Many years ago, our country has decided that public education is such great value that we should do it for free and compulsory. In many early communities began as a one room school. If the population does not warrant a full-time teachers gave teachers for smaller communities.
As a teacher for the past thirty years I will try to convince you that a change in education is long over due. I'll try to explain how it should change, and why it has not changed. Many political leaders in many countries have used children's education as a forum to make appointed. Change is promised in the form of programs such as "No child left" program. One can find a long list of other programs that promised that American children will catch up with their counterparts in China, Japan and other industrialized countries.
So what's the problem? The problem is that our children do not live in the Agriculture, Settlement Association 1800-but we continue to educate them in the same mannor. Think about it ... What we've really changed the relationships in the process of educating students in the last 200 years? If you are preparing students for a society in which we live is an important goal, then we know that we are not doing that. We do not need any test to know that we are not preparing our children for high-tech company that exist today.
Proposed changes to
First of all, if we prepare children for today's world we need to get rid of outdated books and papers that plague our school-age children. It is right we must get rid of books and replace them with CD 's. Then we have a laptop or a computer station at every table in our schools. Of course, there are many possibilities. It could be lap top brought them to the beginning of the school and turned in at the end of the school year.
there is no good reason other than cost, for students carrying around 5 or 6 books with a notebook, pen and paper. It's just not the way our modern society works. What sense would that teach our children to use books to get information? Neither one of you reading this article will waste the time it takes to find the right book to buy or borrow it, and then read it cover to cover. Why should we teach future leaders how to get the information using a method that has been dated at best?
Think of the possibilities. How would you like to be a student enters the classroom for the United States history? Can you excited when I told you that you will be able to use the drive to explore each of the topics we will cover this year? Would you prefer to keep three-ring binder, spiral binder or a file on your PC that could be accessed at home or at school? Not only that, but the instructor can access your work at any time.
If any of this sounds familiar it's because this is not new. That's the way we run business in virtually every industry in America. It seems like it was good enough for adults but too good for the students. I firmly believe that students deserve to have access to modern technological tool that is available to the public in public and private affairs. So why keep it from them? Why hold students back? Why not use technology that is in common use throughout the world?
the simple truth
In colonial times it seemed worthwhile to hire a community school teachers to teach in one room škole.Trošak ignorance was too high. Learning to read and write is considered the value of our society.
in America today are not willing to pay to get our children the education that will prepare them for the society we live in. It cost too much to equip schools with modern technology. Not to mention the fact that we have teachers with the skills needed to use technology in the classroom.
Identifying problems is easy. They are identified each year in local, state and national elections. I am confident that solutions are as obvious. Now all you have to do is convince the American public to prepare our children for the society in which we live is worth the price and that we really can not afford to continue to learn the same methods 1800th
