This Blog is mainly featured on the readings of Khan "The Broken Model", and the video of "The short history of American school" . this blog is going to be a connection and a firm agreement of both the text and video.
This reading and video resonated with me on a deeper level. To see that education today has been continually failing our students, it brought to me, my attention on how can we mix things up or even change this cycle of training our students to be subordinate adults, who will one day work for 40 plus years. Our society has created this cycle of putting kids through a never ending day of bell ringing, sit still, hand raised and perfect lines, to only then be rewarded with little to nothing. I agree with the argument of what the video made. our students do not learn the skills to operate in the real world, skills that if taught early on can help them. Now that we are so technologically advanced, we should create new ways of teaching that suit their needs, if young students got a chance to pick and choose which classes they would be interested in, like college's and universities then education would make a massive resurgence. Public school, private school, and charter schools may suit the interests of every child. giving them a choice and ways to help make that choice could.
Reflection: Our schools and education need a massive overhaul as educators it is our job and mission to do to suit the needs of every child. To make sure that their voice and future is heard.
below is an article that goes a lot deeper:
Hello Donte! This was such a concise yet informative description of the article. I agree, that as generations of students change, so should the way our educators perform.
