Changes I would make to education

From a very young age, every child has a dream to do something big and differ from the rest. I believe that one  way that every child can achieve that is through educating them, not only about the ABCs but also more about "real-life". For instance when I was younger, I didn't really understand much about technology and I would always have difficulty doing even the smallest of things such as sending an email or even logging on to the famous Poptropica. And since no one had ever really taught me important computer fundamentals, when I entered high school, I had a very challenging time. Since high school demands so many essays to be formatted a certain way or for presentations to be done online instead of the good ol' poster board I was use to, I had a lot of learning to do. Multiple endless nights trying to learn things on my own as deadlines loomed closer and closer. So perhaps if we can educate more children on technological applications, and how to use them, when they arrive to high school, they wont have such a difficult time.

The changes I would make in education may not be popular. In our 21st Century learning age, the reliance on technology is paramount. However, "old fashioned learning" should never be discarded. For instance, the ability and passion for reading seems to have taken a backseat to abbreviations and quick dialogue. Popular dialogue now consists of 255 characters.

A famous quote that is often times repeated is "if we fail to learn where we came from, we are destined to repeat how we arrived here". I have long loved history and relish in depth reading concerning it from old books. Technology can never roll back the vast avenues it has opened, but it cannot connect with that special part of how we learned before it became the standard.

I would change education in a manner to reinforce the power of reading and non-abbreviated writing. The value in full written communication that transcends generations and is understood by all. Yes, it would be boring to some. However, it is a necessity and sometimes what is necessary is not popular.

Words from Muck

I feel like for education to be successful. There has to be a strong family unit in place that can support and encourage the individual. This is essential to break the past failures of past societies!

Cheyenne: Changes I Would Make to Education

A change that I personally would make to our educational system is that I would add more creative aspects within creating assignments and doing school work. Often times we tend to get caught up in going through the motions and focusing on the basic book work rather than bringing in creative projects and more individualized work. I feel that a student is more likely to shine in what they are doing if they are able to express it in a way that fits them rather than taking a test or writing an essay. I personally would enjoy the incorporation of creativity because I feel that I would succeed greatly in expressing my opinions about different topics.  

Changes I would make in Education

One change that I would definitely make to education would easily be mentoring programs. I think it is very important to make sure kids learn but more importantly understand material that they are being taught. Yes there are tutorials before and after school that are very helpful but I feel that schools should take things a step forward when offering help for students, especially those in sports, different UIL programs, or most importantly just need alot of help!
