Future of Educaton is Here Now

Nice. I think the entire education system needs a revamping with each and every student being treated as gifted students—inspiring them to discover, think, share.

My daughter is currently working with high school students who did not “pass the literacy test” and thus won’t be able to graduation. What do they need to pass? Well one of the things is to write a newspaper article. Yah, that sounds important to these young people.

Getting off my soapbox.

The program described above sounds amazing.

I like what you are saying. It is a bit hard to read, however. (paragraphs are your friend)

Amen Rikkor.

And Amen Richard. A great sounding concept and it seems to be bearing fruit. That commendable in todays education.

Hi Karson, It truly is a great opportunity for our young people and it is really working too. Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and yours.

Maybe the key is that you challenge the kids. Many schools have had their art/woodworking curriculums stripped in favor of math and science. Different kids have different gifts. We are losing the education war. Good to see a ray of hope.

I could not agree more with you Mr. Mitchell. Not everyone is going to be an Engineer or Architect. I spent close to 40 years doing building construction as an electrician using the blueprints created by those Intellectual types. It was the guys in the field that interrpreted their ideas and made it work. We need both types I would say and I would never forget those I can relate to most easily. The salt of the earth. Have a great one Sir. Bye.

RIchard,

You pretty much lost me after reading your spelling of EDUCATON in your headline. ;-)

creative thinking sees the ideas and that’s far more important than technical details such as composition :) (of course the “correct” use of the written language does make it easier to read)

My daughter and I had a lovely discussion about your article.

Please “re-compose” it I was planning on sending a copy to a couple School Boards and Principals.
It really says a lot, thanks.

I agree.. I’d like to see the re-write :)
