Quotes:
There is one major hurdle, though. The business world thrives on change. If you don't change, you don't improve, and you go out of business. The education world, it seems, thrives on stability and limiting change.

I do agree with Lucas's idea. Right now, our education system really needs updating. Most of the students are loosing their interests in learning, especially at school, because things we are using, we are being taught are mostly out-of-date. Students don't need expensive, seldom-to-use textbooks. The reason why I said this is, every semester I buy at least 4more than two-hundred-page textbooks, unfortunately, after each semester, the content we have used and learned can be squeezed to, I can confidently say, 20 pages. So what is the reason we buy them? Just to let others know that we are being educated? No. We have to abolish this kind of dummy perception. I really want to tell people who are running the education system that we wish more and more technology can be applied to our classes. This is the way, the only way, to bring students who are loosing their way back to school, and educate them the way they like and the society is expecting.

ReplyDeleteGreat post. I agree with your analysis on the textbooks. Why buy them if you are not going to utilize them!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I do agree that our education system does need an updating. Our students are stuffed into textbooks, when they should be becoming familiar with all the different kinds of technology around them.
