TIME: How to Bring Our Schools Out of the 20th Century
Foreword: I hope this is in the right sub-forum. If not, could a mod please move it to where it needs to go? Thanks.
There was an interesting article in TIME this week entitled "How to Bring Our Schools Out of the 20th Century". (If the link does not work, please PM for instructions on how to access and read the article. You may have to search for the article, and then agree to watch a short ad to see the whole thing. You don't have to subscribeto TIME to read it.) I have a few questions for the CD community regarding the article. We read and discussed it in my Honors English 2 class yesterday, and I'd like to hear what you guys think. For you, in general:
And in regards to FIRST: Does participating in FIRST help us be, or even make us 21st century students? I just thought this was a very interesting idea and article. I'll post what I think a little later on, after some responses come up. |
Re: TIME: How to Bring Our Schools Out of the 20th Century
First point: I don't think this would be a math and science topic. While it covers the teaching of math and science, it does not directly deal with such topics.
Second point: I can't help but think that you are using CD as a source for cheap answers on an essay. Maybe its just my interperetation of the way you posed your question, but I feel like I'm taking a test in a current problems class and not reading a thread. Third point: This one's not too deep. It is an interesting article, if somewhat redundant in some respects, about how the US, in general, is lagging behind in educational standards. The only new information I see in this article is some of the ways to curb it (and I'm not counting the "we need to follow x country's example in x subject point. It's getting old. New information please!). Oh, yeah and the link works, just so you know. |

Eric, to answer your questions:
1: I did make a note that I was not sure if it was in the right section, and if it wasn't, asked if a mod could change it (can they? I think they can-I've seen it done on other vBulletin forums). Quote:

I have to go to a tennis class, but when I'll get back, I'll post what I wrote on the subject to start the discussion. |

Ok, as promised, here are my answers:
Now that I've posted my opinion, what does the rest of CD think? |

I'm a big fan of TIME, it was an interesting article to read (could of used a cooler cover though)

Sorry 'bout that
I'd like to apologize for my previous post. I was rude. It was an interesting article, and I shouldn't have given you any flak for your wording. You have no need to apologize. :(
