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:
  1. What do you think is a global student (after reading the article)?
  2. What do you agree with in the article?
  3. What do you disagree with?
  4. What does your school do to make you a 21st century student?
  5. My teacher decided today that we would turn this idea into a project, and propose ideas to make our school more 21st-century. We're going to work on them occasionally throughout the year, and then at the end of the year, she wants to present them to the administration. What would you guys do to improve your school?

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.
