Amber's soap box part 2

The industrial model of schooling was so efficient that few were willing to change it when the information age came along. It worked so well for so many years before; why mess with what appears to be a good thing? Also, change is a frightening thing.
Now we have ourselves in an advanced age with an archaic education system. Many want to change it for the better, but find them selves swimming against a very strong current of tradition, fear, and the question of how to measure the results of a new system.

Change is good and an overhaul is definitely needed. However, sometimes change can be disastrous if not done properly. What happens if we go in the wrong direction? Would you be willing to risk the future and livelihood of the next generation?

Just be glad you’re involved in FIRST to keep you sane until attitudes and fears can be put to rest for a more positive change in the approach to education.
