You must decide what the purpose of education is before you can work toward the goal of education. Since there seems to be no clear direction from the federal or state governments due to their fascination with high stakes testing (which really shows their purpose IMO) you will need to decide for yourself.Wm Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692221214846665588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102974070271233121.post-7325268510277739542010-01-20T11:05:05.139-06:002010-01-20T11:05:05.139-06:00Haley,

As a future teacher, what measures do think you can bring into the system to make it better?gtashbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188523431084023998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102974070271233121.post-58495057367772367592010-01-15T04:33:56.916-06:002010-01-15T04:33:56.916-06:00Great blog and interesting view.

I just wanted to mention that in the "did you know" movie, I felt the amazing thing was not just how advanced things are becoming but that other countries lead the way. If China has more English speaking people than anywhere else and continues to grow, it will make most people in the United States less prepared, or educated, to compete globally.<br />We live in a global society and ten years, twenty years, thirty years from now you will be teaching the future leaders of industry to compete with everyone.....I would like to be prepared to give myself and those I teach a chance to succeed. You nailed my thoughts on creativity and the lack of change in education; most schools are underfunded and overpopulated with students and tests. Before long you will be able to write grant proposals and bring your classroom/school into this decade by encouraging creativity.Jim Fawcetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296062855976756222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102974070271233121.post-81356932382025351322010-01-14T20:37:08.198-06:002010-01-14T20:37:08.198-06:00From what i have read so far we have a few artsy s...From what i have read so far we have a few artsy students in this class including myself.
