Education Today and Tomorrow paragraph 21st Century Learning

A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions. - Anonymous

 This video highlights the fact that we are still teaching in ways that are counterproductive to the interests of the United  States.  Other developed nations are taking the lead in education.  The video highlights China in particular.  We have lost the focus of what education should be, a way to empower and prepare the next generation for success. When we are unwilling or unable to adapt to the new technology wave sweeping our nation, we are stifling the growth of our children.  


We ask them to leave home, when even the most meager family has some sort of technology, and more likely than not, they have a game of some sort. We ask them to sit stationary in a desk for up to six hours.  No wonder they love PE and lunch so much, at least they get to move and talk to each other.  the question s related to this video are on an earlier post.  Thanks for your time and interest.
