Fischbowl January

I found this blog to be interesting. It is in regards to a colorado proposal to change how the school system should run. First off it would take a major change in the constituion for any of these changes to take place. One of the ideas to assume that the goal is that every child will go to college. The blog questions this because one where do you put all these students, and secondly, where are all these graduates gonna find jobs in their fields.

Another problem is the creation of a state board that would set the cricullum and administer state tests. The blog questions weather it is wise to base a students performance on one test. And if this would just increase the amount schools will just teach to the test.

I think the blog brings up good questions on where the future of education is going. If we are over testing our children and relying to much on those results to acess winning and failure of programs

I really enjoyed this blog. I think it was funny but also touched on a major issue in our schools today. Which is teachers and school staffs that are not technological literate. Many older teachers have not been exposed to new technology or programs that incoming student are aware of. This can cause the students to not be able to get a full and complete education in this changing world. The blog suggest that their should be standards for all schools and teachers.
