Education Reform

Ken Robinson & Dan Meyer both provide good topics on how school needs to be changed from like a factory set- up to a individual set- up. Ken points out that school should be based on a agriculture style. This method would let students discovery their individualism. This way will be a longer, drawn out method, but in the end, it will let students be themselves, not the same like schools are trying to make.

I absolutely agree with them. Many people are starting to turn this idea of individualism and turn away from the idea of a factory set- up, cranking out the same part as fast as the can. Being a student, I can see how schools are making us read the same book as everyone else and writing the same paper as everyone else. Everything that we do is the same as everyone else. I would like to choose a non- fictional documentary such as a WWII book or something like that and write about what effects war have on the future generations. Everyone learns and expresses their feelings in a different way, and schools should respect their way. The following videos are where I came up with my opinion about school reform and hope you enjoyed them as much as me.
