yep. and they keep screaming for more even tho' research shows that throwing money on it hasn't ever worked. educrats are some of the most hateful folks you ever want to meet. if I had kids, I'd never subject them to the public schools.
It's already up there online. My university tapes all lectures and puts them on its website but only students can access it :@ Make the access more general, pay the students to learn and most crucially.... change how things are tested so kids don't have to pay hundreds of thousands to go to university JUST to be tested and get a qualification :@
Are you sure it is only the teachers unions you will have to fight. There are a lot of people feeding out of the compulsory schooling prison complex trough. School administrations, school boards, teacher colleges, textbook publishers to name a few. They won't give up without a fight!
Nice try!!! I'm sorry to inform you that you are as lame as the current education system. Are you aware of the gap between the mind and body, which this current age is suffering from, and the gap between all disciplines? I've been raised up as a teacher / healer to teach, heal and rebirth this current age.
assessment of logical reasoning is quite easy... i would put the most effort into informal logic trainings (and discrimination)... education system as i painfuly experienced it is mostly indirect discrimination on capacity to memorize...
Alright I agree with your goal, but not your method. Is it really smart to trust the same government who turned schools into indoctrination prisons in the first place?
And even if you do push this through there will be a concession somewhere to the teacher's union. Something like, alright we'll let this national database of classes be created, if you insure that 75% of teachers retain jobs supervising children in computer lavs.
Maybe it will encourage spin offs and competition, but I doubt it.
I think I am in total agreement with a couple exceptions. What are you planning to replace the free babysitting service that the school provides which enables both their parents to work while society watches over them? A large part of education is teaching children to fit into societal molds, to stand in line, take turns, do as they are told and to meet expectations. How would you socialize children as future compliant workers?
The lack of motivation in children has such a draining/negative impact on genuinely optimistic teachers; my roomate is a (burnt-out/conservative) recently retired elementary school teacher and affirms to the constant up-hill battle with progress due to the lack of motivation in both students and teachers. For example, motivation/lack of incentive seems to be the major obstacle in the implementation of the No-Child-Left-Behind program.
sorry if that was unclear... I think that your internet schooling idea is perfect because a student has all the resources and references right at hand to look into any interest or idea. I really just maximizes your potential intellectually. Great idea.
I think we also need to consider teaching in a new, more objective way. A lot of History courses are biased...they overgorify America and other countries.... We need to teach these things in a way that is honest/ethical, displaying the good and bad of History even if it will make America look evil. maximizes the innate human need to creativly inquire (which I think you were kind of getting at Gary). A lot of high school is just indocrination...we need enlightenment not imposed ignorance.
I'm all for this, but unfortunatly once I did the cold hard math I found that it's economically impossible to pay EVERY highschool graduate 30k for graduating, let alone 50k, even with the money left over from the institutions/salaries going bye-bye. So that puts a huge damper in the all important incentive part of the offer. And without that, what you're proposing is simply "online courses" which have already been around for over a decade and very few students overall are opting to take them.
How many HS students acutally know that it costs that much to go to school? I'd be willing to wager that 10k would do it just fine. That woulda been a hell of an incentive for me! I'm sure less would work too. After all, they aren't seeing a dime at the moment (besides the gifts from relatives at graduation time)...
First thing really is in the uk its different, state schooling does reach nearly all kids here but the quality is shitty.
With modern tech you could do this reform, first thing i thought of was questions not covered in the topics faq which could be done via e-mail. You'd need intensive videos for slower learners, could even use different styles.
Theres been a lot of useless lessons at my uni which i would never spend time watching if they were videos "read the module guide", remove that & save
Yep - spend a fortune on forcing children to learn in a prison - or make the horse hungry - take advantage of tech and provide incentive. Extremely good idea. 5*
I don't know if they still have this program, but at my school pizza hut had something called book it, where you got free personal pan pizzas if you read a certain amount of books & then wrote reports on them. this "bribe" certainly worked for me, and I grew into the habit of reading for enjoyment. Sounds like a good idea to me.
When I was in 5th grade, my district experimented with weekly computer-based sessions in math and reading. I didn't have a computer at home and wasn't particularly interested in the subject matter at first, but I ended up sailing through those things, finishing before most other students, scoring highly on the tests, and receiving a little recognition at the end of the year. The next year a few of us got to sit out of math and study geometry and algebra on our own thanks to our experience with
the software, which we only used for two 15-minute periods a week as opposed to 40-60 minutes daily spent at the playhouse (love that metaphor).
The next year they had a computerized program designed to test our comprehension of selected books in the library. Books were worth varying amounts of points based on length and difficulty, and many of us otherwise unengaged kids quickly realized that it was worth it to slog through the "big kids' books". Unfortunately they didn't have anything like
this in our district's middle or high schools, and many of us regressed to an apathetic state as we got older.
We didn't know what the prize would be for collecting the most points during these tests, but the competition actually made us feel smart and productive in school (go figure). Give kids real incentives, and they'll do even better. I'm a believer.
Sorry for the long comment; just wanted to share why I agree so strongly. Spot on, man.
khanacademy does something like this already.
