Education Nation 2.0: Redefining K-12 Education in America

October 22, 2011 - Designing an education that truly builds the necessary skills for today's enormously diverse student population is not easy. But it's the key to opportunity for our citizens, economic vitality for our nation, and to assuring the U.S. remains a world leader. There is hope: innovations and innovators that challenge the status quo; research to help us understand how to move the education needle; a virtual army of reformers experimenting with new ways to teach, learn, and run our public schools.

Join master interviewer and PBS host Charlie Rose and a distinguished panel of luminaries to tackle the question of how to improve our troubled school system and provide a better future for our nation's greatest resource, our kids.

look at the way were taught multiplication, for example.if wanna find the square of 23 without a calculator i would have to use 23 over 23. in fact you can do this mentally in couple of second. all you do is add the last digit(3) to 23, multiply by 2. find the square of 3. 3 +23= 26, 26x2= 52 3x3 = 9 answer is 529. but no school teaches the slow way.

Too few ideas for so much criticism of the existing system.

somebody should do a count of how many times Goddamn Football was mentioned, and how many times they said "Art class" or "Music class"

That may be part of the problem too you know.

Too many people are worrying about the management of education rather than education itself. Free market vs. public, union vs. non-union is all noise if what is (not) being taught is the issue. Critical thinking and creativity is great but critical thinking and creativity is a waste of effort if the TOOLS of critical thinking and creativity : math, science, languages, history, geography etc. are lost in the process. Agree with everything Sal and Cory say. Pragmatics!

The best teachers are those with a particular personality type

The best teachers are Analytic-Avoiders

The Analytic-Avoider and Students solve problems together and look for a Win-Win result when there is a conflict

The Assertive-Autocrat impose their will and tolerate no argument with when a conflict arises

The Amiable-Acquiescer is over-friendly and gives in to Students

The Amorant-Attacker puts Teacher needs before those of Students and punishes Students for their mistakes

@trublu97 Most of our most pressing healthcare problems could be well addressed simply through more doctors. We need more innovative engineers. Lawyers...well, probably got enough of those! ;)
