In a new vain of discussion, I submit the issue of public education in the United States.
I recently read an article about public education in Japan which was very interesting and made me once again reflect on the crumbling public education system at home...
How can our public education system be augmented to be more effective for our children?
What are the most helpful/harmful aspects of our current system?
Have we moved away from more effective teaching methods or strategies?
Does the public education system as it stands today, serve to generate "cubicle fillers" or educated people who can choose the path of their lives?
What is the role of educators in helping children develop critical thinking skills and powers of reason and logic?
Please feel free to add any questions you feel more appropriate! I really want to see your thoughts on the subject so, Comment Away!
