Dena BudreckiVIDEO Why should education systems focus on rote learning of facts and teaching of advanced processes unecessary for many real world careers? What is essential? Students know what is essential, and choice must be given to them.

Vicki DavisThis student has done a marvelous speech on Education and giving choices to student. My favorite quote from Andrew ( a student from New Zealand) -- "A closed book test is simply not a realistic situation in the modern world."
I'm not putting this on my blog as an embedded video because I would love for you to respond on NetGen where all educators are welcome to join in with students to discuss how education should evolve. This is an excellent video, and as you can see with my comments, there are a few points I take up with Andrew -- it is one of those -- you've gotta listen to this student kinda videos. He makes some great points speaking out for his generation.
He says that when he asks his parents to help him and they say "I don't know how to do this" it tells him that it is not something that will be used and thus is unimportant! Hmmm.education learning netgened flatclassroom future innovation edu_news all_teachers
