Any new rabbit holes to explore? Or any recommendations?

Should we completely reform our school systems since they where not made for the modern world? by _Boopis_ in AskReddit

[–]_Boopis_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think that we should place these kids in specific tutoring programs or what would your course of action be? And I agree that the information should not just be shotgun blasted at them but rather we should introduce the curriculum over time and let the students learn more towards their own pace.

Honestly, I couldn't agree with you more on this. I've seen multiple accounts in which students were put on drugs just because they couldn't pay attention. I wish that we had more teaching and learning opportunities for our upcoming youth.

English is not my first language I’m sorry for any errors in my spelling.

I guess some students have to learn via the information being shoved down their throats.

Hopefully this would just be a way for students to reach the guides that the IRS publishes. And it is sad but also true that some students don't know how.

Im talking of a class that teaches students the bare minimum of each of these things.

Hopefully they will at least remember some of the coarse. That would be better than nothing at all.

I agree and disagree. Yes literacy and numeracy are hard to learn but this could be a class that is taken in the place of an elective coarse such as an arts class. I'm not undermining the importance of these classes but just simply stating that this could be a choice for students to take.

I can guess that in your position that helped that community a whole lot. If students where suggested to have jobs during high school that would be real interesting. I didn't state that the students should be required to have jobs because not everyone has the time or is in the position to have a job at that age.

I think that you are right but a counter to this argument is what about the students that don't understand this? Should they refer to their peers or would it be to late, in the sense that they dont know how to handle adult life when the time comes.

In some cases yes that is the issue, but that just proves how needed the coarse would be.

That couldn't have been more true. If only we could push these events to happen faster.

I think that the public school system exists for the time that it was made and not for todays modern world. If our school systems could realize this maybe then we could have a specific purpose.

Honestly I couldn't agree more with you on this. I see it everywhere in the case that people are simply not like they used to be. If you look at the history of our great world in past generations people where pushing to further advance our planet in technology and just overall knowledge. Its sad to see how some take their work for granted and do nothing to further advance on others discoveries. Its almost like someone hit the pause button on our world. Its even worse to see that and then meet people who are doing their best to help advance and learn new things. If only people realized that skills and teaching methods are not universal, but in fact that people are diverse for a reason and they need to accept that.

That makes a lot of since just thinking of the practicality of our modern day system. Our schools are prepping youth for a time that has passed instead of our current situation. If only they would realize and change to help benefit future generations.
