I really do not even know where to start, as I am sure that whatever I write will do the video from last night's class no justice. The short analysis which offered solutions, reminded me of the film Waiting for Superman. Schools are operating on an old factory model and students are the product on the conveyor belt to be stamped and placed out into society once they ride to the end of the conveyor belt. Never mind, schools do not do a real great job at tailoring the curriculum to the needs of its students.
You would think it would be just the U.S. undergoing an education reform, however, many countries are reforming their education system to respond to the growing changes and dynamics of the world. Now there is a need to educate and produce globally competent students who must learn to foster relationships with different peoples of the world. This is an exciting time--at least from where I sit.
