8 reasons why the traditional education system is broken
Content: Placing more emphasis on technology they can be access from home or any location rather than simply technology that can be placed into schools can have a rewarding upside instead of a distracting downside. Education hasn’t innovated in hundreds of years: even though technology is changing in the world is changing teachers and education as a whole is moving at a snail’s pace. Curriculum standards are changing lightly bite the policy and practice for many classroom environments throughout the world from kindergarten up until grade 12 still follows much of the same mentality. Teachers are receiving much of the same training that they had decades ago and with digital programs it could be possible for students to be learning from the highest trained teachers, with access to new distance-learning technology and with changes made to suit the digital age of education. Unless teachers are able to adapt and skill up beyond the requirements that they need to get hired, it’s very difficult to see a shift in education coming anytime soon. Students are ready for post secondary: although 80% of students in the United States graduate from high school less than half of high school seniors are able to read in a proficient manner for college study or complete complex math problems required for advanced post secondary education. This means that many high school seniors are entering into postsecondary education hitting a brick wall that they’re forced to crawl up in order to advance in their studies. Students continue to be passed when they should be held back in order to keep up with their classmates.
