What isn't wrong with high school?
In Las Vegas, four shootings in three months.
An emphasis on dress codes instead of recruiting competent teachers.
Tardy and absences policies which make it more difficult for students to focus on learning.
Antiquated teaching methods.
A lack of knowledge of how our kids learn in a technological age.
High school needs to be revamped. It isn't safe as it is, it isn't relevant.
One of these days us grown-ups will "get it"-that the method of teaching in our schools is hopelessly out of touch with our kids.
We are losing the best and the brightest because we insist on conformity rather than creativity. We compel kids to learn information not relevant to their lives and do not prepare them for today's world of technology and information.
We prepare them for a world of computer information, sophisticated languages and fast paced demands using number two pencils, notebook paper and teachers recruited from other countries because we treat ours like shit and no one wants to do the job.
I liken it to fighting a Predator with a shield and a sword.
When will we ever learn to pay attention to what our kids are saying??
