Not my grandparents' school

Submitted by Jessica (not verified) on March 12, 2008 - 20:26.

Many of our students are being taught how our grandparents were taught, but yet we are supposed to be preparing the youth of today for the 21st century and beyond. How can we truly say we are preparing our students for tomorrow, truly we should be saying the school system is preparing them for yesterday. As a special education teacher, I always have to look outside the box to help educate and prepare my students. Shouldn't all students have the benefit of an individual education?

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.

Johann von Goethe
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
