Hello! I'm responding with my former EdTech student, Adrian Sanguyo (ian_sanguyo@yahoo.com), from my university where I teach. Vocational education is also provided here among the high school students in the Philippines. The program in Nebraska is amazing. In the field of sciences, there should be a reduction of redundant topics. Mathematics should teach only topics that are useful in student's field in the future. NonMathematics major students should have options in high school math. Students should master skills in communication both oral and written especially writing correspondence. Basic accounting principles and worksheets must be deeply learned. Students must be literate both words and numbers, i.e., they should know how to read and compute. There are many subjects in high school that students have less and less time to study and cope up with the requirements. Too many subjects, too many requirements, are stressful to them and interests will decline. The result is that students will be burnt out and become bored. There should be less time spent in the classroom and more time in real-life activities. Standardized tests should be removed because one cannot say that he or she is not intelligent. Students must be tested on what he or she can actually do. That way he/she will have a chance to discover himself/herself wholistically. Thank you for the invitation to share our views.
