C4T #2 Summary post for #1&2

C4T #1 post
I feel like "what now, what next", is a wake-up call for the powers to be in politics. After all, politicians are the ones who sit behind their desk, miles from the mess they created and pass these unbelievable laws for education. Statistics show that we are spending around $600 per student , on education. The iSchool presentation should make those politicians look like fools. Why don't they use the technology? Because that would be an admission of their stupid mentality. Also, why not spend the money on re-educating teachers. They would need to be educated, not only on the technology available, but to come up with a curriculum, that is more diverse. Testing, tracking and standardized test, are a joke. These policies are only oppressing people of color, and making it harder for them to go to college. Most of them drop out, or loose interest. This cycle needs to be broken.

Nothing different from my feelings on #1 or #2 assignment. Forgot to mention how much guts, it took for Teachernz, to post on his blog site, about the evils of the educational system today. There is a lot of politicking going on, about how should we overhaul our educational system. Sounds to me, like Teachernz cares more about our children's future, than the flack from the politicians. If he really wanted to help, he should run for office.


Summary for #1&2
Again, I may not agree with the language of the messenger, but i guess something had to be done to shake-up the politicians. They sit in these offices miles away from the action, and make these idiotic decisions. There should be some type of system in place, where teachers(both white and people of color), can have a major role, in educational policies. Sh*t flows downhill, so the changes need to start at the top. You can say what you please, but the fact remains, we are falling farther and farther behind other countries, in the education of our youth. America was a leader in the petroleum, car manufacturing, and the micro-chip industry. We lost the lead because other countries, took what we invented, and made it better. In order for the US to retake the lead, we have to re-invest in our educational system, and stop putting up brick walls,when it comes to untilizing the technology available to us today.
