21ST CENTURY LEARNING AS DEFINED BY THE EXPERTS


 

My hat goes off to the first one who can make heads or tails or glean one iota of meaning from the following propaganda piece:  https://thefullertoninformer.com/?attachment_id=1262

This propaganda piece was published right on the heels of our efforts to awaken the sleeping giant- the parents of children in the Fullerton School District, to the dangers of wireless classrooms. I just don’t get it and by the wording on that yellow piece of paper that came home with my children, it appears that neither do they.

    Why all of the experimentation in our schools? The dependence on wireless technology is an experiment in education. Does this keep the Pletka’s of the world relevant?

    ” . . . . state departments of public instruction actively encourage experimentation, but they make it extremely difficult to halt failed ideas and projects. Indeed, the promotion and tenure system rewards curriculum designers, textbook authors and education bureaucrats who sell “new ideas” and “cutting-edge” approaches to pedagogy. Many of the new ideas do not work, but once accepted in school curricula they are hard to get rid of.”

    Remember the failed idea of “whole language” reading and writing educational program? Yep, it’s another educational experiment on the kids that FAILED. I wonder what would happen if they quit experimenting with our children’s education and just went back to plain teaching them.
