Today on my flight I noticed a teacher working one row in front of me in the other isle seat. I am nosy, and instantly noticed he was grading papers from his students that were in letter format made out to him with his vacation as the subject.
Ironically about 4 minutes later, mid-paragraph, he fell asleep.
My ironic point being the state of our education system. It hasn't evolved nearly as quickly as we have. In the last 50 years we have seen monumental changes in farming, chemistry, computer technology, civil science, industrial production, and numerous other facets of existence.
If we were to go back 50 years and tell a computer scientist about our computers. He probably wouldn't beleiev us.
If we were rto go back and tell a mechanical engineer how much more efficient engine have become. He probably wouldn't beleive us.
Why havnt exponential teaching advancements become a social norm in America? I'd like to hear your answer. And I'd like to argue with you about it, if your answer doesn't stem from a lack of economics and capitalism in the education system... Riddle me this batman, can you name a monoply industry or organization that has helped evolve better lifestyles for people?
