Educational Talks Cont...

Recently we wrote about bringing digital technology to children using interactive software that has the ability to connect with each and every child regardless of the ethnicity.

We also mentioned home schooling for students which would bring this one on one digital technology to the student at their home.

It's becoming too difficult to train teachers to teach with such an increase of diversity, and it's becoming too expensive and dangerous to get kids to school.

Recently they have just opened school later for students which in turn disrupts the schedules of the parents/guardians to get the kids to school and work for themselves.

Now Mark Zuckerberg weighs in on the subject by introducing personal training and he too recognizes the impracticability of training teachers to meet such a demand.

One of the concerns is teaching in an isolated manner that trains them efficiently in one field while limiting general abilities.

This is how schools teach now and is the exact reason why we need to change them. Most kids don't have basic math and English skills at a college level and flunk out in their first year, and Ironically enough that's all an Associates degree is :-D

They don't have practical bookkeeping skills, bank skills, home building skills or just plain old social skills and never learn those until college and even then there is no guarantee that they'll get it.

Their other argument is the "Real World" factor that again schools think they teach kids, but they don't.

Schools learn out of a text book and a 200 year old curriculum. blah blah blah blah blah, just text out of a book.

Sure these are based on real world events and people, but the problems come with the solutions, so it leaves little to the imagination.

To teach "Real World" to children you must have them garden to watch something grow that they planted and maintained.

Art, Music and Sports create the real world scenario by teaching them isolation, structure and accomplishment and all can be done using these new tools.

The other areas they speak of is the connection aspect that a teacher has over a software program, but again, they are wrong.

Sure, the teacher may connect well with a few of the students and produce outstanding results for those few, but they'll never reach all their students.

Students at a young age feel comfortable around the people that raise them and with software you can create that image they have in their mind and be able to connect with familiarity all the while showing distinction.

There will always be a need for Teachers, but more specialized and tutorial based to help the child with their subjects remotely.

Plus the software is able to come to them in digital form, so the lessons can be taught using headphones that will block out distractions and keep the pupil focused on the lesson.

The teachers of today vent their frustration when a student can't learn by rubbing their head, sighing and even raising their voice, but a software will always stay in a positive form and always reassuring the student that they are going to get it.

sidenote: However, not limited too...you can change the mannerisms to adapt to different learning abilities... 

We are too reliant on the quotes and expressions of others with television episodes and movies when we should be discovering our own quotes and expressions from ourselves and our peers.

People respond with quotes from movies and find themselves in trouble using the tactics that actors use and not what real life requires.

"Finally, children’s preferences are not fixed—in fact they often change as immediate responses to the environment."

Children's preferences changed due to the parents/guardians life lessons and what has and has not worked for them changes a child's preference.

This is the delicate balance of guardian and child that schools endure every day that includes parents input and child's abilities.

Parents will always be hovering above their children in helicopters, but what has to change is the distance they need to keep from one another so the child can develop on their own and not around the family's business needs.

Hololens developments are the final piece of the puzzle to keep kids connected through digital virtual reality to maintain cognitive skills and social interaction.

They also mention the security behind the development of the child and keeping this safe...safe from what?

Anything you do in school is public record and is used in every resume you'll ever fill out and any job you apply for so this is a ridiculous question.

The only security that people are concerned with is the aggregating circumstances a child/teen has with physical disabilities or personal troubles, but that's not a part of the school system, that's a part of the medical and judicial fields, not the schools.

Time management is the true key to learning and if the child doesn't feel pressured by a clock or their peers stepping up before them to turn in their test first will allow the child to learn at their pace and this is where schools of today will never be able to compete with digital learning...and that's a fact!
