A PLAN TO REMODEL EDUCATION
Is Your Student Ready to M.E.E.T. the Challenge?
A bold proposal for remodeling education
What do we mean?
Our current educational model is outdated and has led to disarray amongst our youth.
Reforming our education system comes down to re-modeling our education system.
A solid education is how we help people help themselves.
Let's get student to teacher ratios down, by introducing technology / software so that students can learn at their own pace while having access to teachers in real time, & remove extraneous coursework in favor of real world based learning.
Have students, on a monthly basis see a therapist or take required courses on emotional intelligence. If people can learn to control their emotions, it will not just teach people how to treat each other but how to handle themselves. This mental health class, gives a student credit, where a student learns about depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental disorders. Plus, good coping skills and ways to get help.
Have students learn home economics, business, wood shop, technology-- real world courses, including creative arts. So that out of school, students can survive. Remove math, advanced science, & foreign languages, make these electives.
Utilize technology so that students can learn at their own pace. Each student interfaces with a teacher at a distance or a set of videos to learn a subject. Rough edges get smoothed out by onsite teachers.
The logic is that if people feel & and are able to understand their emotional selves, they will be less prone to violence, not be victims of abuse, & they will think long term in their decisions. This means people who get along and no school shootings. Please talk about it and ask your legislators & influencers to help to make this a reality.
