There's nothing I like better than a blog about education that makes a valid point. I've been an educator since I was 20 years old and have always felt that academic systems do not evolve as quickly as society and the minds of the students.

From middle school up - children should be shown how education and their future will work hand-in-hand so that they can make a difference even at their age. If someone is programmed to be interested in something, they get smart at it either by personal experience, text, or visual learning. We only focus on subjects that connect to our personal grids. The rest is generally, though not always, a waste of time. From what I remember in the public school systems of New York City, there were never enough supplies, nor enough specialized teachers, for the ever changing developmental and emotional issues of the students. Not only are children being trained for a world that doesn't exist - they are not being prepared for one with an uncertain future.
