    Information can readily be absorbed when it is relevant to human purpose. The proper focus of authentic education is not ingestion and disgorgement of information like trained seals clapping their flippers on command but a development process that leads to critical thinking and life-long learning skills.

    I agree, many other countries already have free education. I bet the wage gap would definitely benefit from the country having a free education system in the United States.

    I agree with this I think education should always be free. Everyone should be able to get a decent education even if they are not financially well off.

    I feel there would be more to benefit from having a higher population of educated individuals. These people would have more to contribute to society and the economy, so there would be more to gain in the long run.

    I agree with this education should be free. Lots of people don't go to college for the fact that they cant afford to go. President Biden has canceled student loans which I think was really good of him to do. I know people who are in debt due to this.

    Education overall has so many social issues carved into it, cost being one of the major ones. Even just cutting down the cost would help. but we are one of the most expensive countries to attend college in. Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.

    Student loan debt is something that greatly impacts the economy in many different ways. Student debt can cause many graduates to set aside their goals, such as owning a home in order to pay off their debts. Student debt is a larger problems and it is sometimes overlooked.

    This article is about the layoff of 500 Chicago teachers. Budget cuts have been made over the years causing a lot of teachers to be laid off.

    i believe this is wrong considering the fact that teachers have to pay to go to school to get this job and then they are receiving layoffs. that is not okay. this is why we need to recognize the importance of education.
  • David Angulo on 05 Sep 16
     
    That is very crazy to hear. Of course budget cuts occur all the time at schools but something as grave as letting go over 500 teachers is quite absurd. I mean I guess if they felt that they had to do that then so be it but without teachers then who will be teaching the students of the future?

    It's crazy to hear about so many teachers getting laid off, I mean we need education for now and the future. It's mind blowing to know that we have such a poor system for teachers, I feel like they should get paid way more than what they get they spend more time with our children than we do.

    This article discusses how corrupt the healthcare in America is compared to other countries. It shares why they make the healthcare expensive & who it ultimately benefiting from it, being the pharmaceutical industry & the rich. Also shares how even though your work may pay for you healthcare, you're still the one getting gyped.

    I actually wrote a presentation last semester on how the U.S. healthcare system is flawed. In my presentation, I outlined issues such as these. It's refreshing to see others share my views. Personally, this is an interesting read, as I intend on being a part of the healthcare industry. That being said, I believe future generations of healthcare workers need to be educated in matters such as these, so that one day, we may hopefully be able to "fix the system."

    America's healthcare is the most expensive amongst industrialized nations. But higher costs aren't leading to a healthier population or longer life expectancy. The high cost of healthcare negatively affects the American economy in many ways.

    I found this article to be very fascinating indeed. I hope that one day we will have a health care system that is excess-able to all Americans. Hopefully a solution will be properly found during our life time.

20 Life Skills Not Taught In School. - 1 views

    I found this article to be my favorite, in the article it lists 20 life skills not taught in school, from communication and thinking to learning how to build credit and get insurance. This made me really think how I didn't learn any of those skills that I use everyday now when I was in school. It even talks about how the bible, cooking, guns, and finding a job all play a big part in adult life.

    Wow, great find! I have three children and my husband and I are always trying to teach them just about everything listed in this article. Years ago many of those things were taught in some degree. Now it seems like they don't touch much on these at all. I know there are classes when you are older you can go too, but I think all of these subject could be taught to some degree in the classroom setting. I also think that if they were maybe our economy would be better, because our future adult citizens (kids in school) will have a better understanding of what it takes and how to get a head to be a responsible citizen.

    Thanks for sharing this, you're right this is a great article! There are so many skills that the public education system is not teaching, yet they are super important and critical for everyone to acquire.
  • sldaly on 27 Jan 17
     
    I think this article is really cool. It shows really important skills that aren't taught in school that you don't even realize till you actually think about it. Many day to day things aren't taught in school but things that we will never use are taught.
