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.

    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.

Education and Social Issues:Learning Through Real-World Contexts - 0 views

  •  
    The education system suffers from many social issues, but the one that stands out to me most is that real life experiences/lessons aren't taught in the standard educational system. Children/young adults are not taught enough about the world around them thus not preparing them for life outside of school.
  •  
    I completely agree with this I feel like we are not taught too many real-life situations school is supposed to prepare us for the future and how can we do that if we don't know many basic life skills great article!

Kids are Learning to Not Ask Questions - 2 views

  •  
    This article features Ken Robinson; a prominent public speaker. In it he discusses how children are being taught the answers and denied the freedom of asking questions.
  •  
    Really great read!!! This article really digs deep into so many issues our educational system has today. I feel strongly about all of the authors assertions and hope soon we make some changes.
  •  
    Great find, the article it very well written and the topic alone is something to really just think about, I agree that children are becoming much more shy when it comes to asking questions and instead of being told there is no stupid question they just go on not understanding because they didn't want to ask someone a question that they had concerns about.

To Teach or Not Teach Gun Safety in School - 0 views

  •  
    Both sides of the gun control debate say they want gun education and avoidance programs taught in public schools from kindergarten through middle school or even high school. Legislation however is having a hard time agreeing on just what should be taught about gun safety.

Details on State Prayer in Public School Laws - FindLaw - 2 views

  •  
    Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

    A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
  •  
    While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
  •  
    I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
  •  
    America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

Racial injustice - 1 views

  •  
    Schools are discriminating against color people. Now allowing them to have the supplies they need. Telling them they are not smart enough to understand a concept based off the color of their skin. Ignoring the bullying that comes from not only the student but the faculty as well.
  •  
    I completely agree with this article. I feel that if children are allowed the same resources and are taught how to combat racism from a young age, future generations will be safer and more peaceful.

Educational Rights Overview - 0 views

  •  
    This website discusses the rights of an individual to a free education. It also describes the law in which a person with learning disabilities in entitled to.
  •  
    Disabled children of the U.S have a right to public education without a cost to their family. Every school has to try to meet the needs of every child with disabilities by providing special education. This is a law that says that every child who has a disability has to be taught in a "least restrictive environment". Meaning disabled kids go to the school in their district and also go to school with children who have no disabilities. This law also states that a disabled child should be put into a class that they would have been put into if they were not disabled if possible.

The Dangers of Religious Instruction in Public Schools - 0 views

  •  
    This article explains religion in school, and whether or not children should be taught religion by teachers. Everyone has a different view on religion, and having a teacher teach 30 students a religion could cause harm.
