Off topic -- Education This morning's paper had a couple of pages devoted to how much more difficult school is today compared to a decade ago. It seems like the students are expected to complete more of their studies at home and the parents are getting more involved too. Whole families are finding themselves worn out from helping their children meet these increased demands and deadlines. I think parental involvement is beneficial. As a product of the school system BEFORE the Hall Dennis report (I'm not an educator and I haven't studied this report.) was released in the 1960's, which changed fundamentally the way schools operated province wide ever since, my school experience was mostly drill and discipline. Most students didn't find the experience fun or 'self-esteem enhancing', but we did learn to read, write, and count. As society learns, we develop new approaches to old challenges. Maybe we went too far with child-centered learning, undeserved promotions, and outcome based evaluation. Without experimenting with new approaches, we'd never discover what works better and what doesn't work at all. I often envy the school opportunities of today. Perhaps the best path is somewhere between the system of my youth and what we have today. The first step to improvement is to recognize it's needed. Sorry about the rant, PW.
