“I disagree with Secretary Duncan because I feel that he doesn’t want to do this for schools, but he wants to do it for competition. He feels that we are competing for jobs in China and India against kids.” -Shaista Shoukat
“...state tests don’t make school any more enjoyable or inspiring for kids ... the secretary [Duncan] thinks the major purpose of schools is to keep the future generation on top of its game. He [Secratery Duncan] doesn’t think gaining a love of education but to gain the right kind of education to push us ahead of the kids in China and India” -Corrina Blau
“I do not agree with Secretary Duncan statement because it says that we are competing with other people. That is not right. School is not for competition. School is for learning and for having a bright future.” -Polina Kurovskaya
These three students are onto something... something new. I do not understand these ideas; I am intrigued by these ideas. My Question in response to Shaista, Corrina and Polina:
What would education look like if there were no grades?
Elective means you may choose to participate. I'll read these web log entries but they will have no grade.
