How do we know what students are really learning? If they come home each night and work hard, hand in quality work, and perform on a test or project well, we assume they are doing well and are ready for the next step in school. But what is the material that they are learning? Is it what they really need to know?
There is an assumption that we are preparing them for the next school or step in their life. But I propose that we really are working in many cases without knowing what is essential in the next step of their lives. Are we really preparing them for the life ahead? What exactly is the life ahead?
I would challenge our society to ask, what is truly expected from our learners and citizens?
That is enough for now.
