I assume I'm supposed to talk about 3 of the discussions listed on shifthappens.wikispaces.com. The first discussion is about K-12 grade online schooling. I like the idea, but I see a few problems. The first issue is the time for the parents. Unless one of the parents isn't working, or they have money to hire a tutor, I can't see having time to teach kids from home. The second main problem I see is the social interaction the kids are missing from the school atmosphere. I think by allowing the kids to stay home and do their school, it'll be harder for them later on in life when they start to work.
As I'm reading these other discussions, I'm finding them highly irrelevant. Such as Sesame Street laying off its employees. How can I possibly summarize this? I guess it was big news back in 2009.
I also read a discussion talking about the video being trivial propaganda. I agree with what the author is saying. I don't think Americans should be worrying about any country overtaking our global dominance. I agree that our educational system is no good. I don't agree that we should teach more broadly. I think kids should learn more things that have real-life relevancy. I think they should be learning things like how to manage their money first of all. Other things include time management, negotiation skills, survival skills, how to manage your mental issues, and probably better classes on preparing the students how to interview for a job. This is a little personal, but my brother went into an interview where my mother was the boss. She said she's never been more embarrassed in her life.
