One of the statements from Ken Robinson that resonated with me is that "College is not for everyone". I couldn't agree more. I see the push and pressure for all kids to go to college and they have no idea why. The students may have other ideas and dreams but educators and the general public say, "You must go to college". So they go to college and while in school for the first two years they are taking general education courses. It's only after all that, that students (finally) can sink their teeth into the meat of what they may be passionate about. It seems that students are locked into an archaic mind set that they have seen beyond. I think the students are in the agriculture model and as educators, we are often fighting to keep them in the manufacturing model.
Learning to Change, Changing to Learn:
I'm learning to change with the technology, albeit at a snails pace.
Students will continue to push us to change and progress forward. As an educator, playing catch-up is challenging.
