The article A Turn of the Phrase(s) by Will Richardson is about how schools need to grow out of one size fits all education, but instead find a way of reaching what ever fits each individual student best. This matters to myself, education, and the world. First, the modern classroom is definitely one size fits all. This impacts me, because sometimes I have found learning difficult in the regular classroom. Maybe my style of learning isn’t sitting in a chair all day long with worksheets. I prefer hands on learning.
Second, this matters in education because schools are working on a broader way of teaching. Technology will help in this area. Kids can use the computer to move at their own pace. Third, if individual students are more motivated to learn they will take more responsibility for their education and this will can only be good for the world as these students grow up and begin jobs and contribute to our culture. All in all it is a good idea for schools to be more creative in teaching and technology.
