When Will Education Become Outdated? Dawning Valley
|
|
|
|
The teaching process has changed quite a lot over the past centuries. In the ancient Roman society, children were simply taught by their parents and the boys were brought up learning the trade of their father. In colonial America, children were generally either taught at home or in small, one room schoolhouses. Public education as we know it today has only been around for the last century or so. Even today, education is undergoing rapid changes. Homeschooling is on the rise, as are alternative education options like online learning and small charter schools. What will it look like in another 100 years?
Will education itself ever become obsolete or unnecessary?
I read an article not that long ago discussing standardized testing in a country other than the US. A student at one of the tests was discovered to be cheating by receiving messages on his Internet connected wristwatch. Since then, all watches have been banned from testing sites. Similarly, in the US, students are already not permitted to bring a dictionary or cellphone to the SAT. Other standardized tests in highschool do not permit students to bring calculators.
