"What year are you preparing your students for? 1973? 1995?
Can you honestly say that your school's curriculum and the program you use are preparing your students for 2015 or 2020? Are you even preparing them for today?"
Heidi Hayes Jacobs wrote the above quotation in the introduction to Curriculum 21, which she edited.
Think about it. What year are you preparing your students for? What future jobs will they be able to get, learning under your guidance?
I want my son prepared for the future. Why won't any parent want that? If yo are teaching memorization in the age of google, what are you doing? If you aren't teaching inquiry skills, or critical analysis skills, or creativity, what are you doing?
