We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world. – Dan Quayle, US presidential candidate, September 21, 1988 |
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education - Mark Twain |
Many textbooks and articles have been written about education. They all give wonderful theories about education. Most of them are also stodgy and boring.
Those books are not likely to help you teach. If you know how to teach, then you know how to teach.
This website will be honest enough to tell you up front: It will not teach you how to teach. I hope that you know about it already before getting this far.
This website will explain how to deal with situations that may arise and offer possible practical suggestions for solving them in a better way.
It will also present problematic issues. It will explain how things are done at present, and it will then presents recommendations for improving the situation for future generations.
The result will not be a massive change in the educational system. The system is too big and complex, and it is filled with too much bureaucracy, for a single website to make great changes.
However, many people will read this website. They will be aware of the problems, and of the proposed solutions. Some of these concepts will hit the right person, and they will make a mark in the system.
That is all that is expected. The author wants to do his part:
If everyone who reads this website will then reflect on the situations the proposed solutions, then we will have made the first step in improving the overall educational system.
Read this website with an open mind, and you, too, will benefit from it.
