Education Stays the Same
When I was in high school it felt like my education was dated, my books were from the 80’s ( Some didn’t need to be updated, because the subject didn’t change, Math ) and we really didn’t have the cool technology that went along with education. Now I know that in some classrooms there are laptops and some classes had computers in them, but the computers were older than me and most just had the internet. With education constantly changing as the workforce demands more out of students education might need to catch up. Now companies need workers who have analytical, problem solving and reasoning skills and education fails to live up to the expectations. Also as things move towards technology and automation students can’t just make it on basic skills anymore. Maybe a more computer savvy classroom would help things. It could open up a whole new world of possibilities in the classroom. Connection with other classrooms around the world could be possible. The only flaw, as with everything in this state or this country for that matter, is money. I don’t think I can figure out that problem but its worth a shot because our Memphis City schools need some help.

Memphis City Schools need A LOT of help. Most of them are not learning anything. They are just fooling around in school, causing problems for people who are actually trying to learn. They need the computers and stuff like that way before than we would need them, no offense to anyone out there who did go to a Memphis City School, but if you did know me, you would know that I mean full offense to you but anyways... I think that America is very cheap and war funds come first in today's age. But that is a story for another day...
