The first chapter ofthis bok asreall informative ad touched on any aspects of studnt development. At the beginning of the chapter he talked about how people are more worried about how well the teacher is teaching and not how much the kids are actually learning. He talks about how sine teachers are supposed to teach the kid cetain things, just so they can pas the required tests. He talks about how they are just teaching the kids how to take tests and not how to use their heads to come up with their own ideas and figure out probems on their own insted of constantly being told how tt do things.
He goes on to talk about what kids, in this day and age, need to be able to do survive in this industry. There ar 7 of them; critical reasoning ad problem solving, collaboration across networks, initiativ and enterpreurialism, accessing and analyzing infomation, effective oral and written communiction, curiosity and imagination, and finally agility and adaptability. He also talked about how kids today do not know what is going on the world and how this is because of the U.S. educaton system does not put any emphsis on it. This last thing I did not believe at first, because i grew up with the news but just the other day my friend told me she did not know who our Vise Presidet was. This shocked me and I do believe that this is a problem because they need to be informed about these things so they can make their own dicisions on important topics.
