I can refer to you to colleagues with all the coding skill required to create electronic courses which accomplish those<br />

ends if you don’t know any but many of you already do too. The U.S. Department of Education isn’t going to do it for you.<br />

You’ll have to do the heavy lifting here, but I predict the result will make this country’s students the highest scoring in<br />

the world. Your reward will be a class filled with eager learners who are motivated to understand your subject evidenced<br />

by unassigned research based on pure fascination. Reflect for just a moment on how nice that will feel. If a teacher had<br />

done these things for me, I’d never forget them. I’d love them and work harder than ever to make them happy for rescuing<br />

me from the tedious boredom and emotional angst.<br />

Let’s not assume learning ends with schooling because we know otherwise. In switching to an aptitude- and interest-based<br />

curricula, there are a lot of things that you won’t be doing so much of anymore like passive learning such as<br />

lectures. Students are instead paired into dyads or small teams. The team is presented a scenario, and a toolset they<br />

have been familiarized with and a deadline in which to present a working solution. How much more employable and<br />

creative are such students likely to become?<br />

Please let me know if you agree that educators can fix most of the biggest problems schools are now faced with by simply<br />

recognizing and remediating our own learning disability.<br />
