Less interaction more self centered activities make children technology addicted

Looks great!l

As a substitute teacher in two states, it gave me an insight of what is happening in a variety of our schools. I have had the opportunity to teach students from Kindergarten to 8th grade, and I must confess I am appalled at the level of education these children are receiving. We are not teaching our children life-long learning.. The emphasis is placed on the states’ standard tests, and test teaching has become a standard practice for learning. Foundational learning has become something of the past. I strongly believe in innovativeness, but from my personal experience as a non-traditional student pursuing a bachelor degree in social work, I knew that life-long learning is crucial for our present and future educational journey. I observed so many of my peers failed or dropped out of university because they were ill-prepared psychologically and academically. The memory of a 20-year-old co-worker, at same university, haunted me for years as I watched the emotional torment he went through studying for his exams. I knew he wanted to graduate, but he lacked the discipline and foundational skills he should have attained at elementary stage. Learning shouldn’t be torment, but many students in universities have this mindset..
