Just looking at the way our Government has lost control of it’s mandate to help it’s citizens with recent price increases
Inflicted on an already overworked and underpaid population... Maybe it’s time to look at our education System
and change the focus from testing students to testing Ideas. Our internet world is so full of information that educators need to teach the process of skeptical enquiry and relaying on evidence. And that goes for our politicians as well, Life is not all answers but a lot of questions, good teaching should be about sorting the wheat from the chaff in life. Looking at the media today one cant help notice that we need better thinking tools to make robust citizens rather than “hoop jumpers”. Our kid’s phones bring them all the knowledge of the world they just need to be taught how to process it. And perhaps learn the joy of discovery.
