Schools should shift their focus from creating future workers to helping mold whole, healthy, literate, art-enjoying, tolerant, civic-minded people. I hear teachers talking about employment to our 8-year-olds, and teaching about interview skills to fifth graders. C'mon! This is absurd. Let the kids be interested in adventure stories and science experiments and art projects and recess. They have no use for interview skills at age 10 and all the use in the world for their imaginations and freedom and childhood silliness. |
