International Test Scores do not correlate to Anything! Plain and simple. Sorry Superman you can go back to the ice cave.
What does matter? I am with Florida, the author, not the state. Hyperpowers matter. That is what we should be teaching.
Technology, Talent, and Tolerance!
I also appreciate Florida's use of the gay index. And living in Seattle is the perfect example. This city is the world leader in technology. It is full of talented people with terrific educations. And it is extremely tolerant of others. And it has a great gay population flourishing in this city.
My friend Mark Galbo, creator of the real "Rock and Roll Academy" in Telluride, always spoke of turning students from consumers to producers. He was on to something! It needs to go beyond music. Education need to work with strengths. Students need personal learning of their own choice and design.
And my last idea today is a little off the previous thread.
Coltrane saw the Circle of 5ths.. Some time you need to learn the basics or the rules in order to improvise, change it, and make it better. You need a data base to draw conclusions. You need to memorize in order to improvise.
The five R's are tired! School curriculum haven't changed and they need to. The world doesn't have silo problems. It has multi-level integreated problems. It is time to create a school curriculum that doesnt' spend so much time seperating subjects. Math is in every class. What class don't you need English in?
I like the TED idea. Technology, Entertainment, and Design
