What programs would you like to see added?
The schools need to enhance their scheduling of classes to include predictions for unexpected issues that will occur for kids and their families over the course of every year. Along the same lines, we may not know who will have a concussion but we know approximately how many will occur in any year. We need on-hand contracts for tutors with up-front negotiated fees. Our current system reacts very slowly to predicable issues and so many times the need for assistance expires before support can be given. Our kids wind up with no grades and gaps in their content knowledge. We can do better without a lot of cost or effort. In addition, students should be able to try the level of education where they feel they would do best and be able to adjust as reality shows them the best fit.
My favorite programs include:
- musical math
- art and math
- math in recess and athletics
- story telling
- game development
- robots helping kids with autism understand facial expressions...
