Education Nation: Chapter 2

The second chapter or edge as it is called in the book is about curriculum. This is a very important edge due to the fact that this is what we teach our children and how we assess them. Something that I read about and I whole heatedly agree with is project based learning. I think this is a great way to enhance critical thinking. Also collaboration can really be seen through project learning. Also you can see that there is a way to teach without forcing memorization. I feel that you need to learn not memorize. How many doctors just say, "that's is cancer." They usually have to look at their books to make sure. You can learn without memorizing everything. Another point made in the chapter is that we should like high school, college and your career. I think this is really important because we can get kids interesting in things so that they will not drop out and will be excited to go to school. This book just keeps getting better.
