Moving away from the teaching methods of today and giving
the youth a diverse, applicable education would be very beneficial. Anyone can
memorize facts or theories, but it takes a true understanding of what’s being
taught to be able to use that information effectively. Children are born with
an incredible ability to explore the world around them by learning how everything
works through their senses. This promotes critical and creative thinking. Once a
child is of age to attend school, that explorative nature is taken away. Instead,
their learning takes place through videos, presentations and books—which are
great resources—but the education system needs to keep the exploration a child
does alive throughout their education. Rather than solely using the “drill and
kill” method, I think our education system should use a more “hand’s on”
approach when teaching kids and apply what is taught to real-life scenarios. I
believe this will not only teach children, but help them to securely obtain the
information as well.
