General Discussions: Education Reform

 

I'd welcome discussion on any aspect of education reform, but my specific concern is curriculum. As I've stated (on the "We Have Problems" and "Why We're Getting Worse" pages), I see five major curriculum problems:

(1) Oversimplified learning theory

(2) Overwhelming, disorganized content

(3) Limited, limiting learning resources

(4) Fragmented knowledge

(5) Standardization (leading to stagnation)
