Response to Isaac's Blog

I see the point Isaac is trying to bring up that children need to have more of a input on their own education. I personally believe that our educational system needs to remained very structured. First off you critic the focus on reading, writing and math. I feel that this is ridiculous because those subjects are the foundation of all others. You can't love science or history if you do not have proficient basic skills. Also if we allow children to choose to learn only what they want we would live  in a world of artists and gym teachers. Kids do not know what is good for them. Also what happens if you change your mind when you get older? Without a well rounded education people would have nothing to fall back on. If we want our education system to improve we need better teachers.  Teachers need to be able to make all subjects interesting and be able to keep all kids engaged. I personally believe if a student is smart enough to move on no system should hold him back.  Yes this could bring a divide between students but this will keep all students engaged. This is how we can improve our educational system. Not by letting students choose but by having teachers who can engage a wide variety of students effectively.
