"Future School"

For such a small article, I disagree with so much.

• "Why is everything massified in the system, rather than individualized in the system?"

Am I the only one that see's this idea to basically be impossible? It would take so much more time and money to individualize everything for every student. Sure it sounds like an interesting idea, but kids change their minds all of the time. Aren't teachers under enough stress to begin with, let alone have to teach certain things of certain interest to certain students when they can just change their minds over night?

• "Toddlers School of the Future"

Open 24 hours?? What five year old is going to want to go to school at 3 in the morning? What exhausted parent is going to want to take their child to school at 3 in the morning? Extending the hours is one thing and I am sure a beneficial one for many families, but 24 hours sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

• "If you want kids to really learn, they've got to love something"

Well of course! I couldn't agree with that more. But the point of children going to school is to be exposed to a number of different subjects. How are they going to know what they "love" before learning anything?

• "Why should kids arrive at the same time and leave at the same time?"

Granted many of us college students prefer early morning, late afternoon or even evening classes, we have been able to determine what time of people we are based on the discipline and routines we lived by for years before coming to college. Having a set schedule requires discipline, rules, and regulations. I think breaking these categories would be a huge mistake.
