The kids.My children are homeschooled because the public system was failing them.My 8th grader can explain the fall of the Roman empire,and flow thru algebra 1.13yr old can read an electric and gas meter.my 5 yr old can tell me where China is and recognize Washington and Lincoln.The 8th grader thinks the U.S. may be headed the same route as The roman empire because of finances and war.5 yr old dosen't like the way Ramses ruled.\nWhat does a stem+leaf plot have to do with basic business finances?Teachers are getting paid to serve the kids,let them.Let the parents have more freedoms with education.

The right to an education should be enough.  Maybe you should be asking "What are students' responsibilities?"

Yes.  We need to make sure the kids are learning, and are employable, or at least ready for the next step.

Definitely the future, sometime when war, crime and famine are no longer an issue.  And skycars, yeah, we gots to have skycars :-) they are long overdue!!!

Most importantly, you would need excellent, perceptive teachers who are willing to make themselves available to their students in a one-on-one situation.  This gives the students the opportunity to share their concerns, ambitions, etc., with their teachers; and it can provide the teacher with greater insights, as to the students' needs.\n\nThe ideal school should also have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, but the teachers are the most important resource for optimum learning.

Well, perhaps that's where the world is going. Nowadays teachers not only have to teach, but according to the government take over teaching values, respect, sex education, handling money & social skills. Perhaps they are now expected to do the learning for the students too?!? Hmmmm, interesting thought....

There is no amouint of money that can sufficiently pay those who mold the thinking and lives of the future ... think about it ... teachers show the way to those who become the future parents, doctors, police, judges, scientists, world leaders, etc.\n\nAnyone out there who doesn't understand the value of the work of a teacher after reading the previous posts, please go to the site I've attached and read "Three Letters from Teddy".  They say it all!

Go to college to be a teacher. Teach computers. Teachers are badly needed. And you will have a 20 year career at least.

I would start by taking a GOOD look at our education system. It is failing. Europeans are ahead of us so are many others. If we do not cultivate the kids who will run our country down the line? more idiots. Other issues bug me but education would be my number one.

Hopefully, teaching these subjects will help us deal with the future.  Maybe we won't make the same mistake twice.  Another reason is perhaps that the children will learn from those who shaped our world as we know it today. (such as Ben Franklin, Alexander the Great, and Bill Gates for example)  Mybe it will also get the younger (and quite unenthused) generations creative juices flowing.

I'd introduce a degree in people learning to actually work together not just in finance, but in human potential,  in peace , in agriculture, in medicine and in health and social issues.\nI'd call it a degree on being human.\n\nMany might say this is a liberal arts degree but it'd be much more than that.  It'd include personal and community experience as well as academic subjects and ' spiritual' understanding about all religions  and their commonalities.

Day by day attraction towards professional courses are increasing.  Likewise the fee structure of the colleges are also in a steep increasing trend.  I think studying thro' colleges will disappear in the next ten years as computer and net educations are growing fastly.

That's very unlikely. In fact it will be sad if such attempts are made. In any society, teachers play an important role in the way the society shapes up. Education is not just about knowing Maths, Science, History, Geography, etc. It is primarily about what values and ethics do you build your foundation upon, knowing to differentiate between right and wrong, having a broad and open perspective. \nIt would indeed be a gr ea loss for kids if they are deprived of the basic education which nurtures their development.\nHaving said that, I think technology is a great tool to aid teaching, spread information and help understand concepts through audio-visual means. However technology cannot and must not replace humans.

Education and ignorance stands together. When a human being getting old, then she/he learned much but the sorrunding also getting old to them. So, we need to make youthfulness on education where we will invest our time for being a educator ourselves. Education for all will make the happened. Keep your hand for UN.

There are a number of universities that already have completely online programs-- all the way from Associates' to Doctorate. There are also virtual high schools in a number of states. However, I don't foresee early education becoming a cyber environment, except for a homeschooling minority. The need for socialization is too important at that level.
