I will answer this by pasting an article. I beleive its the best way:\n\nFOR a very long time, our society has been plagued by different kinds of maladies like discrimination, exploitation, oppression and poverty. Because of this, several solutions have been made and offered in order to eradicate or, at least, alleviate them, but only one has been proven and tested to be the most effective - education. \n\nSarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former president of India (elected in 1962), believed that education possessed the power to alleviate all maladies affecting our society. "Education," he opined, "is the process of giving the individual, knowledge and skills which he should apply in his life."\n\nIn his remarks to the National Assembly of Lesotho in Maseru, dated 28 August 2002, UN secretary general Kofi Annan had this to say: "One of the prerequisites to fighting poverty in the long term, as study after has shown, lies in education. We know that in the course of the past century, countries committed to universal primary education - for boys and girls - far more successful in escaping poverty. They have enabled their people to lead more fulfilled, productive lives. They have given their people the chance to make better use of democratic opportunities." \n\nIn school, as well as in our very homes, we have learned that, in life, there are three (3) basic necessities for survival, to wit: food, clothing, and shelter. To these three, we may add education as the fourth. \n\nObserving the same view, Georges J. Danton, French revolutionary leader (1759-94), said more than two (2) centuries ago: "After bread, education." \n\nFor his part, Oscar Arias, in his speech during the annual conference of the Global Alliance for Transnational Educate (Gate) held in San Josi, Costa Rica, dated 08 October 2001, emphasized: "Education is the most basic necessity after those that are vital to life itself - food, clothing and shelter. It is education that lifts people out of chronic poverty in which they are constantly struggling to fulfil basic needs like these." \n\nIndeed, there is a direct link that connects lack of educational opportunities and poverty, and this has been shown many times over. \n\nDuring the "War on Poverty" in the 1960s, Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th US president (1963-1969), said poverty has many roots, but the tap root is ignorance. \n\nOn the other hand, while speaking on the occasion of the "World Literacy Day," dated 08 September 1999, James D. Wolfenson, World Bank president, said: "Literacy is pivotal to human progress. All agree that the single most important key to development and poverty alleviation is education. Adult education, literacy and lifelong learning must be combined with the fundamental recognition that education of women and girls is central to development." \n\nThis link holds true for the other forms of maladies affecting our society. This is so, because, aside from being the most effective solution to poverty, education also plays a very crucial role in strengthening the very foundation of the protective walls surrounding the halls of democracy and liberty. It protects and defends the weak from the abusive hands of some individuals or families who sits on the throne of power and wealth. \n\nQuoting former Indian President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan once again, he said: "Education should be liberating and life giving." \n\nJohn Adams, the first vice president (1789-97) and the second (2nd) president (1797-1801) of the US said liberty could not be preserved without general knowledge among the people. \n\nEchoing the same sentiment, John F. Kennedy, the 35th US president (1961-63), said liberty without learning is always in peril, and learning without liberty is always in vain. \n\nIn this connection, the words of Walter Lippman, a political commentator, are also enlightening. He said no amount of charters, direct primaries,

According to studies, the top educational system is Finland's, whose students scored the highest in reading, math, and science tests.  They also have an amazingly high literacy rate.\n\nOther high-ranking countries:\nMath: South Korea, Canada, Hong Kong/China, the Netherlands, Macao, and Liechtenstein\n\nReading: South Korea, Canada, Australia, and Liechtenstein\n\nScience: Japan, Hong Kong/China, South Korea, Liechtenstein, Australia, and Macao

Technology.\n\nIronic that something that was created to quickly access knowledge in a convenient way has served to take away from learning as well.\n\nLet me explain....\n\nOur students have been experiencing ADD in higher numbers. One finding in research is that we have become a "push button" society. Children are "plugged in" and "unplugged" numerous times during a day. At one time it was the fault of a "remote control" of a tv that allowed people to surf through numerous channels looking for the right show to stimulate their needs. Now let's not only add the TV to the picture but include the internet. They may have four or five windows open jumping from email to answers to a game to chat site back to their homework. If one doesn't give them the stimuation needed they hop to another and to another. Click to this and back to that.......get bored.....move to next window.\n\nIn addition, students have lost the art of using books for research. They "google" or use wikipedia and rely on answers fed to them from sites that aren't always as reliable as documented print in books. Oh sure.....there are many wonderful sites out there too. Don't get me wrong. But it is not enough to just "google." Students really need to master researching skills and technology has enabled quick access but at a price of accuracy. \n\nWriting is suffering as well. Students are found writing papers in "chatonese." For example:\n\n"This book is the one 4 u! It is so hilarious that I was lol. J/K!" \n\nTeachers can teach writing in brilliant forms. However, if students continually chat on the net in chat speak, it becomes a habit that is hard to break in school.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing! But I fear that learning has become "easier" for children. Part of the learning process is taking responsibility for your learning rather than expecting an answer to be fed to you via the net. I'm very anxious about seeing where technology will progress positively in the class room.

Education technique and tools in Philippines are way behind from other countries like U.S, etc. The effectivity is not enough supply for the future generation because of lack of high technology. Teachers are not knowledgeable enough to discuss about new technologies and their usage because no enough tools to learn about.

Well... I suppose you refer to education school wise vs. at home. I am not sure about how it's going in the States. Here in Spain, it's been turned into a disaster. The new trend is to have everyone move at the pace of the slowest person, so if average reading age is 5, and the slowest kid learns at 7, then everyone has to learn at 7. If you don't pass subjects, you don't have to repeat the whole year as it used to be...you just move on so that some other facts that you will never learn can be piled on you. I guess mental discipline is not in fashion, as it's considered discriminatory. I'm sorry to say this, but the new ways with education are a bunch of crap. \nIf you are asking about education at home (manners and so on), I think parents are generally afraid to punish their kids as if being a child gave them some semi-divine shine that can't be touched. I believe kids need discipline, routine and order to develop correctly: rules help them know what to expect and become nice, charming people. Kids are not charming just because they are kids...more of the opposite. Please train your kids to turn into reasonable decent, bearable people!

Isn't ANYTHING taught in schools anymore?

Most schools are now using data from all three (out of a total 2400).\n\nHowever, since statistics take a while to gather, some are still using the old system, which only encompasses reading and math (for a total 1600).\n\n1300 would be a pretty low score for the new system, so I would assume it was from the old one.

Go back to the old fashioned way of teaching reading, writing and arithmetic.  Kids today don't have the basic skills when they graduate....

Modern education hampers original thinking because teachers have to teach to standardized tests.  They are only feeding our kids what they need in order to pass the tests.  They have no more time left for higher level thinking.  It is a tragedy!

I found this on this website;  http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/Students/j-lin3/homework/vision.html\n\nVision of Year 2020 in Education\n\nOne of my friends once told me that she couldn't imagine the days that there will be no teacher, no school, but only computer at everyone's home. What she is worried about is that computer will substitute teacher's role, school, as a physical space, will disappear, and all the teachings will be delivered and conducted through network. \n\nIs this a dream or a nightmare? Is this technology called the fourth media going to join the rank of the big three - print, radio and television, as the means of human communication in the second millennium, as envisioned by Paul Bonnington (1995)? It is difficult to create an argument for/against it. Since networking is still in the rudimentary phase, it may be too early to tell how it affects our schooling system. However, we cann't deny that the information age is fast dawning on us. The rapid growth of advance technology has started to affect our working environment and our approach to learning in a fundamental way. \n\nIn my vision of education in year 2020, there will be more and more people increasingly incorporating this technology into their curriculum and research, or into the organization of their work, or into educational process. The boundary and/or barrier of communication will become increasingly blurred and a global informational village will gradually be formed. \n\nHere I present several perspectives of what our education may be like under the influence of change of technology in year 2020. \n\n1. More on-line programs offered by universities: For example, Standford university has started a certificate program on-line. It is a blessing for people around the world who would like to take it for the purpose of continuing education or other vocational trainings. And I believe that there will be more schools following her footstep. Education is not restricted to a certain place or a certain time anymore. Students can easily access to any site in the world for different purposes of learning or whatever. Such trend will also squeeze out smaller local colleges that has been serving the same purpose on site. \n\n2. Lifelong learning: In the information age, the computer illiterate may be difficult obtaining or maintaining job. For job security and, learning computer or attending on-line programs become indispensable to everyone. \n\n3. Incooperating technology into curriculum (for information searching, exchanging, and communicating, examining): There are a lot of projects or experiments demonstrating how incooperating technology into curriculum can effectively facilitate students' learning. In the year 2020 or beyond, such practice will not only become usual, it will become necessary! \n\n4. Globalization: Few decades ago, the invention and popularity of airplanes make it possible for every human to reach every corner of the world. However, flying usually takes many hours or even a day to get to the destination. Through the internet, only a couple of seconds are needed to take a visit to Australian government web site to understand her system and people. By the synchronous video conferencing, U.S. students can talk to the students in France for French learning. By IRC (Internet Real-Time Chat system), people from different countries can chat, make friends or learn their cultures. People may start to have deeper appreciation of multiculturalism. However, unfortunately such intense exchanges will also no doubt make the world more uniform. \n\n5. University professor will need to spend less time on classroom teaching and more time on research and communication. \n\n6. Internationally, language is always a barrier in cross-culture communication. Information network is going to speed up the adaptation of a single global language which is most likely English. In the process, some culture which has weaker voice in the internationally technolo

I don't think anybody learns anything in high school anymore. It's not really there to educate nowadays; it's just a system set in place to keep teenage kids from wandering the streets during the day - the government's way to try to cut down on vandalism and crime.
