A1 even younger Ss are starting to hate school where I work, sat in a 3 hour behavior meeting, 6 year old HATES school #edtechafterdark

EdTechMason Dec 5 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1: Older students hate that school doesn't mirror the rest of their lives. #edtechafterdark

RPiersonEdu Dec 5 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1: How often are they given the chance to truly be creative with their work? Passions don't play in to their courses. #EdTechAfterDark

danvkoch - Moderator Dec 5 @ 10:06 PM EST

A1: Because we've tried 2 retcon 19th century pedagogy into 21st century classrooms. Ss learn how 2 "do school." #edtechafterdark

A1 Pearson's fault #EdTechAfterDark

A1: I think as students move into testing grades they become jaded because they feel Ts care more about scores than the Ss..#edtechafterdark

jaballin14 Dec 5 @ 10:07 PM EST

A1: Somewhere as they get older boredom sets in as they fail to see the relevancy on what they learn. Ss don't see the why. #edtechafterdark

A1(contd): Also has a lot 2 do w/very little output changing. So much talk of blended learning, etc, but same old tests #edtechafterdark
