Classrooms of the Future will Teach Individuals

If you’ve got kids in the public school system, it’s likely that they are in overcrowded classes, with overworked and burned out teachers. Budgets are tight. Teachers are teaching the same way they’ve taught for years—new kids, same material. Standardized teaching and standardized testing--teaching all of the kids the same material the same way.

The challenge is that we all learn differently, and so do kids.  Some of us are better at math, some of us are better at English, some of us are better at science. We learn different things at different paces. Many parents are choosing to pull their kids from the struggling archaic public school system and put them into charter schools and even home schooling programs. Home schooled and charter school students get more individual attention and more individualized learning. Leaders in technology like Bill Gates are saying that individualized learning, and technology, will build the classrooms of the future.
