Hello everyone, my name is Allison Gottselig. I am doing a project for a university class of mine that is looking into school as an institution and discovering the negative things that our school system inadvertently teaches. For my research I read a book by John Taylor Gatto, it’s called “Dumbing us Down”. Without going too much into it, he says one of the only ways to fix schools is to throw out the curriculum and ask “what do we want children to learn and why”. This is the focus of this survey. If you could answer these questions with the idea that you were given the opportunity to change schools, what would you change and why. I will be using this forum for my project but no names will be released, anyone who has this link can contribute, so please share with all, not just education students or teachers, everyone’s opinion is valued.
