Why do we teach for my past and not our childrens future. That is my big question today. Why am I still teaching the same courses I took as a child. Has the world not changed... Have we not changed our job outlooks... Are we not the new generation of learners... if so why are we in education stagnate state. Yes we change and update curriculum. Yes we have cutting edge grading and assessing and tech but have we really changed. 30 years ago I had a choice of 3 levels of math and english, socials and 3 sciences. Now today I teach the next generation the same courses.. Great but the job world changed. I am not producing the same employment force. The jobs I started out with dont exist. Gone are the days of many restaurant workers, now we have ordering kiosks instead. So I asked my grade 12 calculus class this question..what job will your children get as they go through school..We all thought long about this one. Really the part time jobs ...
