Before every important test, teacher Nancy Barajas dims the lights, turns on a disco ball and blasts music from her playlist. Her sixth graders dance together as a “pre-celebration” to boost their confidence, then take their exam.
Other countries still care about education. Stupid people are easier to control, hence why the US has been purposely abandoning their children. They import smart people from other countries as it’s easy to also rort the system if you’re looking for funding from wealthy investors, abusing staff due to the poor employee protections, weak environmental protections and easy access to corruption.
Excessive Technology for students to use in the classroom is directly linked to lower test scores.
Reasons:
School work like any job has boring and monotonous tasks: Chromebooks etc offer endless opportunity for kids to avoid doing their work. Games, videos, or just random browsing.
Different learning methods of different students: For many students the physical act of writing letters etc on paper or reading from a physical book helps, them retain information better than a screen.
Slower speed - When learning something going slower improves retention and accuracy. It forces the brain to process the information more completely rather than skimming.
“US kids”.
