Over the past 20 years, a lot has changed, especially with technology and new types of jobs. The internet and smartphones have changed how we do things. Now, we feel comfortable shopping online, even though we used to worry about credit card safety. Many things have changed, but schools and education have mostly stayed the same.
Schools try their best, but changing quickly is tough for them. It's not because of teachers or school districts. The problem is that making big changes in big schools takes a lot of time and money. Schools plan for many years ahead and can't always keep up as fast as technology does.
If we only depend on public schools for education, your children might lag behind. Technology changes rapidly, and schools need to be just as quick. Currently, America's schools are struggling to keep up. And who pays the price for this? Is it you or me? Probably not; it's your children.
There's an old teaching method that can help. It's called the "Practice and Feedback Method." It's especially good for kids between 9 and 12 years old. This method helps them learn how to think better instead of what to think, making smart decisions. After they learn to use this method, they get ahead because they gain more experience!
This teaching method has two main parts: repeating tasks and getting quick feedback. It's the perfect formula, right in front of us, to help kids learn quickly and prepare for the future. This is how you develop truly exceptional thinkers.
At Starter School, we teach younger kids, from 9 to 12, to think quickly and intelligently. As they grow older, we teach them business skills to expand their knowledge. This way, they're not just memorizing for tests; they're learning to use technology and think independently.
In short, it's important for education to change with the times. By using methods like Practice and Feedback and teaching useful skills like running a business, we can prepare kids for a future filled with technology.
