Chapter 4 education Nation

Education is everchanging, even more so now then ever. With the internet almost all things are possible these days. The classroom doesn'nt just consist of four walls and a teacher at the front of the class anymore. Now there is online schooling and oppurtunities to learn that we're never possible before. Now instead of learning about the Mississippi River in a textbook students ca actually go on experience it first hand. By being right there in nature, seeing for themselves all they will need to know about this historical landmark. Through technology we are also controling our students behavior. For example in this chapter it talks about how a school from Arizona made their busses wifi compatible. Since students spent so much time every day on a bus, why not let them use that time wisely. Most the time on the bus kids we're just getting themselves into trouble anyways. So insetad of troublemaking, wifi has created a suitable study hall outside of the classroom. I love this idea and I think it's a great idea for all school buses to have this. If it's going to tune down the bad behavior and encourage students to use time wisely by doing homework then why not? i see nothing wrong with this, and i dont think many parents would be objecting. Not to mention if  a student says they didnt get their homework done because of the long bus ride, you could just say well did'nt you use your time wisely? It's a win, win. Students get their work done and have the resources to do so, even if they don't have the resources at home. This chapter also talks about the growing risk of obesity in our young children, with this student and nature based learning we can hopefully put a stop to this rising problem. By getting kids out of the classroom and out in the world walking, talking, exploring, and learning new things we can put an end to this pandemic. I think, It's a great idea and i wish they would have had stuff like this when I was a kid. The best thing about school was the feildtrips, why not make it a regular thing for the classrooms. Why only have them a few times a year why not once a month, or every other week. Any oppurtunity to go out inot the real world and learn things they can't learn inside of their classroom. I know for me thats when I always had the most outcome with learning, was when I was hands on and enjoying what we were doing. I wasn;t afraid to ask questions and our teachers always made it fun to learn the lesson. As a student you don't feel the pressure of the classroom when you ask questions or enjoy what it is you're learning.
