Respond to colleague's work



I agree with Claire that the educational system needs reformed. We have become too traditional in the ways we teach. In the military we have mandatory classes we must attend and majority of them are boring PowerPoints reading slide after slide that will put you to sleep thus getting the nickname “death by PowerPoint”. At first I thought it was just a military teaching style but however I have recently discovered some civilian teachers also use this ineffective method. PowerPoints are a great teaching AID but are not meant to do the teachers job, so I agree 100% when Claire states “adding incentives for those teachers who are getting inventive with the way they communicate with their students”. Getting students involved and interested in their education is key to learning and developing critical thinking skills.
