COLLEGE STUDENTS LACK MATH, WRITING SKILLS 55% ARE TAKING REMEDIAL CLASSES AFTER ENTERING SCHOOLS IN FLORIDA; DOCKERY LOOKS TO ROOTS FOR SUPPORT

Abstract (Document Summary)
"What we have realized is that the skills we expect students to learn over the years have significantly diminished," [Michael Richmond] said. "The writing has plummeted. We're having problems with students who can't structure an essay or do a proper outline."
Amanda Sospizio, 18, graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2009. She's spending her first year at Palm Beach State College taking remedial math and reading classes. She earns no credit for them, meaning her college graduation is likely delayed at least a year. "It's upsetting," she said. "I'm in college. I want to be learning college material."
"There's a fear of mathematics that has been deemed acceptable in this country," said Deronn Bowen, an assistant professor of math who teaches remedial classes. "In this country, if you say, 'I don't know how to add those fractions, the uniform response is, 'I don't know either.' "

Beyond Memorization: Give 21st Century Students Time to Understand
We can all agree that it is important for students to graduate from high school. However, what happens when “graduating” from high school does not necessarily represent an understanding of the basic skills needed in college and the workplace? According to the Sun-Sentinel, more than half of the students entering public colleges and universities in Florida need remedial classes in math, reading, and writing prior to starting their college classes. The problem is NOT the amount of money we are putting into our public schools; rather, the structure and curriculum of public education needs reform. Memorizing information for the FCAT or College Placement Test is not going to equip students with the skills needed for the 21st century.
Students need to learn to analyze, understand, and explain rather than memorize, recite, and regurgitate facts and information. A student cannot be expected to master division if he or she does not know what dividing numbers truly means. Subjects—particularly reading and math—need to be taught on a student’s individual timeframe. Learning should be measured against each student’s past markers of progress. We must enable students to learn at varying rates so they come to understand and analyze information in a way that is useful and accessible both to them personally and for the 21st century.
We must change our expectations about time and make conceptual understanding (not wrote repetition) our first priority.

(In teaching, it is sometimes better to throw a lot of things to students instead of just one "bullet"...)
Americans have long been told that the problem with their schools is insufficient funding ... however, the US consistently ranks among the highest-spending nations on education, yet it fares poorly in comparisons of international academic achievement. The fact is that some schools are much more efficient in their use of financial resources than others. Unfortunately, any discussion of efficiency has long been viewed with hostility in public education circles.” Steven Wilson, Learning on the Job.
In many non-profit organizations, there are few incentives to control costs. In a competitive for-profit system, there is a constant effort to make the right decisions and raise the levels of success, while controlling cost. Success in business isn’t just a matter of funding. It’s an attitude of relentless striving to do things better and more efficiently rather than accept the status quo. The same applies to for-profit schools.
Some schools pursue unconventional methods. They test students for what they know and try to bring them up to where they should be to join a regular class. They do not organize classes by age. This requires the school to amass and update test data on each student... --- quoting an ad for SABIS, a for-profit system founded by Leila Saad and Ralph Bistany (SA-ad BIS-tany).
"In the US, people fail to look at how money is being spent on education and it is assumed that the more money is spent, the more kids will benefit. There is a disconnect between the decision maker and his wallet. The minute a decision maker does not have to suffer from his decisions, things go wrong,” says Bistany.

"an independent ethos"
A school that is successful has a sense of its own identify. It has an independent ethos. It’s not just a school that you go to. The name means something. When you name the school, it conjures up an ethos of something that you feel pride in. Tony Blair, speech to Center for American Progress, 2009
We need to make education about the whole person and the whole community.. (minute 3:16)

Involvement of Parents
minute 5:10 -- Parents need to be engaged and challenged. Parents need to be part of the school community, being talked to, helping, understanding where they’ve got to step up to the mark.

Sonnet 99 The forward violet thus did I chide
The forward violet thus did I chide:
Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells,
If not from my love's breath? The purple pride
Which on thy soft cheek for complexion dwells
In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dyed.
The lily I condemned for thy hand,
And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair:
The roses fearfully on thorns did stand,
One blushing shame, another white despair;
A third, nor red nor white, had stol'n of both
And to his robbery had annex'd thy breath;
But, for his theft, in pride of all his growth
A vengeful canker eat him up to death.
More flowers I noted, yet I none could see
But sweet or colour it had stol'n from thee.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?
You hear something a lot about change: People won't change because they're too lazy. Well, I'm here to stick up for the lazy people. In fact, I want to argue that what looks like laziness is actually exhaustion. The proof comes from a psychology study that is absolutely fascinating.So picture this: Students come into a lab. It smells amazing—someone has just baked chocolate-chip cookies. On a table in front of them, there are two bowls. One has the fresh-baked cookies. The other has a bunch of radishes. Some of the students are asked to eat some cookies but no radishes. Others are told to eat radishes but no cookies, and while they sit there, nibbling on rabbit food, the researchers leave the room -- which is intended to tempt them and is frankly kind of sadistic. But in the study none of the radish-eaters slipped -- they showed admirable self-control. And meanwhile, it probably goes without saying that the people gorging on cookies didn't experience much ...

Niall Sclater asks two provocative questions (that teachers can ask their students):
Fed up being force-fed a whole lot of stuff of no great interest to you in your university’s virtual learning environment? Want to view only the parts of most relevance to your own learning? (N. Sclater,http://sclater.com/blog, 6 May 2011)
The key question is "Are you fed up with being force fed a whole lot of stuff of no great interest to you?"
That should be posted on walls of classrooms to remind students to ask teachers to improve their Personal Learning Environments. For more, visit Sclater's blog, Learning Innovation.

"I spent the entire first day working on a product that I loved. It was a moving moment." -- David Karp, creator of Tumblr
If I were teaching global skills, I would not show this in class... I'd assign it as optional homework and give a point to anyone who could quote one idea from the video.
The idea I got was that he knew he was on the right path because he closed a business before he strated tumblr. That's the mindset feature that John Naisbett points to in his book Mind Set! -- to move ahead, you have to turn something off. Before starting something, end something.
Before adding something, get rid of something.
Interesting. That's probably the hardest part of initiative.... (for me), to say goodbye to something in order to make room for something else.
