I agree we need to reform our schools but Kanye West definitely doesn't have the right answers there.

and what is that like 50 tweets in the last hour??

I used to respect Kanye West but the more fame he's gotten the more attention he craves.

Just reading a bunch of them now, no matter how you look at this/how your feel about him, you have to respect his drive and motivation and creativity. Hes always on his grind, like if you read/watch about the making of the MBDTF album, dudes a machine. I cant wait til he puts out a book, legit.

Seriously. I know he has a lot of haters, Im definitely not one. Dude loves every minute of everything he does and pours his heart and soul into it. Hes just a little introverted sometimes and doesnt think about how it effects others.

no, pretty sure it's the real world. driving italian cars, living in mansions, and banging models is real world. It's not like he is riding unicorns, living in mordor, and banging mermaids. and if you read his twitter novel last night, you'd realize that he does have worries and cares. He is self-financing a high fashion label, starting a think-tank, had an internship two years ago, etc. He wants to reform the education system (albeit in a very strange way, but still... he cares for the plight of the common man)

He honestly has no idea what hes talking about though. The reason we are falling behind so much is due to the lack of math and science focus in schools. But instead wants kids to using phones for answers, and learn basic arithmetic? Hes basically saying, hey lets use a crutch to help ourselves along, and limit our knowledge

Now that he has attained "the American Dream", it's okay to shit on him for not being in "the real world"? Oh God, my sides.

I learned more for calc 2 in a 12 hour session on google and WA than I did over the course of an entire semester of twice a week 3 hour lectures.. the internet is the answer, semester long courses of listening to a prof ramble are outdated.

You need less standardized testing and more freedom for schools and teachers. As for Kanye's thoughts, they're just on the border of being absolutely insane or sparks of genius, but they're still thoughts. It's not like he's the Minister of Education.

Yup standardized testing is basically whats wrong with our schools. I can't remember what its called but its a report or book or something that compares public school with standardized testing, to rich schools that have their own custom curriculum. It's pretty damn interesting, and shows how the odds are stacked up against children that want to achieve a higher social class. Basically it shows the american dream is pretty non-existent.

The flaw with just googling answers is that in the end you will not truly know about the subject. In the end there will not be much new technology and innovation in those fields. People don't just google new ideas. They build it from the knowledge they know.

I'd say open book tests are much harder to perfect than regular tests, as well as home tests. At least from my experience, the grading has always been much harsher when you have all the answers in your hands instead of jamming them in your brain the previous day (I believe this is how most people study for tests... during the last possible moments).

Kanye is the man. How can you hate on someone who is using their wealth and connections to try and help others?

I mean this in no disrespect, but honestly how can you say his music is fucking horrible?

He is no way my favorite artist, but shit like Gone, Through the Wire, We Dont Care, Hey Mama are amazing.

IF you'd read my earlier post, you'd understand his point. Give a huge are for a test, tell them kids "the world's your oyster" when it comes to information search and be very harsh with the grading.

Free tests are innovative, they work and produce good results. It will give "slower" kids and people with more challenging learning paths a better chance to prove themselves than cramming for a standardized test.

Actually...I let my kids use their iPhones/phones in class. They work great with pollanywhere.com by putting up questions and allowing the kids to vote which one they think is correct. It is a lot cheaper than clickers.

Not going to lie, some of my kids dont even use their textbook.
