voters want more from schools

In this article Americans are concerned about what is being taught at schools and don't think the United States are preparing students with the skills they will need in the future. By Dave, 2 cents worth. 80% of voters say the skills that are needed for the 21st century and the future are different then what they used to be 20 years ago. New things that voters think should be taught more are critical thinking and problem solving. I think that everything should be taught and not just a couple things because in the past we had to use everything we knew and in the future we will have to use everything we know. Some of the things are science, math, problem solving, English, etc. Everything is used in this world and that's why we have it. In the future we will need all the skills we can learn even though they seem like they're not useful. Every skill plays it's part in the world. Students are the future and they should know everything they can. http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2007/10/12/voters-want-more-from-schools/
