I think that the time of the traditional school system is over. I recently watched a video material about schools in Finlad. I was thrilled at how incredible their system is.For example younger students don't get evaluated and they are able to use smartphones in class but only for educational purposes. Gouverments have a lot to learn from their collegue from Finland.
a nephew of mine goes to a school where they have no pen and paper everything is done on iPads, as a educational experiment.. I member being of an age my school decided to experiment stop teaching us the parrot fashion times table.. and gave as all calculators as they predicted that they would be cheap enough and good enough in the future to not need to teach basic maths.. after my generation were schooled with calculators they moved back to the old traditional forms. Im pretty sure.. this iPad experiment at my nephews school will quietly die and be brushed under the carpet as a mistake.
