Why are we not teaching electricity creation and concepts, and coding programming methods in all our Grade Schools? Please don’t reply with the usual poor excuses as the question is rhetorically asked as an introduction to this teaching concern.
What does this teaching lack bode for their future to compete in an increasingly fast paced high tech world? How about their and our short term future? Our people’s skills must be always, and quickly, updated to keep up with and to create the new technologies used and wanted by the world of us.
Their world is full of electricity, and electrically powered and programmed devices. They will more easily fit into their world if they are given an early introduction into understanding as many of their world relevant subjects as thoroughly and quickly as they can. As technology progresses the skills for the new technologies should be taught to all our children and the necessary equipment for study and experimentation should be made available to them as soon as possible, considering copyright and other protection concerns. An example is to also now include light fiber laser manipulation methodologies and the generally understood light frequency reflection and passing theories that have been used in mass communications delivery for many years now, to further relate and make relevant their education to their world of now and the future.
It would also be smart to teach money management extremely early, as this is a very important skill requirement needed for a better chance of success in their personal and business lives. An easier way for most people to learn math, or other subjects, is by applying the teaching to real life needs and interests so the learners will have an easier way of grasping the concepts through association usage. Even in school new technologies or concepts can emerge as various types of thinkers are introduced to greater amounts of the knowledge we currently have, and even the very young can have a leap in understanding that will usher in the wonders of the future.
Do we want our schooling of our children to be relevant to give them a better chance to have a decent and successful life? The more they know about their environment, and that includes the financial needs and technology in their environment, the better chance they’ll have to survive in and contribute to their society. We should prepare them so they will be able to move more freely between the many employment changes they will have to address during their lives as they strive to be more valuable employees and contribute to their society.
We need for our children to receive the best education we can think of so they can invent and produce the technologies of the future, and so they can better ensure the continued viability of our communities by their success.
