What: I believe that the main change needed in the school system is curriculum that demands and teaches critical and analytical thought.
Who: My audience would be anybody involved in education--the people affected by it and those with the powers to change the system
What: These individuals should be interested in it because for educators, it involves what they will be teaching and what their students will be taught, for parents because it involves their children and for administrators because it affects future generations and current processes.

Gains:
  • More world ready children with complex thinking abilities
  • Employees who can think on their own and function independently
  • Indviduals more ready for creative exploits

  • Teachers will need to adjust to a new mode of teaching
Answers:

  • Many of the complaints about the school system come from current or retired teachers themselves. If the change works, teachers will likely have no qualms about the shift
