There is alway room for improvement, but education requires constant thoughtful observation and adjustments. When I talk to my sister who was a teacher, I am impressed about the deep thinking that went into adjusting the education of each of her students. I don't see technology helping this very much.

I think children learn more from peers than from books or teachers. If children are formed as groups so an older child is in charge of younger ones and younger ones are responsible for those under them and so on, knowledge transfer is both ways. Now older kids have to learn and be teachers to their younger students. It seems to be a better system.

Technology can help to cluster students appropriately so they learn and teach from each other. My 2c.

This can be true, and not true.

How students learn varies a lot more than many of us want to admit.

It is best to have a variety of means available, and multiple opportunities for students tonpresent how they learn.

It is human work. Reach the students, understand who they are, tease out what they can become...

Your sister is an increasingly rare bird.

So many lack time, resources, agency to do that.

Nearly all of the educators were able to do that for me. 70's 80's

I find the lack of agency, and standard, often teach to test, load shocking. Much reduced agency in many cases.
