Women Who Inspire Us

Yes. Nowadays we are offered wide access to education so clearly this education system is getting better in some places but getting lesser respect in many ways. 

I think they get more.But less in repect in everyway. 

It's a difficult choice... I think kids have more possibilities and information because of technology but the social interaction is less and less. Bulling has increased and kids feel overwhelmed in school. Some thing have to change soon. This education needs an overhaul to adapt to the new world.

NONONO  More maybe but less respect for life. Most kids today cant write know history. Have no respect for the people who started this nation.Also I think teachers get tooooo many freebies. Pharmacy no pay due, next $300.00 die. Hospitals same. Too much for not teaching the real life story.

I believe they are. My son is in the first grade and doing it virtually and he's able to do a lot more than I did when I was his age. With all the technology we have he's able to learn on his own without his teacher. 

No! Definitely not! For starters, Common Core is a joke! History class has become overly fixated on the Holocaust and demonizes the German people. The integration of technology into the classroom has added a whole new set of problems; giving children crappy Chrome books and mandating they do their work on those is total bs. Not to mention the invasion of privacy on the school owned devices. I'm also sick of schools preaching that children have to accept everyone, and seem to forget freedom of religion. Don't teach my child that there's more than two genders or that two mommies or two daddies are OK. These subjects are not appropriate for school.

I can't say yes/no to this question because ten years ago we didn't have the same technologies that we had today. Those technologies help us in a positive and negative way. For example with the news technologies we can learn everywhere without having to be precisely in a class.  However,  some technology such as the Ipad have replaced many things such as writing on notebook. This answer is related to the news technologies that teachers implement in some schools. I do not generalize. 

I do think our country is getting a better education now than 10 years ago. It is hard to go to school beyond high school because college is so expensive and yes you can get loans etc but to pay those back can be hard. 

I don't have children in school yet however I do have niece's and nephew's that are school age and I believe they are getting a much better education now then 10 years ago.

Absolutely they are getting a much better education now than they were 10 years ago! Many schools now acknowledge, accept, and encourage that not all children learn the same, and make accommodations for each child. The usage of technology in the classroom has multiplied exponentially, to the benefit of every child. They are teaching several different methods to solve problems, as well as critical thinking skills. 

As an educator, I believe the students are getting an excellent education.  The technology they are taught is astounding!

I believe the style of teaching has changed due to electronics. Hence, more of a opportunity to explore more information at fingertips. However, the style 10 years ago would be more hands on help from teacher. ie; cursive handwriting, math techniques to remember certain rules before moving foward and any other hand on example. I believe 10 years ago has more of effect to stay embedded because of the quality of time spent going over material.

I would like to say that for sure our children are getting advanced education, but when it comes to better than that's something we are yet lacking. our schools are still not progressive and still to this day mental health and issues related to it are not taught to our children. schools are now more than ever burdening the kids with textbook work there is no character building going on.

I think they are getting a better education now, but the dynamics have changed and we may not necessarily see the effects because of changes in technology, education policies, living circumstances, the availability of options and so on. A better education should naturallly translate to better living conditions all round, improved decision making and solutions for the less fortunate, a reduction in crime and unemployment, as well as poverty figures- but this is not necessarily the case.
