Learning should not be seen as a chore to avoid. That is how you create a-literates who learn the minimum then fight learning anything new the rest of their lives. They don’t even read for relaxation. More prevalent than illiterates.
Over the longer term, the American education system, that critical source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors. In 2012, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development tested half a million 15-year-olds worldwide. Those in Shanghai came in first in math and science, while those in Massachusetts, “a strong-performing U.S. state,” placed 20th in science and 27th in math. By 2015, America’s standing had declined to 25th in science and 39th in math.
But why, you might ask, should anybody care about a bunch of 15-year-olds with backpacks, braces, and attitude? Because by 2030, they will be the mid-career scientists and engineers determining whose computers survive a cyber attack, whose satellites evade a missile strike, and whose economy has the next best level of competence.
This is what was learned: The teacher was negligent in his supervision and the child and parents/guardians will sue the school for his injuries. It happens all the time folks, I get multiple cases across my desk every month.
I agree he didn’t learn anything. You are suppose to go as high as possible and then let go to fly through the air to go even higher. You are also not supposed to scream in panic. Landing can be brutal but you have the admiration of all the other kids.
