I think the high school day should not start later. If the day starts later, then we just get home later too. We will have less time to do homework and other after school activities. Many students get at least 6 hours of homework.

I believe that technology gets in the way of learning. Technology is a distraction to many students. While
I think we give too many trophies to kids. In many sports, we give kids trophies for just participating. At the end of the season, every player gets a trophy or ribbon for showing up. I think this teaches kids that they will get rewarded for not doing any work. This does not help kids self esteem in the future when they won't get rewarded for what they do.
Trophies should reward people for doing the above and beyond. If kids know they they get a shiny trophy at the end for doing a great job, then this will make hem want to work harder. If every kid worked hard then they will work harder in the future because they were doing it all their childhood. All in all, we do give children too many trophies. I prefer paper books. To me there is no debate between to which one I would choose. It is easier for me to read on the paper books. Also, I like the feeling of flipping the pages. It is easier for my eyes to read on paper and not on a screen.
Ebooks are difficult to flip the pages. When you read, you don't get the same feeling that you do with paper books. It may be easier to travel with ebooks, but it is more of a hassle to download the book you want to read. When you go to the library, you have all the books that are available to you. Im my opinion, paper books are better. I have a digital portfolio and I don't find it as an advantage to learning. A digital portfolio requires constant uploading to add your current project. They need to be constantly saved in many different formats for people to see it. You can't bring the link to your website to an interview. They still require a paper copy with you, even if you sent an electronic version before hand.
Older projects can only be on there for a short period of time until a new project takes over. Once the time for the project is over, it is no longer viable to what you have. There is no way that you will know if the person you are sharing it with will be compatible with technology. There are many disadvantages to digital portfolios and those are just a few. |
