"Learning by doing", never ceases to be the best way to acquire knowledge and skills. I'm still learning every day by actually practicing my craft(s). I want my kid to get her hands dirty discovering things, making noise and getting her clothes dirty. I want her to have her own microscope at home and she had better be using one in the classroom. Standardized tests are a lazy way to measure success, we all know this. What's the best alternative? What should we be doing to ensure our education system is functioning in our future generations best interests?
