Education and Future

Looking for some  articles about Education I found one which is very interesting for me. The article "What are you really learning at school?" by Holly Epstein Ojalvo talks about child development, skills which children need to be succeeded and the culture of testing.

According to the author, experts believe that the culture of testing is inhibiting the development of children's life skills. They think that good grades at school means that children are not developing skills that they need to have future success in their lives like motivation, self-control, focus and resilience.
Dr. Ginsburg said that teachers need to teach children that there is difference between easy and difficult subjects and this may help them on their goals and interests. Subjects that they like can help them to focus in their careers.
I think that teachers still focus on students' good grades and sometimes they forget that students need to be prepared to the lives and their career. On the other hands, I think that children need to be evaluated in some way and they need to be encouraged to study even to the test. Children usually don't like to study, so they need to be encouraged. Thus, teachers want to find a teaching methodology which attracts the attention of the student and helps them to develop their life skills to be succeeded in the future.
