[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard somewhere that people with a high school diploma are more successful than people with a GED, because a high school diploma requires more skills like completing long-term tasks and organization. It’s not all about what a kid knows. Instead of getting rid of grading that requires skills beyond content knowledge, they should actually teach those skills. Kids in other areas have study skills classes. My nephew loved his and my SIL says that the class has been instrumental in his success in school. Just my two cents.[/quote] I think that would be a good idea. They don't seem to teach students how to take notes or how to study anymore. That's not something that most kids just innately "know." If these skills aren't going to be taught in individual classes, perhaps a specific "course" should be mandatory.[/quote]
