RE: Are You the Gatekeeper? I'm the Keymaster.
I have seen the classroom and the general education system change so much over the years and, for the most part, not for the better in my opinion. Critical thinking is missing as well as independent thought and creativity.
Agreed. Each semester, I find myself trying to "deprogram" many of my students who are fresh out of high school. They spend so long drilling for standardized tests that they struggle to develop coherent original thoughts.
