Whilst exploring through the available blogs that I am now presently subscribed to, I found one article that appealed to my likeness. It was titled “math in life” and was written by James H. In the article, James expresses his feelings towards current school curriculumes. He believes that the education that is thrust upon students of the modern world is not legitimate to what students will need to understand in order to survive in the world today. He also questions the applicability of this knowledge absorbed by the youth of today. James states: “Should we focus more math on applications like home mortgages, credit card interest, taxes and other things that you might not learn in school?”. From my personal perspective, I would agree with the message James is trying to convey. It would be more beneficial to pupils if only absolutely relevant (to surviving in the world) regions of education were incorporated into every day learning. This is so because the educational system, as a result of an institution of this form of education in it, would become much more efficient. Teachers would be excused from the practice of teaching unnecessary material which would result in more time to delve deeper into the necessary aspects of education. This would initiate a larger understanding of topics within the minds of students. The population of students in a specific region would benefit from this alteration, for, they would become, as a result, more prone to succeed in life if more understanding (on their part) (regarding areas in education that are necessary to understand in order to succeed in life) is achieved. This product can only be gained through the inscription of this alteration into the laws of educational conduct. On the world's stage, if this change was introduced to schools around the globe, more people in the world would be more ready for life in the actual world. That is because more people would be educated legitimately. Is that not what the world strives for as a product of its education?
