My first C4T assignment was to write on OnlineSchools.ORG's Education Debate. The post was titled "Is Success Really About Failure?" by Michelle Luce. I summed this post up to say that everyone needs a little failure and disappointment in their life to become successful. Without failure, you will never strive harder to succeed. Giving everyone credit or rewards is not fair for those who work hard to stand out and be the best. We have to allow our students/our own children, to experience difficulty and failure in order to go far in the future.
The next assignment was a post by Elise Morrigan titled "Online Schools: Where Parents Become the Teachers". It is a program that is kind of similar to our online college courses, but for grade school students. It is kind of like homeschooling, but the difference is that there is an actual teacher that calls and interacts with the student. Students will get out of the schooling as much as they put into it. If they fail to do well then they will not pass. The parents are the teachers at home that help the student to do well and finish their work. I think that this form of schooling is a good idea.
