Today in my Principles and Methods of Teaching Class, we talked about something that sort of blew my mind. (I took a picture of the thought in my notebook, since I think after yesterday, I've taken enough creepy classroom pictures for the week!)
Our professor pointed out that the kids who we'll be teaching will be starting kindergarten in 2013, graduating from high school as the class of 2025, and will be retiring in 2075. The main question of the class was, how can we prepare students for the world they'll be a part of when we have no idea what that world will be like? I had never really thought about it, but it's kind of a crazy thought.
