School (including university) should not be viewed by teachers or students as primarily a place to learn how to do a job.<br /><br />Give students a toolbox of basic knowledge in core areas (language and communication, math, science). Teach them about themselves and their place in the world (history and philosophy). <br /><br />Give them the opportunity to be creative and come up with new ideas (perhaps the most important). <br /><br />Make sure they have the chance to dive into subjects that are interesting to them. Model the importance of learning as something that is fun and should always be a part of an active life. <br /><br />Do NOT teach them how to do a particular job. That job probably won't exist 15 years from now anyway.rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030993055462108323noreply@blogger.com
