Education Question and Answer

All the secretary’s of Education had good answers and were well prepared for every question thrown at them. Guests like Mr.Dirks and Mr.Harrington challenged them with hard questions that made them think about what there plan is for the future. Charles Skidmore, part of the Nolan Eyring campaign, had strong answers regarding the education policies. Charles made a good point when asked how do plan to evaluate that the students are learning ? He said he want s a participatory method of setting measurable goals based on the specific assignment or class being taken. He also doesn't want to keep implementing the use of the common core because he feels that it is not letting the students “obtain the information they are learning throughout the school year. Lauren Gemma, part of the Burns krull campaign , looked the most prepared for every question given to her. She was always the first to answer the tough questions for Mr. Dirks and Mr. Harrington which made her look better then the other candidates. Lauren plans to keep the common core as a national standard but she wants to change the whole idea of it. Some of her ideas include introducing the common core to younger students to allow a better transition. Elsie Garcia, part of the Brooks Keafer campaign, had strong responses just like her fellow secretaries of education. Garcia feels strongly that the common core is good for some people but has major issues. She thinks that the common core takes away from the teachers because now they have to teach more based to the test instead of learning the actual material. Sebastian Farias, part of the Saffioti Mumolo campaign, thinks that we should get rid of the common core all together so teachers can use their own teaching styles. He also thinks we should stay away from the common core because not every student has the ability to reach there standards by the same means. He explains that some people might need modified versions of tests which the common core doesn't allow. All the secretaries of education felt that a big part of improving education was lowering the high school dropout rate.
