Title: The Fun They Had
Author: Isaac Asimov
What are some of the positive aspects of school in 2157?
Some positive aspects include that learning is personalized and each student gets to study exactly how they learn best, at their own pace, in an ideal environment, and using personalized methods. There are three general categories of learners: visual (seeing), auditorial (hearing), and kinetic (physical). For example, I'm an auditorial learner so colourful images and making models doesn't help me much. This could also help guide you to your ideal career path.
What do you think would be some of the drawbacks or downsides to school in 2157?
The downsides include lack of socialization and too much freedom. School is the main place where children make friends and if we eliminate school we'd also be eliminating an opportunity to forge friendships. They would also lack the different perspectives of other students. As for too much freedom, the world isn't going to bend to suit you. You're going to have to do things that you don't like to please people that do you don't like for reasons that you don't understand. That's reality and this type of learning is a bit too lenient.
Which version of school do you think would be better? The version you have now, or the version Margie and Tommy have in 2157?
I think that the best option would be somewhere in between, a school where students can socialize and share opinions but forge their own curriculum meeting certain requirements. But if I had to choose one it would be the current version of school.
