<p>I have always believed in a farm style middle school. Lots of projects, putting up fences, slopping the hogs, collecting the eggs, planting and canning and tying it all in to a little bit of academics including reading.</p>
<p>That said, I don’t agree with the european style of education. I have seen it up close and it is very rigid compared to the U.S. style that allows for growth and change and livelong learning. Interesting, the U.S. style is being adopted in places like Scotland…</p>
<p>The key is knowing that we as humans will be learning and changing for our entire existence or should be. The system should be set up to accommodate all ages of learners.</p>
