Just 36 hours later, I was pacing the scene itself, a place of educational and cultural hope reduced to a charred ruin, the remains of detonated attackers still visible.
Despite a strong consensus among scientists and educators on the need for change, the pace of broad educational reform has been frustratingly slow (Wieman et al., 2010).
Plus, students have the benefit of being able to use the virtual labs from anywhere, to practice, learn, and move at their own pace — something that will hopefully be a critical part of educational systems and edtech solutions moving forward.
In the face of this accelerating pace of change, our educational system is not keeping up, so we have a growing imbalance between the output of our educational system and the jobs that are available.
What has not kept pace is the creation of educational curriculums and dynamic methods to train young service providers.
To maximize the pace of our nation's progress, we must maintain a variety of educational options and make all of those more affordable in a way that is fair both to students and taxpayers.
But new schools and additional classrooms have not kept pace with skyrocketing caseloads and growing sophistication among parents about what sort of educational techniques work.
