Room305 says

Our knowledge has a cycle. If we pay attention and learn, the cycle will continue. If we can't, there will be no new information for the next generation.

Room305 says

In middle school, you should fill out a form that shows what job you want and the school should create a custom learning schedule for you.

Room305 says

People want to be smarter. Therefore, we should know at least a bit and not just rely on the internet to know for us.

Room305 says

Teachers should adapt to students' shorter attention spans and students need to adapt so that they can pay attention for longer periods of time.

Room305 says

Schools should be like they were 100 years ago.

Room305 says

Teach us to develop more attention. Teach us to be able to research for a long time.

Room305 says

As schools, you shouldn't teach us old knowledge because we don't need to know facts that aren't true.

Room305 says

We started out trying to get the computer to help our needs. Now we're the ones trying to catch up. If the world is moving this fast, what will happen to us?

Room305 says

Technology makes us lazier and we need to be active in our learning and give our brains the right knowledge.

Room305 says

Information is not staying; it's always changing. If you read a book, the information stays the same, but internet information is always changing.

Room305 says

We need to learn how to be a member of society. We need to learn cooperation and responsibility. That's why we need to go to school.

Room305 says

Even if you try to encourage students to slow down, there will always be students who go too fast.

Room305 says

We are too used to looking up information on the internet and not spending enough time reading books.

Room305 says

If you have a short attention span and your teachers adapt to your learning habits, you won't be able to concentrate on anything.

Room305 says

If you teach long and boring but give a lot of information, people won't want to learn so they won't get 100% of the knowledge you give them.

Room305 says

School should teach you the basic facts for your to know what type of learning you like and what subjects you might be interested in.

Room305 says

School should be about all the facts for 12 years. And students should learn what they're teaching and learn behavior and how to see.

Room305 says

Students need to develop more attention in order to learn and become better students.

Room305 says

Schools should teach us how to 'expertize' because if everybody in the world only relies on the internet then there won't be anyone who creates information.

Room305 says

Your brain is like a muscle and your learning is like exercising it.

Room305 says

We can't just depend on the internet to know for us. If something goes wrong with it. all our knowledge will be gone.

Room305 says

Schools are trying to train our brains to think things through. They are training us to think for ourselves and not rely on machines to do our thinking for us.
