Quote:
"But as I see it, knowledge alone is not enough. In today’s rapidly changing world, people must continually come up with creative solutions to unexpected problems."
Response:
I completely agree with this quote. Someone could have tons and tons of knowledge, but if they don’t use that knowledge, it is worthless. One must be able to apply their knowledge to situations and problems they are approached with. I believe schools should teach students problem solving techniques, even if they don’t believe the students will need this skill, I believe it is vital for society. Students are often sent into the world not completely prepared for the things they will face. Students are often prepared to go to college, but what if they decide to go right into the workforce? If they haven’t been taught to solve problems logically, then what will happen?
