tkt8763-01: Bob Hughes Audio

[Amanda Leigh Richardson <alr9@ra.msstate.edu>]

I listened to the Bob Hughes audio and was truly impressed.  His point on
how education has jumped to a higher level is so true.  To get a job now
days you must be more prepared than you did in years past.  I wanted to
shout Amen! when he said students should not be passed until they have
met their level of proficiency.  This is a problem I have with my
students (8th grade).  They have been let pass because they went to summer
school.  Excuse me, but if you can't get it in 9 months what makes you
think they can get it in a few weeks.  This has happeded for the past 
few years and they ar getting futher and futher behind.  Also, I do
believe kids are coming to school less prepared.  I have a child starting
Kindergarten this fall and I hope he will be more prepared than I was when
I started to school.  He knows more about the computer now than I did when
I graduated college.
	A wonderful audio.  I wish I could have been present.
