Explanation: I chose to have Remembering and Understanding the bigger portions because I felt like K-12 education was a lot of memorizing and repeating what was taught. We learned a lot of basics and eventually did some applying and analyzing, but for the most part, the bigger chunk of my K-12 education was spent on just remembering facts and trying to understand them. When I got to college, I felt like I finally began to analyze and evaluate info.

I chose to focus on Dewey's idea that the older generations or older members of a society are responsible for teaching the younger generations or members. He kept focusing on this in Chapter One and mentioned it a dozen different ways. I agree with this. However, in today's society with all the new technology we have, I feel as though the younger generations know more about technology than the older. As a member of this younger generation, I am always teaching my parents how to use their computers or cell phones. Yes, the younger generation has a lot to learn from the older, but today, the younger generation has a few things they can teach as well. I see it as more of a cycle. The older generation teaches the younger and in turn the younger teaches the older and it keeps going. Forty years ago, before the internet and the explosion of technology, books were the primary resource for information. Our teachers were are our primary source of information. With the easy acessablilty of the internet, anyone can learn anything if they just type it into Google. This comic shows the misconception that teachers know all and can't learn anything from their students.
