John Dewey talks about how the young should learn from older generations but in today's world this is not the case. In my opinion children are not learning basic skills like they once did in a home economics course or a woodshop course because schools are focusing so much on technology. I do think it is important for students to be able to use technology because that is the world we live in but what happens if technology fails in a situation? What skills are children left with?

"As formal teaching and training grow in extent, there is the danger of creating an indesirable split between the experience gained in more direct associations and what is acquired in school. This danger was never greater than at the present time, on account of the rapid growth in the last few centuries of knowledge and technical modes of skill. "- John Dewey

Up until high school much of what we learned and were tested on simply required memorization. Tests consisted mostly of fill-ins or multiple choice questions which really only required us to remember the names of certain people, places, or things. From grade 9 and on there was more focus on understanding and analyzing. I can remember doing many experiments in chemistry and physics that required an understanding of general principles and being able to analyze the results. We also analyzed a lot of stories, plays, and poetry in our english classes.
