For my final "comments for teachers I was assigned Miss Beth Knittle who is a teacher in Massachusetts. Her most recent post discussed how schools are, and some still should, update the curriculum for students. It really in impressive how far schools have come in just the amount of time since I graduated high school. More schools are now offering online courses, blended learning, more advanced subjects, college prep classes, and a multitude of foreign languages. I commented back to her post saying that I agree that those schools that are still lacking in updates need to progress toward what other advanced schools are doing. While it is tricky to determine in what category some of these classes should be placed or how to determine the certification to teach them, it is necessary to expand upon just the basics of the classroom. Kids need to know all of their options and, in high school especially, they have the best opportunity to expand their knowledge base while not having to leave their comfort zone yet.
