5. My Philosophy of Education Most students find school to be incredibly boring (hence the overwhelming texting during classes) Today’s teens are efficient, multi-tasking individuals that need to be engaged in the learning process The world is indeed flat Jobs of the future require teamwork, globalization, networking, technological and creative problem- solving skills It IS possible to be active, have fun, and learn at the same time
