Welcome to Wikibooks, Cpayn012!

I absolutely agree with your philosophy of education. It is of the upmost importance to emphasize the strenghs of struggling students instead of the weaknesses. Vocational training is a great outlet for students that seem to be struggling academically because it offers students the chance to engage in "real-world" job training. Just because certain children may not have the skill-sets to become English Literature majors at prestigious universities does not mean that they cannot contribute to their society. Why can't we direct students towards vocational programs that teach mechanical skills, woodworking skills, construction management skills, etc? It seems that tailoring an education to the potential interests of a child might be a good idea. Bisaa002 (talk) 00:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad to hear that you are a believer and have been baptized! I have been a Christian for many years and has been the one thing that has been steady in my life. It is the only thing that I know will be there to back me up when I fall. I also agree with you philosophy on education. I completely agree that SOLs are a waste of time and that teaching should not be geared towards a particular standard but things that students can actually use throughout their lifetime.
