Answer 1

Having teachers that do not keep up with the changing world is a problem..

In the past students had no computers,  tv,  cell phones, IPods, or calculators.

Presently, we have many things your parents never had.  The key to surviving high school now is being able to adapt and to be able to keep up with the fast changing world.

In the future you must continue to adapt quickly to the latest inventions to make your life easier.  The history will be more to remember.  The key to learning is understanding the subject not more memorizing.

If you graduated from high school and don't know where water comes from or how oxygen is made, or what electricity is and where it comes from, you did not have good teachers..  If you don't know where north is without a compass you did not have the good teachers. When I was in high school in the 60's, 99% of my classmates did not know the definition of an airplane or how it flies.  They could not even tell me how electricity is created or its definition.  I was lucky to take Aerospace Science and  be in the Civil Air Patrol that flew gliders on weekends.  I also got my Single Sideband Radio License.

If you have fears of going to high school, reading  these words of wisdom might help.
