An Honest Education System

One would think that this is a statement about what is wrong with education as a whole, but I already wrote about that. If you're curious, check out What's Wrong With Education here .

I am a SUNY Cortland student from the Cortland-Ithaca area, and my mom went to Cortland to become an art teacher when she went to school. The educational system that I've dealt with my whole life is definitely something, but I digress. The education system is definitely spotty at Cortland, but the system is the core to the future of teaching, so here are my opinions regarding the future of the educational system:

1. The NO GRADE System

You heard me correctly. No more grades, no more number-enforcement. This definitely-still maintains a rapport of respect.

2. Character, Values, Morals, and Ethics teaching.

lt will share how to learn from experiences and leading by example.

3. Tools For LIFE

People will learn trades and how to apply educational material to real life (no common core).

4. FUN

The outdoors, board games, and creativity will be explored.

5. Teach to Teach

Teach expertise to be taught: How to address situations and work together as individuals as well as units for causes that are sustainable and take confidence.

College should still address these issues on a more advanced level as well as advanced teachings of character and trades of all, but there should be no issues AT ALL. Please share (subscribe).

Thank you, Steven Stoughton, The Pres (YouTube).

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
