"Are we Selling it to The Wrong People?"
By David Warlick

In the article "Are we Selling it to The Wrong People?" by David Warlick, it says that what the teachers and schools are buying for the students are good materials and that they have good intentions but is it really what the students need to learn effectively? The staff in schools will buy text books and other materials for the students and then teach them out of that, but the students really are not learning as much as the teacher thinks they are because it does not fit our learning styles. In the conversation David had with some co-workers in a meeting they said that most of the tools and learning supplies including books speak the language of students today, but the actual ad was pitched to teachers not students so they really cant know if it is or not. Some people think that the students should get a say in what the school buys regarding materials since they are the ones that will be using it, but others say that students are still growing up and cant decide what they want yet so teachers should just teach them what the schools buy. Clearly, there is a big dispute about education these days and what is best for students in regards of learning in the class rooms of today.

  10. Good job with the eye connection. I also liked the question. The school should have talk about what we would like to have for the school/supplies. I agree with this 100%.

  11. I believe that we should have a say in what the school buys unless it's something outrageous that is very expensive
