Is it true that today's youth are not really interested in schooling? " teacher I hate school " this is what I was told by one of my grade 12 students in a public school in Halifax just two days ago.I know this is a single case but it is just the emerging part of the iceberg.

America is not alone in this for ,out of my decent expeirnece in teaching in different countries in Africa and Europe and now in Canada, I can strongly confirm the fact that several other educational systems suffer more or less the same flaws.
" Open any newspaper and the story is the same: The American educational system is tragically failing our youth.Student test scores are dismal and drop out rates are astronomical . But many experts believe that the burgeoning field of educational technology provides hope and with Apple's big announcement this week, they might just be right".
