In Tony Wagner’s “Rigor Redefined” tony explained what school systems are like now. He said that only 1 in 20 classes are actual successful learning communities, thought by philosophers. The rest of the classes are just the teacher giving you problems then the anser, or simply drilling the facts into you head. This affects me because in most if not all classes I have I am not getting optimal education. This affects my class because all my fellow students aren’t getting the nollage they should be getting ether and the teacher isn’t doing there jobs as our educators. This affects the myriad of people in the world because most of us are going to reach our full potential as professional learners. Its basically like finding out all our information from simple textbooks, is that how you want your education to occur

In The article “Ex-Student stopped with gun outside Westminster school” By Yesenia Robles there was a child who went back to his school with a gun but thankfully was stopped by the staff. He had previous criminal charges and a history of valance. This affects me because if this had been my school and he had gotten in there could be drastic changes in my school life, as well as my home life. One of my friends or even me could be a casualty of this hateful child. This affects my class because it would lock down the school and I wouldn’t have nearly as many freedoms as I currently possess. This affects the world because it could be another columbine disaster and many children traumatized as well as parents left in awe over there lost children. What would you do if you where in a school with students shot by a former student?
