Ch. 7 book quotes

"As education becomes more tailored to people's interests and abilities, the kind of competitiion between students found in school will likely diminish." (pg. 110)
This is true because when people have the same interests, it alleviates any differences they may have and provide a better learning environment. It will also allow students to spread out rather than having such a diverse group of studetns with different interests and abilities. It'll become much easier to teach students with less diverse interests and abilities.

"But people are not going to learn much unless they take resoponsibility for thier own learning." (pg. 111)
Since education is becoming more reliant on parents and the individual rather than the state, it is very important that the student starts to take responsibility for their own learning. This will allow them to continue learning for lifelong learning and skills.

"Technology holds the promise for engaging students in deep learning and pushing students to become the best-educated people they can be." (pg. 111)
I like this quote because technology does give us a more engaging way to learn with all of it's possibilities. Therefore, we can have a deeper learning experience and understanding to better our education.
