The New York Times Blogs about Schooling Shortfalls

Earlier this week, Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, an adolescent medicine specialist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, was featured in The New York Times’ Health Blog. In the blog post, he questions the strongly focused emphasis parents and schools place on a child’s grades, standardized test score, and their eventually acceptance to a top-level university. He explains that school should focus more on teaching life lesson to better prepare students for the realities they will face when they leave the classroom behind. Read the blog to learn more about what can be done to improve the education system.
