How we educate people in schools

“By saving the woodland caribou’s remaining Boreal Forest habitat,
we’ll also help protect one of the world’s largest natural carbon
reserves and slow the effects of climate change.”

I'll be a media panelist and a mentor at GLOBE 2008 - Special Emerging Leaders Workshop for Youth 18-25. If anyone is going to this event, feel free to drop by and say hi.

More information about the day is listed below....

thegreenmedia.ca is a celebration of inspiring motion pictures and documentary films (and
of course the best short-clips from the web). Thumbs up or thumbs down,
we want to know what your reviews are.

I am proud to announce a new search engine called thegreensearch.ca.
(www.thegreensearch.ca)

Through the power of Google, thegreenpages.ca network has created a specialized search engine that searches Canadian environment-related web sites. Rather than searching the entire web, your search yields "green" results from across Canada and around the world. Use it as a research tool, or keep up to date on the latest news, events, and trends happening in our environment.

The environment has been a "hot topic" (pardon the pun) lately. In almost every media outlet (web sites, newspapers, newscast etc.) there is always a section or segment about what we can do to lessen our impact on our environment or how we are ruining it for our children. CTV is running a week-long ecological footprint segment this week, the Globe and Mail and the CBC both have climate change sections on their web sites, and every magazine has a "Green Issue" or eco-lifestyle theme (are they really "green" or is it just "green wash" ?).

I clarify that I think labels in our current education system are necessary, but that doesn't mean I agree with them. I would much rather see a different way for students needs to be addressed.

I would like to change how we educate people in school.

 I am a third year university student who  is concerned with how students are taught at all levels of the education system.

I do not agree with the labels we use (such as learning disabled or gifted etc.) to give students an education that meets their needs. I am interested in getting programs such as mentorships going with the aim of enriching education regardless of labels.
