Throughout Brave New World people are "conditioned" to do and say what the government wants. They are conditioned on what to like who to be and what to do. They dont mind having to do a certain job that you or I may hate because they are told to love it.
In education we are also taught what to do in school and how to do it, even if we are totally uninterested in the subject entirely. For example, in elementary school we are especially reduced to these old methods of teaching and half the kids in class dont have the attention span for classes they could care less about anyway. What we learn is the same thing that teachers have been teaching for years, and whatever they teach you is what you memorize and are tested on. Even if you suck at memorizing(or studying, whatever you want to call it) It seems to me that even if you learn differently than others then your out of luck if that teacher has been teaching only one wa foe a very long time. Doesnt everyone learn differently? I would say so and some people catch on as faster as others. In the video we see how education is taught today and how inefficient it is. The practices we use to teach kids are "outdated", and do not meet the standards of this new generation/era.
New technology has made it so much easier learn and teach so there is no reason why technology can advance and education cant .If we spent time fixing our ways of teaching as much as we spent time on the newest Ipod or 3D t.v. then we can definitely update how we are taught. So what happens now? Should we be forced to be educated by an inefficient method of teaching. I disagree, if technology advances, so should education.
