Kettering :: essays research papers

Kettering TapeIn listening to Ketterings lecture there are volt main points that I was able to pick out1.Point of view of failure The example he gave was that a person going to grades K 12 take several tests and if they fail just one they are out, however inventors can fail 999 condemnations but if they succeed just once past they are a success not a failure. 2.There are two kinds of education Kettering claims that one kind of education is being specialized in one particular subject, and the second row of education is knowing a little bit on a wide variety of subjects. This second form is what Kettering claims to be how inventors were educated.3. I.Q. Tests Kettering claimed that I.Q. tests have nothing to do with the person taking the test, but rather, what the person administering the test wants them to be.4.Teach kids the future We are going to spend our time in the future not in the past, so why do we not study the future and study what is going to happen rather than wh at has already happened that we cannot change. We should educate people for the next 15 20 years.5.The problem Kettering states The Problem has to be the boss. From what I get of this he means that you have to buzz off up with a resolution from the problem. The problem has to be the main focus for a reasonable solution to be approached.What do I think of what Kettering utter? Where is he right? Where is he wrong? Why?I cannot say that I agree totally with what he says, but then again I cannot say I totally disagree. He brings up several points that are infinitely arguable. I do agree with the two kinds of education that are declared in number two above. I dont think there is one best way to teach children wether it be specialized in one subject, or in a wide variety of subjects as each child learns differently and at their own pace. I dont think that we can teach children or adults the future.
