180 Days?

From the fishbowl, April 2007 comes "180 Days?" In this blog, Mr. Fisch brings up the topic of creating change in the class room to keep up to date with the 21st century. He says some think it is a problem, and cannot accept change because there isn't enough time in the 180 days allotted to teach extra curriculum.
Mr. Fisch claims however that there are plenty of days, if used wisely. The link is as follows: http://plethoratech.blogspot.com/2007/04/180.html. It describes just how many of the 180 days are waisted, and could be put to good use in teaching things pertinent to the 21st century.
