Another article that’s been sitting in my to-blog list for a while, but with school starting (or started) all over the globe, it’s worth noting.<\/p>\n

Ten skills every student should learn | Curriculum | eSchoolNews.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a good list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read<\/li>\n
  2. Type<\/li>\n
  3. Write<\/li>\n
  4. Communicate effectively, and with respect.<\/li>\n
  5. Question<\/li>\n
  6. Be resourceful<\/li>\n
  7. Be Accountable<\/li>\n
  8. Know how to learn<\/li>\n
  9. Think Critically<\/li>\n
  10. Be Happy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Interestingly, four of them (5,6,8,and 9) require curiosity in order to be of any real value. One of the things I have come across far too many students is a real lack of curiosity. Sure, they ask questions, but if the answer doesn’t fall into their laps, they loose interest. Far too many students are unwilling to do the work needed to find out the answers to their questions. That is the path to ignorance.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>If I combine the common elements, I could probably shorten this list to just 5:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be curious.<\/li>\n
    2. Communicate well.<\/li>\n
    3. Think Critically.<\/li>\n
    4. Take responsibility.<\/li>\n
    5. Be happy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Not bad.<\/p>\n
