Worst

I think it's better because the know facts of the world have more than doubled 10 times over since the 60's.
I do think that our education is cluttering our minds with things we don't need. 10% is know the answers and 90% is knowing where to find the answers.
I think High School would be more effective if they focused more on human interaction and psychology and less on the generals in the WWII. Lets enlighten our kids on how the world works and what is going to happen when then get out into the "Real World" and maybe we won't have so many kids who graduate and are still bouncing around from minimum wage job with 20k in credit card debt at the age of 28.
Thats just my thoughts

It's worse. Education is learning to be a better person. To be a person with human values. Not cramming things to answer exams and forget them sooner you pass the exam. Now you learn a lot with one thing in mind. "Exams"."Titles", but very rarely one is aware about nature and cultural backgrounds of own and others, Caring for parents and adults,children,teachers, religions etc. Now everything is though the computer ,TV and phone.

We aren't any better we are just learning dideren't stuff.
When we figure out that learning can't be cramed into a few years of schooling and that it happens over a life time we might get somewhere.

It may be better in some ways but teaching methods have not improved much and often schools and learning are not seen to be as important as they once were.

Great question.
We (today's generation) do have alot more "stuff" and information than they (past generations) did, but in the process we have lost many things that they had.

I would say worse in that we are required to simply memorize dates and times, and not really think outside the box, we need to use our imaginations more, and question things that we learn, unless we question things nothing will change

Depends where you are. I'm in Australia and I think it is getting better as far as people learning to think rather than follow what they are told.

better, but at the same time there is more distraction.
