In the article "Schools would be great if it wasn't for the kids" talks about how school would be great if it weren't kids going to school. What matters from this is that kids aren't good at learning at school and they can't focus they are to dismal about school they just think its boring. This matters to me because I think some of my classes are boring and I don't try to hard in them. This matters to education because kids aren't paying attention and they are just getting stupid and not trying. This matters to the world because It would be a bad world if everybody got bored and got stupid the world just wouldn't run right.

In the article "Better learning or better learners" by Will Richardson it explains how either the kids are bad at learning or the teachers aren't good enough at teaching. What matters from this is that kids aren't learning enough but they don't know what to improve the teachers or the students. This matters to me because if I don't learn then I wont be successful in life because I don't enough. This matters to education because the teaching and learning will just get worse and people will get stupider. This matters to the world because we can't let people get stupider or else life will be worse.

In the blog post "Our Googley advice to students: Major in learning" by Jonathan Rosenburg, it talks about how the Google workers need special skills to work in the company to make it better. What matters is if people don't have the right skills people won't be able to improve what or who they work for. This matters to me because if I don't make the person or the company that I work for happy with how I'm improving it they might fire me. This matters to education because kids need to be taught these skills so they can be successful. This matters to the world because if people don't improve then we will always be the same. I think malevolent people shouldn't wish bad things to the people who try and become successful just because there to lays to work at it.

In the article "Former President Bill Clinton rallies Danver crowd for Bennet" by Michael Booth, it tells how our former precedent is helping Bennet by convincing people to vote for him. What matters from this is if Bennet isn't the right choice then he will be screwing up Colorado because he might have bad ideas that will ruin stuff. This matters to me because he could change my life with new ideas that could change my life good or bad. This matters to education because Bennet might change Colorado's education in bad ways. This matters to the world because he might try to run for precedent in the future and he might cause global conflicts. To conclude we must not let former president's ideas make us vote for somebody who isn't a good choice for Colorado Senate.

In the video "2020 Vision" by Karl Fisch he explains what he thinks will happen in 2020 what matters from this is if this is all correct then if one company owns everything bad things might come out of it because they might control everything in the world. In his video he thinks that companies will buy other companies until their all owned by one person. This matters to me because if this happens to me in the future then I will have no chance of getting more successful in life. This matters to education because all of the kids at Arapahoe will have their own laptops so they can be more efficient but if might over load the Internet at Arapahoe and there will be technical difficulties. This matters to the world because everything will all be controlled by Google and there will be no way for somebody else to gain control. To conclude Karl Fisch is a philosopher for giving us these ideas about the future so we can prepare for it.

In the article "Denver woman shot after argument at convenience store" by Kieran Nicholson a woman is shot after arguing with a person at a conscience store what matters from this is people are using their right to freedom of speech and are getting shot for it and it matters because if people use their freedom of speech they may be killed for no good reason. This is a very bad thing to happen to people if they can t tell people their ideas. This matters to me because if I use my freedom of speech I might be killed by somebody. This matters to education because student might become afraid of using their freedom of speech because they think that bad things will come out of it so they won't tell people their ideas. This matters to the world because people will be afraid to tell people what might be the better solution to problems because they think it might make people mad. To conclude people should not be punished if they use their right to freedom of speech.

In the article "Rigor Redefined" by Tony Wagner it made me think am I learning enough in school for my future? What matters is that people won't have essential skills to live because the education right now isn't teaching us things that people want at their companies. I learned from the article that there are 7 skills that kids aren't learning but they need these skills for thier futures. This matters to me because I might not be learning enough to do well in my future. This matters to education because kids might not know enough to succeed in life. This matters to the world because kids aren't learning essential skills that they need as much anymore. To conclude kids need more philanthropist to help them learn essential skills.
