The two concepts connect because both talk about changing the educational system. They highlight the flaws of the current standards of education. Some of which are having different people thrown in together, certain kids being ignored, and less engaged learning. The article also says “...then we must create new institutions that can” (Wolk) when talking about the educational system and institutions failing for certain students. This connects with my view against against closing schools by stating that instead more should be created. This article is really big on getting rid of standardizing education and making it more personal. Diversity is another key point in this article. It says, “...they come from different… cultural backgrounds, learn in different ways…”(Wolk). Personalizing education can help all types of students learn and succeed. Wolk also talks about some schools he works with that have classrooms with only 15 students in them which helps student get the focus and attention they need.
