Through Dr. Ken Robinson’s theories, we see that the use of bells and separation of age groups can all lead to an interest in industrialization and order, deemed the primary way to integrate students into the workforce.

Even until today, students continue to face standardized testing within their classrooms, and students are placed in classes based on their age, not their talents and interests. School is still seen as academically focused and not based off of divergent thinking

Larger class sizes make it hard for teachers to connect with individual students

Not a lot of creative freedom with curriculum and how you teach students

Standardized testing limits students and teachers

Separating kids by age can lead to negelecting different needs in the classroom (i.e. more attention given to students who struggle academically)
