Austin CAN Presentation- Sept. 12

The most interesting issue to me in Mr. Alvarez’ presentation was the decrease in kindergarten readiness. I thought that parents were starting to find new, innovative ways to educate their children at a younger age. Knowing a lot of people that have recently had children, it concerns me that their level of primary and secondary education could be jeopardized based on the average skills of these kids now entering elementary school. After living in this city for so long, however, most of the other topics discussed I already had a general idea of. The current trends and how they’ve varied over the years are something I’ve been aware of for a while. It’s important to explore wicked problems locally because it spurs thought about how to solve these issues and why the issues are happening. Some people believe that if you ignore issues, they go away, but issues don’t disappear if they are ignored, they get worse. By confronting these issues, it allows us to explore how analytical and creative we are about solving these problems, and it shows how unique each person’s view about different issues is, creating a diverse city in both culture and views.

  1. Lexi – I agree. The decrease in K readiness is alarming isn’t it?
