As school funding decreases due to declining economies and government budget cuts, public school services will decrease and more parents will withdraw their children from public schools, leading to growth in homeschooling and private schools. Schools are currently focused on subjects like math and languages that are tested, rather than creativity and arts, but the world is becoming more interconnected and multimedia-oriented, so schools will need to change their methods to reflect the growing emphasis on creative design and technology-enabled student and teacher interaction. Bullying will also increasingly move to online/cyber forms.

National and International EconomyWith the economy declining, less money is being spent on educationAs of January 2009, 164 school districts in the US have gone on strike
Predicted U.S. Debt 2014: 106.7% of the GDPTo save money, the government will begin budgeting for smaller amounts and cutting programsLess money for Department of Education to distribute to schools  Less money for school districts to hire or keep teachers  less teaching positions available
Predictions:As school funding decreases, services decrease (ie student transportation, arts programs) more and more parents will withdraw their children from public schools leading to a growth of home-school and private school programsLess children will be attending brick-and-mortar public schools
Stagnant schools, changing worldSchools are established to produce university professorsThe hierarchy of education is identical throughout the worldEmphasis is placed on mathematics and languageFollowed by humanities, with arts at the bottom
Stagnant Schools, Changing World“We don’t grow into creativity we grow out of it. Or rather we get educated out of it” – Ken RobinsonThe world is becoming much more interconnected and multimedia oriented (this project is an example)Music, art etc are “not on the test” and are, if not discouraged then not promoted enough
Stagnant Schools, Changing WorldSchools must change their methods to reflect the growing emphasis on creative designStudents and teachers will interact via email, phone, instant text or audio messaging, programs like “Skype” or talking face-to-faceBullying will become much more cyber oriented
Changes for Students..Bullying will become much more cyber-oriented
