4. Do we need more or less emphasis of either Core Knowledge or 21st Century Learning Skills? How would we go about it?

I believe we need more emphasis on both. However the need for our students to have strong core knowledge is vitall. I also strongly believe that 21st Century Learning skills are important, especially for the US education system. We just can't compete with China, and certain other countries when it comes to core knowledge. I think it is beneficial to ouudents to have a healthy balance of both.
