What will school be like for years 7 and 8 in 50 years time?

In 50 years time most of the same subjects will be taught but in different ways. Take maths as an example, we will not need to know how to add,  but we will still need to know the concepts. This is because there will be other devices to help with the calculations as technology is advancing rapidly. 

For writing we will have things like voice recognition, another technology system, growing rapidly in both accuracy and use in everyday life. Spelling will not matter because the voice recognition technology will be able to spell for us. We will also not be taught handwriting as this will be replaced by voice recognition or typing. This means the time normally used for learning how to write neatly can be used on other topics.

Technology at Otaki college, woodwork, metalwork and sewing will be replaced with online learning teaching things more along the lines of computer coding, computer game making, website development and other computer related courses.

Physical education will still be taught but there will be a change in the sports we play as new sports are created. 

Also the changes in virtual reality will allow us to, when we learn languages, go to the country we are learning about and walk around the streets and see the sights without leaving the classroom.

In conclusion I think that education will change alot in the next 50 years and as time goes on we won't even be going to school, it will be all virtual, at home at a time that suits us.
