By: theedadvocate.org Mathew Lynch, who spent seven years as a K-12 teacher, knows the challenges that face educational reform in the country. According to the online magazine's mission, “We have debated for some time now about what we should be teaching our children and how exactly we should be teaching them….But what so many of us are overlooking at this time, is the growing importance of knowledge…. The Edvocate was created to argue for shifts in education policy….and the opportunities for learning afforded to American students.” The activist argues that understanding the issues that are involved in this regard are crucial to the future of the country's education K-12 system. According to the online magazine, it is not what is imparted to students in the K-12 system but what is not. The basic principle governing the web based magazine is to focus on discussing the issues of an educational system that focuses more on materialism than a lifetime of learning. The articles and opinion pieces that are published in The Edvocate aim to focus attention on this lapse and slow implementation of resources that might promote critical thinking and comprehension for students at the K-12 level. The website's mission also states that K-12 institutions are quite “sluggish” About The Edvocate The Edvocate is an online magazine that is the brainchild of award winning professor, activist and Associate Professor at Langston University, Mathew Lynch. The main mission of the web based magazine is to discuss necessary reorganization of America’s public school system. The online magazine does so by proposing reasonable policies that aim to refocus on skills and knowledge types.
