Ups and Downs of Education
Education today is ever changing. Though it can be intimidating at times, the changes brought about by new teachers and innovators can be both extraordinary and disappointing. One positive in the classroom today is the bravery of teachers to think outside of the box. Much more often, now, teachers provide multiple opportunities for students to learn. Rarely, anymore, are students forced to only work on worksheets or only recite memorization. With such change, students are much more capable of succeeding. As always, however, there is a negative in any positive situation. With many students finding their niche, teachers can become preoccupied with one student's success and become immune to another's disadvantage. When focusing on another student, there are sometimes students who are written a script for Aderol because a teacher does not take the time or pay the attention to find the student's best learning style.

Courtney,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed reading your insightful and reflective commentary. I especially appreciated your observations that too often we as teachers find ourselves focusing on the successes of some of our students at the expense of the disadvantages others are encountering.
I look forward to reading more of your ideas and your 5-4-3-2-1 responses.
Peace.
