Before I read this book I never truly thought the way that you think could actually change so much about how you work. I know that we all learn and think differently but I have been taught that nobody has a bad way of thinking. But this made me realize that when we stop and really think sometimes there can be a bad type of thinking not bad as in you don’t get a result but bad as in the type of result you get. It was hard for me to barely just get past the different types of thinkers before I…

Alfie Kohn, the author of “Poor Teaching for Poor Children…In the Name of School Reform,” is also the author of many other books regarding education and human behavior. His article, published in Education Week magazine, discusses his belief that standardized tests justify sub-par teaching methods and that they are counter-productive in closing the education gap between urban and middle-class students. Although no reader will disagree that poor children should suffer sub-par teaching, certain…

teachers was Anne Sullivan, not only did she have all the quality’s listed above she was able to implement them into whole teaching plans. The first step towards being a great teacher is to have your own personal love for what you’re teaching. In high school I had a math teacher who hated being a math teacher, every day she would come in and explain how much she hated her job and didn’t want to be there. It made her class extremely hard to pass because everything was graded very harshly,…

heroic teacher,” is one that Allison Ricket points out in her article in January of 2014. The film I watched displayed this myth perfectly. Robin Williams played the character of a new English teacher, Mr. Keating, at a prestigious all boys boarding school and comes to meet a student by the name of Neil Perry (played by Robert Leonard) who, like most of the boys, come from a very strict household and holds a high level of expectations from his family. Neil seeks the help of Mr. Keating for…

English system of teacher education trainings, strictly controlled by the government, can serve as an example of effectiveness for other countries in terms of curriculum planning and delivery, as the program is being devised by the teachers both from schools and universities (p.…

point on why people should stop defending music. When Peter Greene wrote the article Stop Defending Music, he wrote it for all the people who think music’s is a waste of time in schools. What Greene meant by stop defending music is, to stop making music seem like a bad thing to have in schools. Give music a chance to schools just like you give any other creative arts a chance. He just wants to stand up for what he believe is right when it comes to music. He feels that music should be more on…

I was a jerk back in Junior High. I was home schooled so I wasn 't used to socializing outside of the family. I decided to use the "High School Musical" movies as my guide. I know, the stupidity of a 14-year-old girl is amazing! Anyway, back in 8th grade that began changing. The change started in a small windowless room. The air was stale and reeked of cheap perfume. Most of the class was relaxing, chatting with each other near the door and waiting for the bell to ring for lunch. However, on the…

In Plato’s Republic, education is the primary means of creating the model citizen for the state. Education is, in other words, the means of ensuring children grow up to be well-adjusted, high-performing citizens loyal to the state. But Plato (in the person of Socrates) makes certain stipulations about what that education should be in terms of its curriculum, and in regards to who designs it which indicate Plato is, in fact, espousing indocrtination, as opposed to education, as a means to…
