When I get bored or think about changing my major, I always look up videos to remind me of why I choose this calling. This video made me rethink about the teachers that are in this field and why they are there. I always ask a teacher after observations: Is this what you want to do? Do you LOVE being here?
I mentioned yesterday in class that I attended Louisville Central High School, which also The Great Muhammad Ali also went to high school. They quoted in the youtube video "As a high school student, many of my teachers labeled me DUMB... I could barely read my textbooks"
That statement with me raised questions. Why did your teachers let you graduate? Why didn't you receive the help you needed? Some teachers just want to pass a student to give the student or "the problem" to the next teacher.
But that's all I wanted to share. (:
How do you think we can change this, Takisha?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have been more specific, how can we change the view of students who learn in different ways? Great video to show how people can overcome challenges and struggles!
ReplyDeleteI feel like we should let the students know that we ALL learn in different ways. It is ok to feel like you stand out because you do. But I also feel like it is a self-esteem issue when students have that view on their education.
