Response to Blog #1
Gracen, thank you for sharing such a personal response. You are an inspiration, I really appreciate your post. It was well thought out and it had some really fun links!
I think that the way of teaching is slowly evolving and hopefully changing into something that is a more positive environment for the children.
I lived in the united states for 10 years and then another year I went to high school, I can say with confidence that it is not the same as the education in Canada. In the States, I saw how classrooms were set up in a very traditional way with only grades and GPA being the most important aspect. I did very well, however, this was not an ideal setup.
I work with a client who I tutor through my company, and the teachers of this student have effectively given up on them. It is such a sad thing to witness. I really hope that there is going to be more room for change and growth in the system.
