One More Thought!

"All Learning is self-taught" made me think long & hard about how I teach. At the secondary level, teaching can be like pulling teeth. If you said this to my 11th graders they would just laugh and say that it is the teachers job. Their parents & the state also say the same thing. So until there is a educational revolution, good luck!

But if you do make it student centered, and not teacher centered you solve a lot of problems. At this level they need to be lead and reinforced with feedback not only from the teacher, but from their peers. Feedback can come from the world wide web also. But there area dangers to WWW that as teachers we need to protect our students from those people who miss use the technology highway.

This is a saying I will keep to remind me, of how learning should be for all people.
