Learning at School?

After watching Will Richardson's video over education, I came to the realization that kids learn absolutely anywhere else but at school. It really shouldn't be shocking, schools make students "learn" with people their age and expect them to progress at the same pace, learning the same material, the same exact way. That is nothing like the real world. Besides, everyone learns differently, some will be better than others and not everyone have the same interests. All these things must be considered.

What motivates me to learn is my passion for teaching and wanting to become a teacher, working with kids. Before I came across a Children Education class, I didn't have motivation to learn much. Then teachers wonder why students like their electives better than core classes. This is because they chose those classes, they found it interesting. If anything, most of their motivation to keep coming to school is because they know they'll get scolded by their parents if they decide not that attend.

Since my goal is to work with kids, I would definitely try making school or my classroom a great learning environment. To do this first, I need to grab their interest with what I will be teaching. I need to make it fun and interactive, posing interesting questions. I would have groups of four or six in each table and encourage teamwork. I would have to know my students and their interests in order to provide the necessary education. I would make sure they really know and understand why a certain subject is important, how it involves them. It's not just to pass you class, but to remember it throughout their lives, making them a better person in society. "Practice our beliefs" is what was said towards the end of the video, and that's precisely what I plan to do.
