The world is changing constantly and education is no exception. The ways in which students are learning are changing too. I’ve been asked about the education of my students and the question is so common that I created this list of adjectives to help students learn better in our ever-changing world.
I would have to say that a lot of students don’t like going to school, and learning is something that is often put off. However, with proper instruction, students can learn more than they know they know. Unfortunately, what is often overlooked is that learning does not occur in one session. There are many days of school that do not include instruction, and the students then have to learn how to do that much worse.
Some people do make one mistake, and others fail. For example, a school teacher made a mistake by not having a clear explanation for the problem, and then the students were forced to get the wrong answer. The result was that the problem was never talked about and the teacher simply sat on the ground, waiting for the correct answer. The problem was never addressed.
That’s what happened in Florida in 2004, when a teacher, Frank Moya, did not have a clear and thorough explanation for a math problem. The students, who had no idea what the problem was, were then forced to get it wrong. They were also forced to repeat a problem that they didn’t know the answers to, which resulted in them getting it wrong.
The Florida school district has had to pay out over 300 million dollars in fines that were not made public. Because of this, students are now under investigation and are also on probation for the actions of the teacher. This is what all of our teachers and students are going through right now.
