Last BLog Post number 10 Ira Shor

1 "it's very important to begin the school ear with a discussion of why we g0 to school"

I think we all go to school because we all want to learn something when it comes to everything that goes on in society. It is important to start young children off in school so they can get a clear understanding of why they have to go to school. They can learn everything from science, math, history, and so much more interesting stuff. It can also help them decide what they want to pick as a career for when they enter college. If children are not starting school at a young age, they wouldn't get be able to understand why everything works in society.

2 "People are naturally. curious. They are born learners. Education can either develop or stifle their inclination to ask why and to learn."



I feel if students never ask why something works for a reason they wouldn't be learning much of anything. Asking why is usually a very wonderful thing because it can help generate more questions so that students will be able to understand for an example why 2 plus 2 = 4. If students don't ask questions i feel they don't want to be there and they do not want to learn about anything, which can certainly hurt them in the future, unless they understand what the teacher is explaining during there lecture.

3 "Through day-to-day lessons; teaching links the students' development
to the values, powers, and debates in society"

This is when teaching becomes very important to the students. It is very important to teachers to convey their thoughts to the students because if the teacher gives a bad lesson then they can have a problem for the rest of their lives. I think the relationship between the teacher and students is important because it is up to the teacher on how to explain each lesson. If they do it in a way a student doesn't understand they can't just sit there and yell at them for not understanding. This is when they should meet one on one and try to accomplish what has gone wrong so that way the student will be able to understand the material for the next lesson or test.

In conclusion, teachers and student are very important these days because they are our leaders of tomorrow. If teachers aren't doing there jobs then the students can be lost in so many ways that they wouldn't know what to do for the rest of their lives. But why decide early when they have so many years of schooling to go. I still don't know what I want to do but that's no ones fault in anyway of my years of schooling. If students continue to do well in school, do all their assignments, and all of their material then they should be bright students as they go on through the system,

I had a similar quote to your first one. I like you explaination and how you made the quote simple.

I had your first quote also i never realized how important that question was.

I agree with your thoughts on your second quote. If a student never questions things they really aren't getting a full education.
