Blog #11 Shor

Shor made some really good points in this article, But I wasn't interested in it while reading it. It was pretty Blah and not that interesting, it was a hard article to get thru as I was reading it, it didn't keep my interest.
What I found interesting was when it said Primary grade teachers, devote time to problems of socialization.
One of the things I didn't really realize until I read this article was that the most important things that children learn are NOT the 3 R's, its socialization.
I agree with the author that one good way to start off the school year is asking students why we go to school? For High Schoolers and middle schoolers teachers should be asking this, I was asked it like every year in the beginning of school years. Then as I got older we had to write a paragraph or a paper on why do we go to school and why is it important. It Shows students that they can trust you. I know that every teacher that asked me that question they are the ones that helped me be successful through the school year.
Science class should beginning with questions like what is biology? what is chemistry? Students should e able to writ their responses before the teacher actually teaches the subject.
According to the article people a naturally curious and we are all born learners. I agree that we are all curious we are also all nosey in what other people are doing a lot. We are all the same because we all are born to learn.

    Marissa,

    I love your honesty in this post. I agree with you, the ideas presented are important and interesting, but the article itself is not engaging. But you did a great job highlighting the main points the author made.

    Marissa, I really liked what you had to say! I love your idea of starting every class by posing an open ended question. When doing so it’s important to keep an open mind and not correct children on what they say. I do agree that this was not the most exciting article we have read, but it did make some good points.

    i think you summed it up greatly. I agree with you that it was hard to get into, but it did have a lot of good points.

In the Kliewer article Mia noticed that she didn't like the classes she was taking. She had to go thru special education her whole life. She wanted to take classes that interested her. I agree with Mia. I hate taking classes that are not interesting to me. It makes the semester and days go by so slow. Mia felt mad and like she wanted to cry. I don't feel that way unless its math class. Math classes bore me and I cant stand math and it stresses me out so much. Success in life requires ability to form relationships with others who make up the web of community. We all have to learn how to get along with others. If we don't get along with others our lives would be miserable. Just think about it. I know most of us probably have had coworkers that we can not stand and once you don't get along going to work is a struggle. Even when we don't like each other we should still try to get along with one another. It will make your lives better. Shoshone is a parent run scho...

Journal number 5    Quotes    There were some quotes in this article called Safe Spaces,  that really stood out to me and I feel like they need to be shared to others.    “ Youth who struggle with Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender identities or who are bullied for the perception of being different often feel as if they have nowhere to turn.”  With this quote I feel like children should just feel  like themselves. Sometimes I see teachers in daycare setting making fun of little boys who play with dolls and they even tell them to go play with the  blocks. I feel like they should just let them play where they want to play.    “Death should NEVER be an option. ” If you know someone who is sad and says they want to kill themselves, you need to speak with them. Ignoring the problem will make things worse.    Another quote that stood out to me was, “For many youths people suicide feels like a b...

I attended the movie "Matt Shepard is a friend of Mine." It was a few weeks ago but I have not had the time to write about it yet. This documentary was about a gay young man. He was tortured and was murdered. Matt died in 1998. He was Dolly Parton one year for Halloween which was probably a huge hint for people that he was gay. His guidance counselor was one of the first people he has told before his own parents, and friends. Matt was afraid that his parents would disown him and reject him. Matt to me I feel like he was a pretty popular boy. He had a lot of friends and he traveled the world so much. He was very adventurous. He loved people and loved making people happy.  Matt loved politics, he wanted to become a actor, he was in many plays. He wanted to change things about the world. He wanted to build a Church. When Matt died his friend still feels guilty and angry because she didn't get to do anything to help him. She has saved all his stuff pictures and letters for me...
