Education In Politics
Ira Shor
- If i were a primary - grade teacher, I would devote my time to problems if socialization. The most important thing children learn is not the three R's. Its socialization.
- The main thing that kids need to know is how to interact with other kids. This should be the first thing that is taught. If kids don't learn how to socialize then they will not make it through school.
- They favored student - centered curricula oriented to the making of knowledge rather then the memorization of facts."
- This is very true. We should teach for kids to learn not to memorize. When your memorizing something your not really learning it.
- "Situated teaching avoids teacher-centered syllabi's and locates itself in the students culture."
- Children will learn better if what they are learning about is interesting and about them or their life.
This Reading was an easy read for me the only thing that bothered me with it is about the socialization part. My seven year old brother has social anxiety.
I agree with your 1st quote but its hard. Teachers tend to focus on having students be quiet. A lot of time is wasted on having them be quite instead of having them interact with eachother.
