Discult To Guide : We Are Difficult To Guide

But in the teacher’s point of view they should be helping the kids not just showing how they don’t like the student. Also showing that the student isn’t as intelligent as the rest. In the woodshop incident although he has to go through woods, why can’t he help him after school or just a little in class piece by piece. Using delayed gratification, if you complete your first woods project, I’ll teach you a little about metal, rather than him being unsafe practicing it at home. Coming from a students perspective, once I knew a teacher didn’t like me that gave no reason to try and help learn the way they wanted to. Although this boy seems determined to learn, the teachers aren’t helping him with what he knows and adjusting to what he has to learn to pass. Teachers and Students need to come together to create a common goal for each student, making the classroom a place that is comfortable but also making the students eager to

“There is a thing called knowledge of the world, which people do not have until they are middle-aged. It is something which cannot be taught to younger people, because it is not logical and does not obey laws which are constant. It has no rules” (T.H. White).

Also, not having ASL as an accepted language yet he was forced to use his hearing aids and pathologists. All of these things were "roller coaster rides" for him, but his grandparents were always there for him and taught him a lot of important lessons growing up. Religion was also an integral part of his life, where he went through Judaism, Christianity, and Quakerism.

In this case study, first year third grade teacher, Maggie Lindberg, is having trouble controlling her class. The children are well-behaved during their art period. However, when Ms. Lindberg is in charge, they are highly uncontrollable. They talk when they are not supposed to talk and they don’t listen to anything that Maggie says. There’s supposed to be a nature walk/field trip and Ms. Lindberg’s class has yet to complete the task.

The class teacher was telling the whole class that 4th grades have to do a social studies project. In which they have many options and that they should get started soon since they have 3 weeks to hand it in. One of the options is for the students to make an Iroquois longhouse, or to write their own Native American Legend, or to make a diorama describing a Native American scene that will capture their daily life and their government system. Lastly, was to create a PowerPoint presentation. Teacher told them that they shouldn't have any trouble doing this project, because they have been talking about Native American for a couple of weeks now. Mrs. Roush offer the class to use to computers or to print stuff whenever they wanted but that this project

If the student fails, the teacher fails. If the teacher cannot compel the student to do something, to use his own mind to solve a problem, then he has failed because the student was not successful.

This writer is in agreement with that claim to some extent, although she may be confusing arrogance with skepticism. There is a sense that we don’t need to know things because we have learned not to take things for face value. After all, we live in an increasingly complex world with new information that takes greater effort to decipher each day, a world where a prestigious new paper like the Washington Post publishes a piece disguised as an academic article written by an author only looking to bait people into buying her book, and then we ask why don’t people

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives” ~ James Madison

"It would be better not to know so many things than to know so many

Ignorance tends to play a big role when it comes to claiming knowledge. Often times people think that the amount of knowledge they have is enough and that it is unnecessary to expand it. In regard to people who think they know something when they don’t, Socrates says, “For they do not

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.

“ The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” ~ Stephen Hawking. The message that Stephen Hawking is trying to portray in this quote is that of, it is not the people that are in fact ignorant who are a threat to what we know, they in fact are still open minded to learning new things and new possibilities. The people that we should be most afraid of are those who think they know it all or who think they have all the answers. Those who have mindsets like this are more prone to being closed off to learning about different possibilities and points of view. This greatly ties in with the thought of: whether living is reality or living in pure ignorance is the best option. While living

Socrates, in skepticism, began a search for those with a reputation of wisdom. After studying men and their knowledge, he reasoned that the only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing. Although one may have extensive understanding in one area, there is way too much knowledge in the world to be contained by one man. Socrates stated, “I found that the men most in repute were all but the most foolish, and that some inferior men were really wiser and better” (Plato, 23). Those who believed that they knew it all could not be more ignorant, and those who admitted ignorance achieved the highest wisdom attainable on earth. Socrates accepted the idea that he, just like all men, contained very little or no wisdom at all. He was content with knowing this, and upon meeting others that lacked this philosophy, felt he was superior to them. He was unsure of the limitations the afterlife had on wisdom, but he was aware of it’s constraints on earth. This self awareness is what gifted him with the highest sense of enlightenment.

There are three teachers in the classroom, one does reading/lesson circle with a small group of students, another does arts and crafts, and one of them circulates throughout the room helping students with their work-plans. The teacher that circulates around the room all the time appears to be the head teacher and when a conflict arises she is the one to mediate it. The way that the teachers speak with the children is as if they are equals, they aren’t talked down to and the students give the teachers complete respect.

As the great Socrates ones said, that by admiting that you dont know anything, so you can learn something that is how I discover the things that I want to know. The only way of knowing things is the way of becoming conscious of our unknowing, so we can learn. Awareness of the unknowing is the beginning of knowledge. Thus, we can always look for the truth, but the best is if never said that we found it. We may just think of the truth. We may think of what is the truth different in mathematics, the arts and ethics, but let’s never be sure. That is the only way how we are going to become bigger and better people.
