Know I Learned In Kindergarten

“What I Learned as a Kid in Jail” is a speech given at a TEDTalk convention to a group of young men and women delivered by Ismael Nazario, a prison reform advocate where he does work for The Fortune Society, a non profit organization. Nazario was arrested when he was just under eighteen for robbery and sent directly to Rikers Island where he spent 300 days in solitary confinement, before ever being convicted of the crime. Nazario’s goal in delivering his speech to a group of younger men and women is to make them aware of the way correctional officers treat younger inmates and how inmates should be spending their time doing productive activities and understanding they do not have to go back to the life they were living. Nazario accomplished this goal by sharing personal stories from his past experiences.

The flaw with this kind of teaching is that it could create rebels who do not completely understand the idea of what it is to be a free thinker. It doesn't mean that they should just turn everything into anarchy and do as they please; it just means that they should be cautious of the information they are learning because not everything they learn is completely right all the time. Sometimes we must be able to argue with the text and consider our own opinions and beliefs.

We need to teach kids to everyday skills and knowledge so that they will be better equipped to face real world challenges. This country focuses a little too much on standardized testing compared to the emphasis on the developmental growth of a child. Focusing on these curriculums will cater to any level of knowledge a child has. An example of this are CPR classes when a child is in high school. My high school made me take these classes. I can say that knowledge like this is very important for a child to learn. We shouldn't stick to the basics when it comes to education in our schools. Rather, we should try to get kids familiar with other educational

All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten is a short essay by Robert Fulghum explaining in detail everything we learned in kindergarten and how it is all we really need to know in life. The text by Robert Fulghum explains the human flaw of getting so caught up in finding meaning and purpose to life, that we do not recognize that all we need for a successful life has already been taught to us, in kindergarten. This meaning is demonstrated throughout the text by the use of, imagery, tone, and structure.

“She wanted to teach us about consequences”(104). She encouraged students to face difficulties without fear so that they learned to be competitive. Miss Hattie made it clear for her students that there are more chances to succeed if they know more and are well organized. She was focused on her students understanding of “the fundamentals right” (104) to be equipped for any activity they chose to do. To her, knowledge itself was nothing if students did not know how to use, manipulate, and present it. Basics fulfill knowledge and help to pick only trustworthy information; it’s like the skeleton on which everything can grow, depending on a person’s basic beliefs.

It is simple, follow these steps, and you will be happier. Robert Fulghum wrote the book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. In this book he mentioned three major, but simple lessons: put things back where you found them, play and work some everyday, hold hands and stick together. These important rules for kindergarten are also important rules for life, and apply to our everyday lives.

“The human mind is our fundamental resource,” John F Kennedy. When I was little, my parents always guided me towards expanding my intellectual horizons. I quickly learned what JFK had expressed long before my time, that my mind was my core asset. In elementary school I would spend every moment not spent doing homework or playing outside watching whatever documentary I could get my hands on. I would often ask my dad to teach me new math concepts, or my mom to take me to the library. All of this made school a breeze, I did not need to put forth the same effort other students did. I learned a lot, but the most important lesson did not come from my parents or books.

Kindergarten is a fun time for most students. Although it is mostly fun, much can be learned during this year of youngsters life. In the Robert Fulghum’s book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten he list some simple lessons that everyone should follow. He says to put things back where you found them, work and play some every day and hold hands and stick together. The world would be a better place if we could follow these rules.

Considering the history of America, there have been quite a few drastic changes – both good and bad – in the past two centuries, especially for African Americans. From slavery, to unequal rights, there have been several events in history that has created a form of unity for blacks and whites. From those events led by Black Activist and protesters who felt that enough was enough and that it was time to bring about a change birthed the Civil Rights Movement. Although this was not the first movement, it was definitely one that made a lasing impact. Even more specifically the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

When we leave middle school, the first thing we take with us is what we’ve learned

Each of the views I have read about in this lecture holds some merit with me. Gardner makes some notable points in the video about individuals taking an active role in what they are learning. Howard Gardner believes we should be asking questions, and using hands-on experiences or the information retained is very limited. He also suggests that we teach too many subjects, cover too much information and the result once more is a very limited knowledge of each topic. I have often heard from kids…Why do I need to know this, unless I am going to be a Nuclear Physicist or…?

In the fall of 1989 a book by Robert Fulgham was published, the title being All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. In this book Fulgham lists lessons: simplicity, less stress, and more happiness. These three simple life lessons can help us through any problem we have in our day to day life. And these lessons that we learn at such a young age can help us through any challenge.

During these two weeks my learning activities have been focused on the creation of our power point presentation, as well as the cause and effect diagram. We started with the Cause and Effect Analysis. With this analysis, we want to find and verify the critical causes that potential impact to the PACU workflow process. Consequently, a set of recommendation will be presented to the CCF OR management team.

In the book “All I Really Need to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulgham, he states lessons that are taught to kindergarteners. Three simple life wisdoms people should remember are, put things back where they were found, play some and work some every day, and hold hands and stick together. Although these wisdoms are being taught to the younger children, they need to be brought to the older generations’ attention, because we are forgetting these rules day after day.

It’s obvious why it’s important to know about the world before joining it. I mean you can’t go out there not knowing anything. Imagine trying to go into the world with no job and without any knowledge of it. You would be homeless. You can not go out into the world expecting people to treat you like your mom would. Bosses, bank tellers, landlords, and just normal people are not going to pack your lunch and send you out the door with a sweet note. In the real world it’s everyone for themselves. I mean yeah there are nice people. And yes, some old ladies may treat you like you mom does, but they are not your mom. You need to go out into the world with a plan. You need to know what career you want. You need to know how to budget so that you can
