Why teaching of proof is to destroy the individuality of teachers
I am a kindergarten teacher and my partner is very open to allow me to "make things according to my own teaching style. However, state and national do not seem to be more the norm, and destroys the teaching and student learning as we know it.
Just take a look at their own "best" teachers to grow. Are not all types of "doing their own thing" rather than just read a manual peak your interest?
We have to re-let teachers teach as they see fit! Want to get in a doctor's office and say: Hey, do not not use the knife, use a story published by Dupont, it will cut faster. Only your doctor is comfortable with the blade and is used to record breaking year of surgery and recovery time.
However, in our educational system, high drop Officials say exactly what our teachers need to teach, when to teach, how to teach, and pay timetable slots for learning the spelling of 30 min, 60 min in mathematics, etc. When will they stop? The latest addition to our neighborhood is "there will be an ELD hour" each day and has a time window for it, or will be called to the carpet on it.
I have news for all the government know-it-all there. None of us grew up with indoctrination and the best teachers in the world, do not stay disciplined in the cracks of time teaching and mandated teaching styles.
Listen to what my teachers have never left your brand. It was Mr. K, who was making a simulated virtual country in the 5th year. All we had to create our own country, on paper. I think Mr. K was alone had a computer at the time, and I think it's the first PC of Bill Gates. There was a screen in black and white with gold letters on it. But Mr. K does not stop that's it!
Mr. K gave me the task of being president "Bilmore" the smallest of all countries, and I was in charge of the military, economy is communication with other countries, and the budget. I was delighted, and I had to learn about the implementation of a country in a hurry!
Well, long story short, I and my team of five other friends had to manage the documentation bit every day or "notes" that Mr. K hand country would have been difficult or prizes on a daily basis. Based on the fact that our country, "Bilmore" was the world's smallest, geographically, and the economy in some other country is at risk, all other countries had written in his roles as an objective: to destroy and take over Bilmore.
Well, I remember the day she received the role of Mr. K who has just declared war on us by all countries, and that we must strike at 8am the next morning. By Therefore, as president, I was given the task, with our limited military (which had a few good weapons, but a smaller combat force) to protect my country from a crisis in the world.
Well, I did what the president did better in this situation, and I received advice from the smartest in my life: my best friend "Chip". I called him, as young people and on the phone as usual to see what happens, and I explained the problem Bilmore him, and my need making a presidential decision. His wit me surprised. Chip said, "Take five of its largest reservoirs, and place on the islands off the coast of each port. Then, to do you start firing a missile while blowing in the opposite forces. Follow this through the smoke, with all his best fighters F-15 and take through the fog, while armed approaching be informed of how many fighters are shooting at them, trick them into believing they are against an air strike attack mass.
Then he said, take a submarine under the water and put them at the same time, they also have several small military boats on the surface of water, making it appear that they are undermanned and outgunned, so that ends armed well enough for tanks to destroy the enemy approached.
Chip plan worked, and he ordered tanks to fire at 8:00 in five separate armed in the air and the sea hit us hard. When tanks shot flew the first boats to smithereens and smoke rose above the eye. He also ordered an air strike completely my best F-15 fighters, and were all the planes, while nine, since he had a small military force. The F-15 destroyed a dozen planes in the smoke, and every single army declined due to the smoke and took evasive maneuvers to retire at the speed of light. I also ordered my submarines to fire as soon as the big boats had our small boat on his radar.
I saved my country that day. Bilmore continued to prosper, and become one of the strongest countries in the world, because we have made the armies to surrender, and there are whole economy, money, oil, everything. This country is one who has sworn to another: "We will destroy Billmore. In reality our F-15's Cut along the south shore and were forced to surrender their weapons and helicopters point!
Anyway, I said everything to a single point, the simulation of "Country" took about two months. However, when all is said and done, hands on experience of the hand how to run a country and serve as President and Commander in Chief!
We have to stop doing our teachers teach according to the manual, and teach in these tests state and nothing else. No Child Left Behind has incredible goals, but implementation of these objectives is the creation in May students who are more like robots learning that they can actually cope with society in general.
My point is to remind officials that we can not take the individuality of teachers, we can not say "All children can and will do the same." Is not it a bit like communism? However, he slipped, and here we, as educators, having said that "they have to raise test scores" at any price.
Test scores will rise above where they are Now when we give teachers the freedom to be yes and yes, follow the mandates of the results of examinations of the district have increased, but doing it in a creative that only the teacher can express.
My teacher comes, I will never forget was Ms. Mercer. She had done a research paper of 85 pages in high school! I never had to big of a paper in college or in my master's program. She prepared us. She locked us up in success, and he believed us. She taught us to stand and walk in a room. There were other comments on our attitude and behavior.
Ms. Mercer wrote a reference letter to a prospective employer to keep me as a part of every package I presented CV. She said: "It's the Don Alexander of the world, which makes it great. Never I've seen anyone before who exemplifies the term "gentleman," as Don Alejandro did. These words changed my life. These words were the reason that graduated from college with 3.9 GPA and has become a teacher and assistant principal.
However, it now seems that in this crazy world we all are so consumed with results examinations, test results, and test scores! Yes, we need high test scores. But we must also look more closely individuality of students and especially the individuality of the teacher.
I fear God if you do not stop taking the individuality of our teachers, we become like any third world country that has no real meaning or dreams for our students. If this is America and we know that our country, we must defend against those who come to our classrooms, and the strength of our teachers to teach the way they see fit.
And … If we do something about it soon, which will be our grandchildren who will suffer most. So, please, write your representative Congress asks school district meetings and do everything possible to ensure that our teachers are not told how to teach. It is the largest "Wrong" I can not think of our precious students.
Protection Education United States this year and vote for a candidate that teachers return to their creative freedom, but above all, vote and pray every day for his son and Mr K Mrs. Mercer of this world, and pray that our government does nothing to dissuade them from doing what they do best: Teach.
