What I found most significant from this course is that students have many alternative ways of learning. Just because a student does not do well on writting tests it does not make them stupid. The purpose of school for today’s students is no longer focused solely towards testing and ranking students on written work and tests, but to apply real life settings into student’s lives in order to improve their future lives. The goal of education is not to have students just be book smart by showing they can read and retain information and do well on a written test. Today’s students are motivated by a different force and that drive is to do well in life and earn a comfortable wage that can support themselves and one day a family. Young students are driven by what interests them but it is important for students to feel a sense of accomplishment and to feel good about themselve. This was a fun class and changed some of my previous views of education.
