It would seem that younger teachers might relate better to students, but this does not seem to be the case. The Hispanic students noted that teachers often gave them the answers, but did not explain how to arrive at the answers. It seems there is a wall between students and teachers that grows the longer the teacher is in the educational system, and that gives students a definite disadvantage. I am not sure how to conquer this, but it is clear it needs to be addressed and managed for educational opportunities to be effective and legitimate for all students, regardless of their background and youth culture.
It is not surprising that families play a vital role in the culture of youth, but it is surprising that family, and educating educators how to effectively deal with and include families in the process, is so lacking, especially as the student progresses through school. The text notes, "Researchers Hargreaves and Fullan claim, 'Nowhere is the two-way street of learning more in disrepair and in need of social reconstruction than [in] the relationship among parents, communities, and their schools'" (Tozer, Senese, and Violas 476). Frankly, this seems to be one of the most vital areas to understand, and yet, it seems to be at the bottom of the educational list. I would reconstruct...
For example, the authors call for inner-city teachers who are not afraid of their students or the neighborhoods where they live (Tozer, Senese, and Violas 486). That makes sense, but in reality, how many teachers does that really describe, and where is a district supposed to get these teachers? It is clear that there are many problems in education with youth and youth culture, and solving them is extremely complex. It is also clear that something must be done to help educators become more flexible and understanding of youth cultures as they grow and evolve for education to be effective and serve its purpose.
In conclusion, learning is much more than simply sitting in a classroom and understanding, or standing in front of the classroom and teaching. It is a complex mechanism of culture, influence, community, and family. To be a successful educator, we must understand and appreciate all these influences, and understand the children as they struggle to become viable adults. This chapter gives insight into the culture of youth and how this culture affects their learning abilities and desires. It is eye opening, even if it is a little disconcerting at the same time.
This needs to be role modeled by the peers and adults with whom the young child comes in contact. When children observe this strong positive interest in learning, be it through reading books, playing word games, telling stories or many other activities, they will surely follow suit. First, they have an innate desire to learn. Second, they want their actions to receive a positive reaction. Third, more than anything,
Education I support most of what Robinson is saying that video. The core of his argument is that the education system geared more towards creating workers than thinkers, and that does seem to be the natural outcome of a lot of decisions in the education system. Schools that remove arts, physical education and other such classes to focus on standardized test subjects are being economically motivated to churn out workers. This

) The State of Education in Third World Countries Third World countries, by definition, include the poorest and the most underdeveloped. Most of them, therefore, are severely lacking in most development indicators including education and literacy levels. So even though, it is now universally recognized that education is the most cost-effective factor in improving the quality of life, both at the individual and at the collective level, millions of people in poor,
Education The definition of an educated person has no doubt altered over time. Certainly, many people have tried to formulate the ultimate definition of what an educated person is, and what achieving that state might entail. In my earliest thoughts about the subject, I probably thought an educated person was probably my grandmother; she seemed so wise, and certainly, I never asked her anything for which she didn't have an answer,
When this phase is complete, the assessment phase can begin. Step 7: Assessment Assessment will occur on two basic levels: informal and formal. Informal assessment will occur during the group work process, where each group is assessed for its ability to cooperate and learn from each other. A value out of 10 is assigned for each group, where higher values denote a higher level of cooperation. Formal assessment will occur in two
