2. Schooling is an attempt to get children
interested in learning and educating
themselves in the world around them.
Schools try to instill these values in children
from the age of 4 to graduation at the average
age of 18.
Schooling is forcing kids to learn because of the
belief that they have no interest in learning on
their own and without guidance will fail in life.
3. Provides kids with a learning environment and
does succeed in teaching kids important life
lessons and morals.
Introduces kids to each other and helps with
social interaction between them.
A place where people keep track of your Childs
developmental milestones and can tell you
how well they are developing mentally.
4. One problem is that schooling is forced upon kids the
workload determined by teachers and they use these
methods to determine a child's intelligence.
This doesn’t take into account the child who cant find
interest in the work and so they don't do it. Teachers will
label them as being learning deficient when the truth is they
just have no interest in learning that material.
Which brings us to the next problem school systems have
the right to determine what they want to teach and what
their students should learn. How is that fair for the child to
have the future of their learning determined by someone
else?
5. Through a process known as reverse schooling
in which we wean people off of the subjective
norms of schooling and allow kids the
opportunity to learn following a more holistic
approach rather than what the school district
has deemed necessary information for
intellectual growth/stimulation.
6. This weeks reading on school connects to what
we’ve be discussing because it talks about
children's’ ability to learn within the school
setting.
This has been a recurring theme as of lately.
We’ve discussed how classroom environment
and layout effect the school and this ties in
because it discusses how the school system is
set up.
