Blog Post 6

This week in class we had a good discussion on what makes a good teacher. It was a very good discussion because we looked at the concept of Banking Education. I felt that the concept was one that wanted to teach kids all the same way and only one way was right and if the kids did not pick up on it then they miss out. I particularly am not a fan of the banking education method because it does not give the students any type of room to express themselves or to show the creativity that they have. Our post-it note activity was very good because everybody had very different things that they thought were important and many different quotes that we all picked. The question that I asked the class was that "What do you think an educated individual is?". In the book it says "the educated individual is the adapted person, because she or he is better fit for the world."We got many different responses for the question but i do agree with the book a little because people do need to have the ability to adapt to the many changes that they are faced with throughout the world. This defiantly made me think about what a educated person is.
