Throughout this course, many different aspects of education have been discussed and argued, whether in the articles we've read or the essays we've written. Education has so many elements to consider when one is presents with the task of defining it. In the classroom, education is meant to have a solid base that students will need to have in order to move on to higher education. However, this solid base should be flexible to allow for changing times, such as incorporating advances in technology. Joey's presentation on technology in the classroom and the article "Floating Foundations" support this argument.
Also, education does not mean taking notes, memorizing dates or formulas, and taking tests on the information thrown at students. Education should allow for growth in the subject which comes from critical thinking and what information is retained by the students. Students should be able to interact with teachers during their schooling. Education is experience. One learns from what one experiences; so, by interaction and the use of critical thinking to question and relate different topics in the classroom will allow students to be exposed. "Living Savage Inequalities" depicts this interaction with the 5th grade class and how they learned to think critically about their school's present state and were able to write to higher powers about their ideas and concerns.
Education is such a complicated topic. No wonder it's a difficult thing to achieve.
Research Question: How would one plan to engage and involve their student body in the classroom? (Teacher's ideas and tactics to engage students to allow for critical thinking.)
