I used to think… | Rethinking Public Education | Scoop.it
My students are competent to show me what they need. I'm becoming a better teacher by giving up a lot of what I used to think.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

How do I comment?  One of the BEST entries ever!  How courageous! Major applaud.  

 

"I used to think that some kids weren’t cut out for school. They were lazy, unmotivated, and not “academic,” as if being academic was the most important thing in the world. Now I’ve come to realize that it’s the cutout school that’s the problem. Kids love to learn and do it quite naturally. They just might not be buying what I’m selling."
