I attended Emmaus High School, where I did receive a good education, but I thought the teaching style was boring. I feel like the teachers followed the book to the t and just regurgitated information at me. Critical thinking is very important for the rest of your life, and sometimes I feel a little behind other people who had a big experience with critical thinking in high school. I had teachers that asked you a question, and you answered it with a straight-forward answer, usually found in the text you were reading. I just feel that teachers should be more open with learning styles, and as long as students are learning what they are expected to learn, they way they learn it should be a more open.

Was it educational?

Hi Tori,
ReplyDeleteDo you think this is more the banking concept? What class group would you put your school in? Do you think this kind of education has affected you and your opportunities in life?

In relation to the teaching style, some of the teaching methods were boring at my high school as well. I like doing hands-on activities so I tried to take classes that would be more hands-on and group work. I learn better with notes and knowing what I need to know and then do practice problems along with the notes. I understand what it is meant by "boring" though, because some teachers were very straight forward and monotone.
