He educated his self among other things with doing research to have facts to back up his claims. That dedication would stand out to readers as someone who cares. In his essay he fought the fight because he knew a lot of hard work occurred in blue collar jobs than people thought. Rose isn’t saying don’t go to college if you want to and can you should. He is establishing a friendly and informative style of writing so his chosen audience of young adults don’t have to feel less of themselves because they’re not living up to society standards.
He believes that one should live their life learning from their “mother and nurse and father and tutor” (18). One should follow in their footsteps “and if [they] obey, well and good; if not, [they are] straightened by threats and blows, like a piece of bent or warped wood.” It is his process of education. Protagorean moral education mainly gives a person habits, not knowledge, because they have to follow a certain pattern. Protagoras thinks by following these patterns, a person will be morally just. Socrates believes that there is moral knowledge but it cannot be taught.
People know about their culture through families or other significant people. Joaquin says, I must fight and win this struggle for my sons, and they must know from me who I am. In other words, the narrator vows to beat said conflict of prejudice. This shows how determined people from certain backgrounds other people consider inferior but simply shrug off those beliefs by teaching their children about who they are or risk having the culture completely swallowed by another.
Perricone’s Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching One of the main theories that Perricone presents in his book is the idea that “we teach who we are.” This idea represents the concept that we as educators cannot expect to be effective teachers if we don’t even know who we are as individuals. We have to look deep into ourselves and determine what makes us who we are, not just the physical aspects, but our internal, psychological, and social aspects as well. I think if we truly understand what is important to ourselves, we can then translate that into the values we produce in our teaching. Just as students don’t tend to care about education unless they can find meaning in it on a personal level; I don’t think teachers can teach in a truly meaningful way without it having value for them too. I know as a future health and physical education teacher, this is an extremely valuable insight to have.
Although our work has been validated by a research scholar and eminent writer such as Rose, what is most important is how this book is put to use. Readers of this book will come away with a renewed faith in the possibilities of public education. But they must not stop there. There are those in our society who would prefer not to have to pay for the education of the poor, the disenfranchised, the nonconformists. There are those who wish to portray public education as a failed experiment.
There are many ways I could serve other with my education, by doing my work for this country, by serving the ones that are less fortunate than I, and to teach the next generation of not just students, but also people that motivation and inspiration are the keys to success and that they should never give up. First, I'd try to do my work in this world by what I am taught in my classroom and applying it to the real world. I would use the morals that my teachers use in the classroom in a world that desperately needs my intelligence, and my sense of service. There is no justice in this world and I would use my education to try and apply it to where it needs to be like: in the world, in the courts, in the prisons, in the fields, in the study and in the classroom, at home and abroad. A second way I'd use my education to serve others is by serving the people that are less fortunate than I am.
I can only imagine how an instructor would have felt to be the mentor of Malcolm, if he had an instructor. It would have made the instructor's true purpose in which he/she went in the profession to come true. The purpose of changing ones life through education. To hand down knowledge to another human being is as if the instructor give a part of him/herself to the student. Due to Malcolm’s self education he continued to developed his mind.
A Comparison of Paulo Freire and William Brickman Paulo Freire and William Brickman were both advocates for educational freedom and had significant impacts on their areas of focus. This paper takes a look at each man’s professional goals and contributions, the resistance they faced, how they differed, and the factors that had an impact on their success. Freire’s Contributions Paulo Freire believed education was a tool that could either set the learner and teacher free or oppress the student while putting the teacher in an oppressor role. Traditionally, students were given deposits of knowledge by the teacher without any thought or respect to his or her lived experiences. Freire called this the ‘banking’ concept (Flanagan, 2005).
This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing. There may be a lot of different things going on when it comes to discipline that a parent of a student with special needs does not understand and this chapter could given them a good insight to the reasons behind the actions. Also it would give parents the resources they need to maybe challenge what the school is doing if the school does end up over stepping their role in disciplining a student
It is not an effective way to correct positively. Rogers talks about separating the behavior from the person. By giving "take up time" the teacher lets the student save face in front of his classroom. He suggests giving directions and immediately walking away. I believe this is a great way for students to be able to make a choice about their behavior.
