Education / Reform / Creativity

The Need for educational reform...hmmm

Watch this clever and artistic video on the current state of education.  Its main idea is that education is destroying creativity and that children need to learn differently.

1. Retell 3 main or interesting bits of evidence that the video showed

2. Do you agree or disagree

3. How are you able or unable to be creative at school? 

Answer all 3 questions

Pick 2 other students to engage in dialogue with and debate the issue of creativity.   

Rebound Chapter 3/4

Hey 80AYYY

We are getting to know more things about David.  He is obviously skilled and knowledgable in the game of basketball .  Sean threw the ball soft and slow just as Mrs Burke had spoken loud and slow to David. It seems everyone instincevly displays pity towards David.  

Is it ok for Sean, Mrs Burke, Mr McCulley, or anyone to feel sorry for and act accordingly for someone who is handicapped? 

Things to consider in your response ; how would you act , what are the cultural expectations, conscious and unconscious bias, create a hypothetical situation and evaluate. 

Make your response and respond with 2 other posts.

Hey Team 80AYYY, this is your first blog of the year.  

To introduce ourselves to blogging we will simply answer one question

1. Why do you think Mrs. Burke spoke loudly and slowly to David? And strangely why was David all smiles when Mrs. Burke touched his chair after erupting at Sean for doing the same thing?
