I am aware I have not blogged in a long time I have been busy with many different things. Things at work have been very busy with working on receptions show which they perform this week I have been able to use all my delivery skills i have learnt on previous courses. also i have teamed up with Natalia hyson (another student on this course) and she has choregraphed a dance for children at my school who will be performing it at the dance festival for schools. It has been a good process making me feel its the road id love to go down.
On that note, I will briefly discuss my feelings on teaching today. It has become past the point of bout the individual child it is now all about statistics and meeting certain criterias. for children at the age of 4 and 5 they are expected to be writting a sentence hen really half of them need to be taught how to play and socialize properly but that side if it gets lost due to how many observations me and the teacher have to do through out the day.
A student came in the other week with a survey on whether children should be schooled later or ealier, this really got me thinking... as you may know n most countries children do not start school until they are 7 where as here legally it's 5. i agree with taking children to nursery or play school for social reasons, however in a learning aspect for too much is expected of them. yes if you have a good teacher the child can move on so quickly but some children get left behind because we have to concerntarte on getting scores high and assessements done.
that is just a touch on what i have been thinking about lately i shall hopefully soon get a chance to tslk about web 2.0!!
