I
found three quotes in this article I like. Here I will discuss what the quotes
mean to me and relate them to articles I read throughout this semester. The
first quote I choose is from the topic Resisting Endullment: The Performance
Strike. “Nonparticipatory institutions depress the performance levels of people
working in them.” As the article continued on to say that students are refusing
to perform at high levels and non-participating students are labeled or looked
at as not knowing the information. This quote is relatable to the freedom writers
the students were labeled as not knowing the information but the teacher had to
change the curriculum to meet their needs. Everyone learns at a different pace.
The
second quote I choose is from the topic Integrating Cognitive and Affective
Learning. “The difference between empowering and traditional pedagogy has to do
with the positive or negative feelings students can develop for the learning
process.” As the article continued on to
say that students compete against one another. I agree with this quote and I can
relate it to the Indian Fathers Plea. This is somewhat relatable to me in
regards to the tutor cite. I have observed the students competing with one
another and on the other hand they help each other during different task.
The
last quote I choose was from the topic of starting from every day to know and
overcome it. “By starting from the student’s situation problem-posing increase
their ability to participate, because they can begin critical reflection in
their own context and their own words. I agree with this quote because students
are able to understand a subject matter through dialogue instead of the traditional
teacher approach standing in front of the class teaching. Similarly to our
class we are able to discuss and give our perspective on any given topic and
learn from each other.
Here is a short clip of Ira Shor from his perspective as a parent, in regards to his son experience in a small school environment.
