RE: Public Schooling Didnt Teach Me How To Read...The "Goosebumps" Series Did That.
I'm feel sorry that you didn't learn from your teacher. As a public school teacher, I'm currently contemplating if I am horrible in teaching too. I hope not. Despite that, I do agree with you that students learn differently. It's just that, it's pretty tough to cater all those differences especially without resources. Although, I am trying my best to be an effective teacher. :-)
I don't think it is a problem with the teachers, I think it is a problem with the system. The system tries to put all of the children in the same box when every human being is different and learn differently. Many of the teachers are victims in this too. They are forced to teach in a certain way, when many times they would like to use their own judgement.
I did have a few good teachers along the way who encouraged me to keep writing, but they werent afraid to do things a bit differently.
Because it's easy for them to say, "If you don't like the system, get out from the system." That's definitely not a good idea for someone who's relying in the job. So, sometimes, we're left with no choice. Sadly.
yea absolutely, those few cool teachers that I had really made my day so much easier to get through. When I would get into those teacher's classrooms I felt like it was my one hour of real learning every day lol.
I'm glad your it wasn't that horrible. That teacher must really be outstanding for you to remember him or her. :D
