1. Everyone learns differently
- I completely agree with this. All through my school years, I've struggled and I always thought that something was wrong with me and I still do. It's really hard for me to understand and comprehend a lot of materials that were taught to me.
2. That students learn best when they collaborate.
- I agree with this as well because it is easier to learn when you are working together with other students. You or someone could be struggling with something and by collaborating with other students you could find someone who understands what your struggling on

The French enjoyed much better relations with Native Americans than other European groups when they first came to American shores. Here are the reasons why.

There are all kinds of stories of hostilities between early American colonists and the Native people who were already there. However, these hostilities did not occur with every European group who came. The French are a notable exception to this, and in fact, enjoyed excellent relations with the Natives almost from the very beginning.

Why were the French different? The main reason is that they did not try to change the Natives. They also did not compete with the Natives for land. When the French first came to the Americas in the 1530s and 1540s to engage in seasonal fur trading, they immediately established strong trading ties with the local Natives they found there. The Natives already dealt extensively in furs.

The French quickly discovered they could go back to France in the winter months with ships laden with furs they had purchased from the Natives with European wares, such as metal cooking pots, weapons, horses, and other goods not accessible to the Natives at that time. The Natives also accompanied the French on hunting parties and showed them where the good fur animals could be found. The French made it a point to learn the Native languages and ways, and established good relations that were based on equality with all of the tribes in the area.

The French began to stay year-round in the early 1600s, establishing their first permanent settlement at Quebec in 1608, one year after the English founded Jamestown in Virginia. They did not displace any Natives in the establishment of their settlement and continued to work closely with them in the fur trade. They respected Native territories, their ways, and treated them as the human beings they were. The Natives, in turn, treated the French as trusted friends. More intermarriages took place between French settlers and Native Americans than with any other European group.

This close alliance, which was based on mutual respect and good treatment from both sides, led the Natives to side with the French in their conflicts with the English settlers that came later in the 1600s and into the mid-1700s. Relations between the Natives and the English were not nearly as good.

The English treated the Natives as inferior, believed they stood in the way of their God-given right to the land in America and tried to subject the Natives to their laws as they established their colonies. The Spanish didn't have any better relations with the Natives, as they tried to enslave them when they first came to America, and later established missions where they tried to force them to convert from their traditional religions to Catholicism. The Natives did not appreciate any of this.

The key to the friendly relations the French enjoyed with the Natives was all in the way they treated them when they first encountered them, and how they continued to treat them afterward. As long as the French maintained settlements in America, they enjoyed excellent relations with each other. For those who have early American French ancestry, or French settler ancestors who married Native Americans, the vast majority of those records can be found in the provincial archives of Quebec (some records there might lead back to France if the settler returned there with his Native American bride).

These records provide a fascinating look at relations between Natives and Europeans and show just how different things could have been if all the European people who came to America had been as progressive in their treatment of the Natives as the French were.

Kids in the classroom should be able to be creative and collaborative.
Everyone learns differently and at different rates.

-learning is adaptive; needs to be individualized and collaborative
-many students are pumped with medicine to "help" them focus when really they just need to be worked with in a more beneficial way

1) It's a little silly thinking everyone in the classroom will learn at the same rate just because of age               2) Standardized testing isn't a real accurate measurement of learning

Learning should be fun and interesting for students.
Divergent/ Creative thinking should be acceptable.

Everyone has the ability and capacity to learn
ADHD students should't be "silenced" because they learn differently

-That collaborating=growth
-That we should embrace in learning and be the teaching to wake kids up not make them be distracted and fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
-Its crazy that kids are grouped by their age, and then we are shocked when they aren't learning at the same rate
-we drug our kids in order for them to focus on the boring stuff when we should be letting them be creative

# data[].attributes.body
- making learning fun is more enjoyable for the students
- kids all learn differently so making sure your students ALL have a good understanding of what they know it crucial

learning shouldn't feel like pressure, it should be enjoyable
leaning should be collaborative

1 I agree about schools should be about collaboration.
2 I agree standardized testing isn't the best way to measure a kids learning.

education should focus on everyone's unique learning style
instead of medicating children, we should adapt to their needs.

# data[].attributes.body
1) This education system was not built for our current economic or cultural situation, and thus hardly benefits anyone
2) Every child learns in their own unique way, at a different rate, and that is something we should accommodate for in order to help students be the best they can be.

# data[].attributes.body
Being the same age doesn't mean everyone is at the same place education wise

Learning should be collaborative

# data[].attributes.body
Group Collaboration is the best way for students to learn.
The school system structure that we have right now is not very effective.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Schools need to focus less on structure and focus more on the independent learning abilities of each child
2. Schools are still based off the enlightenment and industrialization eras

- Collaboration is important in the classroom
- Everyone learns at different rates

1. not every kid learns at the same level even though in the same grade.
2. at this point in our education we are backtracking and doing more harm than good

# data[].attributes.body
-Learning should be collaborative
-Not everyone learns the same way, so teachers should have multiple creative ways of teaching

# data[].attributes.body
1. Group work and collaboration is extremely important but also that some students work better in different group sizes or even individually.
2. Learning should not be linear and standardized testing is becoming a bigger issue.

One is ADHD and how they just give pills willy nilly. Second is standardized testing being a not so great idea.

1. Instead of putting kids with ADHD to "sleep" with medications with should try a different approach.
2. Not every student learns the same way and they learn at different rates.

# data[].attributes.body
1. All kids learn at a different rate, but have the ability to learn the same things
2. Learning should be collaborative and fun
