We are still learning the exact way our older brothers and sisters learn with less paper and more screens. ]]> 2019-01-08 17:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318448887 ashlynpayne https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318454002 This a problem because we are a new generation with new ways of thinking and new ideas and new way to express of comprehending what we learn. Just like technology we are changing and the why of learning should bent and tweaked to fix us. In Socastee, where my 24 year-old sister and my 22 year-old brother went to school, we still have the same system of learning all but one thing. Their textbooks have been replaced by a computer. That generation might have gotten it back then but this is now were we are losing interest in school because we have been learning the same way for 10-13 years now!!!! When students loss interest drop out rates increase. ]]> 2019-01-08 17:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318454002 ashlynpayne https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318463909 Teach teachers to teach differently and get students involved with classroom actives that actual engages their brain and teach them what they need to know. The schools also need to focus on the students actual learning the material rather than worrying about the grade on the state test. Our state could cut some of the "required" state test that have no point but to see where you are. Teachers could also let us use our creativity to learn our own way and on top of that find a creative way that fits all learning styles. Instead of everyone sitting in class room all day let us learn out side. Don you thing it is kinda funny we learn ecology inside? We else, other than outside, can we find habits and natural section example than right outside of our own school. For history we could act out the parts the events we learned about. English, let us learn from our mistakes and let us talk about the books you force us to read. How else are we going to learn how to talk proper English if we never talk to each other. For math, Let us play a number game to become better math skills and focus skills and even how fast we think. Students can be open for change.]]> 2019-01-08 18:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318463909 ashlynpayne https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318475212 My sister told me that for math that gave her a work sheet and told her to take notes. She still does not how to figure her bank's interest rate. She said her English teacher made them sit in straight rows and write an essay on a book she could not get pass the first chapter because the book was too far above her reading level. She dropped out of Socastee High School all because of lack of interest and frustration. You are think well that is just one example, well here's another. My brother told me in science he got in trouble of doing his on experiment with non harmful materiel. Is that not the whole point of science, trail and error? His history teacher handed him a text book and told him to sit still and answer the question on the paper. He got in trouble for tapping his pen because he was restless. You might be saying to yourself, but it has changed. No it has not. I've had very similar experiences 7 to 10 years later after they have got out of high school. I am lucky enough to have met a few teachers where almost all of their students learned a lot of things in class and it stuck with them because of their different style of teaching. ]]> 2019-01-08 18:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashlynpayne/r14q09bmttlv/wish/318475212
