10B - ARE YOU ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL? by EDWARD KEITH MOORE https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc WHO ARE YOU? WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU? WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION DO YOU WANT? DO YOU NEED NO EDUCATION? ARE YOU PART OF THE WALL?

I also think that education is very important regarding to the type of society we want to build in the future and specially the role we want to have in it. This is why I don´t ever want to be another brick in the wall, and I hope no one does, since each one of us is gifted with so many talents that will complent the wrold in wich we live in just to be just another brick in the wall.]]> 2020-08-21 17:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691899345 Maria Fernanda Lozano https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691899544 By saying "I need no education" Pink Floyd's message can be very misleading for people who have no clue in being openminded and critical thinkers. Nobody needs a type of  education created on the solid rules of opression, limitation of aptitudesof the individual,and the abuse of power by the figures who represent it, in this case teachers,but it can also happen in terms of government and even if our household. Schools shouldn't be factories  where duplicates are built, not  in terms of looking the like each other but in thinking the same. This kind of education that is being portrayed by the video and the lyrics destroys in every possible way the developing of feelings, values, and conscious knowledge on ourselves and the surrounding; it becomes the so famous wall which this band has been warning us for so long not to be part of .
People say education is the best weapon, but what many people don't see is that it is a double-edged weapon because what you give is what you will get. When you build up subjugated students, then subjugated citizens it's what you get.When you percieve that power is the finest way of survival, then you can predict the outcome.
To finish, I'll answer the first questions. Who am I and what Kind of person am I? Not sure yet, just someone happy for being openminded and having a critical thinking. What kind of education do you want?Surely not one that builds this kind of walls.]]> 2020-08-21 17:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691899544 Paula Cancino G. :) https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691899642  The walls limit, the limits blindI think the purpose of Roger Waters when writting this song was not to demerit education as a right and need for human development. On the contrary, i find it very satirical  against the system that believed (or believes) learning must be an imposition of controlling and not understoon information; becoming another brick on the walls we create to "protect" and hide ourselves. Being "another brick on the wall" doesnt mean being ordinary, or boring. It consists of making sure to cover, distort, and bury very well the true and organic beings we all are. In other words, contributing to distance ourselves from ourselves.

This is the moment were i´m finding myself and looking after what i want to become, and education has a big roll on it. That´s why i need education, and the open mind version school is 
instilling us, it´s perfect to achieve my goal. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691899805 Catalina Gómez https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900030 I think we all have different ideas of education, some of us always follow the rules because we are scared to show who we really are, we are scared of being judged and some of us break the paradigm. In school I have experienced that if you are different you get judged and they try to make you change to fit in with others. This is why I don't consider myself another brick in the wall, because I have proven myself that being judged and brought down by someone else doesn't define you and if you are good at those things the only opinion that matters is yours. Obviously we need to be educated, but in previous years when I was smaller teachers didn't know how to motivate us and I didn't like learning. In other years I have met people who believe in their students and give them great times when it comes to learning. In my opinion this is the education we need, the only education that should exist.]]> 2020-08-21 17:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900030 Manuela Pinto https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900297 I consider that eductation is necessary for learning basic concepts that will help us in our life, but the most important part of education is to develop critical thingking and the different abilities that in each person are different, in order to not be another brick in the wall. If everyone got to be a brick in the wall development and progress in the society will stop completely, because there wouldnt be anyone thinking out of the box and creating new things and solutions for daily life problems; and also everything will turn out to be very boring. Thats why I dont want to be another brick in the wall, but instead build my own unique wall that will contribute in the great building of society that is constantly changing.]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900297 Mariana Peña https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900327 I don't want to be another brick in society's wall. I want to be able to think for myself and stand for my opinions and ideas; as well,  I think education is really important for growth, personal development and also for being able to support your thought and beliefs. I want to have a kind of education in which I have the liberty to think beyond of what is standard and stablished, one in which I can have my perspective of life but still knowing the basics of it and how have we get there.  I want to be part of this society, but not for what they want or need me to be for it to "work", but for my own self, knowing that there is so much more to be and to be done than the "ideal".

However, the educational system should focus on the stregnths, likes and aptitudes each student has rather than focusing  in memorizing things that won't contribute to what each person wants. I want to be a brick on a wall that includes different ideals, models and concepts that help with the progression of society, but I don't want to be in a wall in which opression and the violation of my rights are present.

In fact, I think people have misinterpreted the song because they haven't seen the movie or listened to the other 2 parts of the song that make up the whole story. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900689 Maria Alejandra Hernández https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900855 It is a very tough and critical analysis of the educational system. As well I share that perspective, I don't agree  with the typical education we receive. We shouldn't be transformed into uniformed beings, each the same as the other. Sometimes school policies try to destroy our unique essence by define us into a grade, a number, a result. The truth is that every single person has different abilities that in many ways will surely contribute to our society. Schools and teachers should just encourage us to take action and to be more involved as global citizens without smashing our self confidence. Its important to be challenged as a student, to start asking what will you like to improve in the society, to develop your own principles and ideologies; but without a numerical judgement of the result, instead lets focus on the process it toked. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900855 Tatiana Silva https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900866 Education is fundamental for us so that we develop new skills. We would become more bricks in the wall without them, and wouldn't be able to advance and evolve. But in order to gain these skills, we need to be motivated to learn, which is possible by making education more fun for all of us. This can be achieved by not memorizing the information, but truly learning it and being inspired by it. If all of us learn this and are really inspired we could build a new wall, with more ideas, beliefs and cultures. That's a wall worth being part of. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900866 Gabriela Castro https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900879 I’m that kind of person who thinks kindness, love, and respect should be the base of everything because what makes us big and brilliant in life is the quality of human beings we are. No matter how much money or how much knowledge, what really matters and has true value is who we are in the deep of our hearts. That’s why I think a good education is that one that seeks to construct students who have big hearts, who are open minded, and who dream big without stepping on other’s. If it’s gonna be like that, of course I need education!!! However, if education is just going to make me weaker , and if it is going to control my mind by teaching me how to feel, what to like, and who I must be, then education is a waste of time. We need an education that first than all teaches we are not another brick in the wall!!]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691900879 Gabriela Fernández Díaz https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691901959 From my point of view education is one of the most important things in life, because it help us gather general knowledge about the world and at the same time help us form in our values and personality. But at the same time I agree with the song because it represents how the educational system has been broken during the last decades and It is calling the world to star a change. It's calling the world to bring back hope and let people be who they really are. Because whenever education loses its values so do we. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691901959 Laura Parra https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691902627 I am a person a that think that love, friendship, honesty and respect is very important in the daily life, because that is what make us shine in thiese dark world, that thinks that education is the success of everything. I think that education is very importat but not for everybody, because every one decides what is necessary in their dayly life, school is helping me to achieve my goals because they teach and give me tips to help me in everything. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691902627 Ana Sofía García https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691902698 I think that education is essential to life. However, as time passed education has changed and the things that were important before as years pass they became less important. There are many educational methods that include different ways to teach. And being another brick in the wall doesn´t help. In my opinion, nowadays the education system is not the best. Teachers are suffering students with a lot of information and some times motivation is missing. Besides, I believe that everyone should have an education, even if their economic status varies. Since everyone needs education to develop and grow as a society. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691902698 Andrea Tremolada https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903138 I think education is important; however, I consider that the system that has been presented  throughout the years never take into account that something essential for learning and teaching is motivation. Teachers should stop seeing its students like "Another brick in the wall" and should understand that they have its own opinions ,thoughts ,feelings, ideologies that they have to respect .Likewise, teachers need to realize that education not only contributes in academics aspects but should contribute to its students so they could be better persons each day. If this things are change students would be motivated to learn and would be inspired by its teachers what will be very satisfactory for both groups. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903138 Sara Niño https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903199 Through my perspective i think anyone has to be another "brick in the wall", since the education doesn't define who you really are as a person ,only because that is what society tell us to do or basically what path to follow; meaning that it isn't wrong if you thought about other kind of plans for your life or other perspectives you could have about it. Reminding always every person is a totally different world and that in society we need more people with values and moral education, who contribute to the growth of our society, more than people who memorize concepts who could be acquired in every moment of your life which you couldnt do with learning how to be a better person. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903199 Samara Martinez https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903318 I think that at this moment we need to be more than just "ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL"  and I think that although we may think that our education system have had a big change through the years well it doesn't have. Albert Einstein said “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” so I think that if you want to be a genius the school needs to show us in what are abilities we have and we know we are good at it and then we just focused on them so we can work on them and developed so then we can apply our abilities to our daily life and little by little the world is going to change.]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903318 Mariana Henriquez https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903596 I think society has always been controlling since civilizations started and we got used to follow some type of rules and standards which suposedly make us better. Those standards are really valuable in terms of organization because they help to have more peace and control for everyone to learn the same things. But they also prevent us to think for ourselves and create our own rules, standards and forms of living. I think that we do need education but a more open minded one which could help us to be more critic, to learn things by heart and to understand the really important things such as discipline, respect, action, proactivity and creativity. I really don't think that I'm part of the wall. I have the bless to study at a school which clearly is conscious about the things we really need to learn, but I would love to learn more about the things I love and move me, rather than things that are not from my best interest.]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691903596 Mariana Bula https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691904155 I believe education is important when we are talking about how we want ourselves to relate with other people, learn about how to "survive" in the world and how to treat people. On the other hand, if we think about school education i think its just about learning basic things that everyone else knows so i guess thats really important too, otherwise you would never be able to have a conversation with anyone else or maybe think further about many situations because school also teaches us how to stand up for ourselves. Even though its important sometimes i feel the education system just doesn't understand that we need to learn more about our present and not about the past and maybe change the way of learning because if they keep trying to make us memorize things and just judge us because of the grade we got in a test no one is going to be successful then. But if it was not for the education i have received i feel that i would probably not be how i am today and we would all be part of a wall.]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691904155 Ana Sofía García laura_ochoa1 https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691904349 Education is e]]> 2020-08-21 17:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691904349 María José Estevez https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691906223 I think that education is really important and I believe that education is not only the one (academically), but also the one you have emotionally like your values. A teacher is not only the one that teaches topics like math, science, etc but the one that also teaches to their students the importance of the respect and feelings about life.

However, school should be a place provided for developing our critical thinking, discovering our strengths and weaknesses, and answering questions, such as; Who I am? What do I want to be?etc]]> 2020-08-21 17:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691907886 María Paula Salazar https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691908317 I am a very determined person and I like to have an opinion on x or y subject. I also believe that I am a person who is interested in being informed about what is happening in the world and in my surroundings, since I don't like to think that the problems in the world are other people's, and not mine (one can always help in something, even if it is very small).
On the other hand, I believe that for the new generations a stimulating education is needed, where interesting tools for students are used. I also feel that it is important to do activities that have to do with common interests of the students, like some bands or recurrent themes.  Additionally, I consider it relevant that teachers care about their students, and that they make it clear to them that more than a teacher, they are a support for us. 
Finally, I would not like to be just another brick in the wall, because, for me, that would mean that I am not making a difference in the world. It is important that young people take action on the problems that exist, so that they can bring about good change. ]]> 2020-08-21 17:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691908317 Isabella Romero https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691908740 I do think education is important because it teaches people not only intellectual things but also helps humans to be better persons and different values that we need for a society to be in peace and so that everything dont collapse. on the other hand, when it comes to the system we have, I guess we are all so used to the classic education system and we have never stopped to think or analyze if this is what me or you really want.  I mean, we all know the right thing to do in life is to attend school, get graduated , after that go to college get your degree and start working to be someone in life. But what if there is another way to be that someone? what if all we are doing is constructing a wall and each one of us is another brick in there?

I also believe that schools and parents shouldn't put a lot of importance in grades, because this lead students to just study because they have to and not because they want to, also this make them believe that they are a grade and that they're a failure if they are not doing good in class when they are better at something else. All this just make students believe that it doesn't matter if they are better at other things because some classes are more important than other ones, and this lead to make them feel like they need to be another brick in the wall.]]> 2020-08-21 17:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691916555 Isabella Arango https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/691955728 I believe that education is an import part of our society and it really help us to develop common knowledge and basically understand how the world works. On the other hand I do believe that we as a society sometimes have our priorities wrong and schools even nowadays sometimes forget that they are preparing human beings to be better and to contribute rather than machines that just have to follow every order.

I think education is escential for everyone in order to guarantee a positive developed future in a society, but by setting the punish and intimidating type of education, studens aren´t going to get anywhere by being forced to do something they don´t want so i think the best way to educate someone is by focusing on the learning more than the memorazing  and in the preferences of each student ideas rather than tell them what they have to accomplish and what they are going to be in a future.
Finally i won´t like to be another brick in the wall, i want to have a positive impact in the world´s perspective in any way so i can give something of me for creating a better society and future.

Now days we are tough to memorize data that we will probably forget in a year; data that is easily found on the internet, so what is the point on trying to make us machines that will only provide the same answer. Students should be persuaded to go beyond on what’s expected, and not forced to give an specific answer.

Personally in my life I have gone through ups and downs with it sometimes finding it necessary others not so much but in general although I dont always love it I understand its importance and the great role it has taken in my life. What I do believe is wrong is outdated systems of education such as the ones shown in the video where teachers harrass students and the school system just puts them into a wall of unimportance and "equality". I fear being just another brick in the wall and im glad my school boosts my individuality and creativity so I can stand not as a block of concrete but as a building in a diverse and interesting city.]]> 2020-08-24 19:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/695669878 Juanita Arcos https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/696041844 I think being another brick in the wall its quite subjective since each of these bricks is different, with different thoughts, orientations, and beliefs and it does not mean that it is wrong but each one contributes to the society that we are creating. Although there are several types of bricks, it is necessary to know what type of brick we want to be, if we are an obscure person who is not contributing and in my opinion supporting the conservative or if we are one who really wants to fight for  a better future, for our world, being more openminded to opinions and decisions that others make.  Likewise i think that education is subjective, it depends on the way in which you decide to see it and in the way you decide to apply it, lookinf for good or evil. You can decide between many sujects such as math o science or art nd theather but make sure that every action you are makingits contributing to make this world better.]]> 2020-08-24 21:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ekmoore2/u8whcfely0bu5htc/wish/696041844
