Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.
I believe that if we want our children to understand the world beyond their classroom, we must bring the world into their classroom.
To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.
You want to teach the next generation so they can learn a little bit faster and a little bit more so everything becomes that much better.
Kids need to see their world reflected back to them.
Kids are an important audience to reach for the future of the planet.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
That's the beauty of education, kids taking lessons out of the classroom and back into their own world where they can positively affect their family, their friends, and their greater community.
Children learn what they live.
I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.
