Recycling the gift Passion Project II


I strongly agree with what is being said in the video and   how education is really being taught and how the students think of education. In the video they talk about how education has a different meaning to everyone. During the video Alex Neikrik states “I hate the way the teaching method works: you have a standardized test; everybody gets tested on the same material. I am the professor so I know all the material and you’re the students that I try to transfer it to you and if you don’t understand it then that sucks and I’m failing you.” This statement is truly how some teachers think education is, some teachers believe that they need to teach material by the book and nothing more if you have a comment lets just not talk about it because that’s not what is written.
Students don’t really know what education is the learning is actually memorizing what the teacher says for the test and then move on to the next lesson to memorize that. Students don’t really try and have a say on it to think more about the material. I know this for a fact cause that how it was in high school lets take notes for this week and read this paper till I have everything memorized for the test after I took the test I didn’t have to worry about what was taught because I passed this test and I able to move on to the next thing.
Also in the video Peter Mutch says “having a teacher take a personal interest in you and shoe their personality through what theyre  teaching is incredibly helpful to the process of learning. Its almost essential,right almost.” This statement is something to think about and very true when a teacher actually cares and actually shows creativity in their teaching and goes outside of the book it makes student think more about the material. When teachers would put there own personal twist on things it made me think more then what is in a textbook. when teacher and students actually have a connection with the material and talk about it I feel more interested in the material and when teachers and students come together it opens  more ways of think and show different perspective of things.

  1. These paragraphs are great and full of your opinion. If you were to use them in your essay, I would flip there order. Find in each paragraph where you clearly state your opinion and why it is important, put that at the top of the paragraph and let everything else prove your point. Good Start!
