Powerful Quote
If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.
John Dewey
Life now and then is totally different. We could see the growth of people and technology impacting the way we think and act. What we learnt when we were children probably similar to what the children learn now and it is still exist up to now. However the way people react onto something cannot be predicted at this moment.
Beforehand children didn't show curiosity and ask more questions but they want to know more at this moment. If we hinder them from their inquiry, they will not be able to step forward.
From the quote above I encourage myself to be an open minded by keep learning how to teach them with different approaches and activities. If we want the children better than us so we should use better strategies than what we felt in the past.
