people are born with values‚ and as we age those values change. can the values that people learn in stories affect actual lives? Examples of such can be found in the following stories. ’’little women’’ by louisa may alcott‚ and’’a celebration of grandfathers’’by Rudolfo Anaya. To begin with‚ in the story ’’Little women’’ the daughter named Amy does not want to spend her only dollar on just a bottle of callone for her mother‚ so she improvises by buying the smallest bottle she can find.

My Ideal School One of my ultimate goals in life is to start a progressive school which focuses on developing a passion for living and self-knowledge in children. Schools nowadays have a rote‚ one-size-fits-all curriculum‚ which is conducive to learning for only a small percentage of students. My ideal school would be communication-based‚ blending aspects of social work‚ conflict resolution‚ team building‚ and traditional learning. Classes would be limited to fifteen students‚ a size small enough

Recently‚ I made a list of what I think my perfect school would look like. As I began developing the list‚ I was struck by two things: Firstly‚ how most of it was about making school more student-centered‚ and secondly‚ that I didn’t mention technology once. For me‚ this second trend bears a little more fleshing out. I would never say that there is no place for technology in education‚ far from it… But I think the place of technology is to support a more student-focused‚ relevant and engaging methodology

When she looked at it‚ as if it were an enigma‚ that question arose—and for good reason. It wasn’t like she hadn’t noticed it before; quite the opposite‚ really. What made it so attractive‚ so compelling to the eye? Was it the crystal casing‚ the shiny lustre on it‚ the gold hands? Or was it the shimmering crescent moon pendulum‚ which had a star attached to it? Or

Alexey Leushkin‚ 502 My School Practice If you are asked to answer what teaching means for you‚ what would you say? Is it science or probably art? Does a teacher deal only with pure theoretical knowledge or he takes a deep insight into pupils’ nature as well?

It seems obvious to me that before you once tried to be a tutor

School can be considered as our second home as we spend most of our time there. If we were to talk to students about their school life‚ they may told you that it was no more than just listening to the boring lectures of the teachers. My ideal school life can be so different; it hosted more songs and laughters of students and teachers. My ideal school life consists more of self-learning‚ rather than having the teachers to conduct lessons and teach us almost everyday. The students no longer
