What's the future of education? Week six / Actvity 6.1

This discussion goes deeper than my college-level knowledge can bring, I had the audacity to ask two teachers colleagues: what was good? What would change? What values do you have? particularly with respect to the elementary education system in Mexico, the interesting thing is that one is a teacher working in a community near the city and another in the city in a private school. This is what they said and it turns out to be interesting context different degree of education and various economic factors ..

The teacher who teaches in the community mentioned that:
Now put students to work things out for themselves, one teacher can not give a detailed explanation, you should leave them well their own answers and work better together. Q To share experiences and learn to work in groups. Driving a guided discovery learning.

Respect, cooperation, responsibility, cooperation, teamwork, mutual support, exchange of ideas.

Something is off and it's good to disappear is that I as a teacher can not be authoritarian and something you should rethink are the themes that manage current primary school textbooks, are obsolete and many errors, each topic is 5 tracks, is a redundancy and should be seen as isolated subject.
Another thing. Now in first grade, handle it as if the child knew how to read and write ... You have done mixtures of topics and very difficult for the degree of maturity. And remember now working alone, is hard for the child.

But the situation is different for the private school.

Possible good points to education are the changes now made to educational reform.

The values which are supposed to promote respect and tolerance are the strongest right now to avoid a little bullying, that thing really does not exist or is very rare at this level.


Change of education is not, but if bring. More work is needed in teacher training but the private sector does not suit you have untrained teachers otherwise would not have the income or quality that is what sells. Supposedly.
