Student in passion class critiquing education
It's only fair that students should critique education because they are the ones that are the ones that are living it in that moment in time. With the experiences they are going through, why not give their opinions on what they are thinking, whether it's good or bad. People that are in the education field should want to know what students think in order to make it better for future students. I feel that education is about learning so why should it just be the students who learn and no one else. How are things going to move forward if the people in education are closed minded? If that's how it ends up being then education won't go very far. Everything changes constantly and education should somewhat tailor to it's students. The way education was 20 years ago is not going to teach people who were born 10 years ago. Lifestyles have changed drastically over 20 years. Just because teachers are teachers or have degrees doesn't mean they are better than their students. They need to be willing to learn from them and everyone else as well or they will not be able to grow themselves. Learning from colleagues or students will improve their teaching, views, and personality. And that will be what makes them the "cool" ones!They continue to keep open minds and not look at it like power, more like privilege. If there is ever an opportunity to give any kid of feedback or your opinion on anything, take it because your opinion matters more than you know. It does make a difference! And if you don't give your opinion on something you could have and things don't turn out the way you expected, you have no reason to complain. Plain and simple.
