Chapter 9

Chapter 9 New schools had some interesting concepts like the education based site that could make suggestions on a lesson based on an individual students strengths and interests thus making a student feel empowered and an ability to solve a problem he/she may face with the teacher as a person who teaches and guides a student to achieve certain goals on their own. What kind of disturbed me was the mention of a teacher selection based on a student and the teacher having the same type of learning style first off a program based on a students style should already have met this need and I feel that students can learn the lesson of working with different style by needing to be able to work with those that don't always work the same way I feel that this is more in keeping with the preparing of a child to the lessons of dealing with the pressures of everyday life in the job arena than always catering to. Different styles can help us all to learn adjustments and a new outlook on a problem or situation. I do love that this chapter is about recognizing that every child learns differently and that difference needs to be addressed not put in a box!!!
