So, I've recently watched a series of videos about the rant that Jeff Bliss did about the learning system. Some people thought that what we did was wrong, but others are on his side- and I am one of them. I feel as if some teachers do not care, and I would learn more if the teachers would give more hands on work and explain the homework better. Usually, there is that one teacher that just gives me the work and doesn't explain how to do it. How do they expect me to get a good grade, when I barely know how to get it done. They should explain it instead of just passing it out.
The school district does have a problem with getting the teachers to engage with the students, and that is something that needs to be fixed. They should talk with the students to make sure they understand the work they have been given. I learn better when things are explained step by step, word by word. I also learn better when I am given a hands on activity and when the teacher tells it to me. If they just hand me a sheet of paper, trust and believe I will forget everything on that paper in a day. Not every student should be taught the same way. The students should be able to chose what they want to learn. What if I wanted to be an engineer?I shouldn't be getting taught about art and music. People who want to take art as a career should be studying that. I should be learning physics and advanced math.
So, in my point of view, the rant Jeff Bliss did was not wrong because more people should stand up for what they believe in. It could lead to a change in education today.
