First time here. Loved it!
I just wanted to a...Hi! First time here. Loved it!<br />I just wanted to add that I think you're totally right. I think teaching occurs in a context so we cannot stop thinking about what happens to children in their neighbourhoods or at home.<br />On the other hand, I have also seen that become a burden for teachers. It may also hinder students education when sometimes the school becomes too involved in the context and relaxes the education.<br />Tough subject... balance is the key I think. And never lower the standards or they will get used to that.<br /><br />I can tell you that no more than 2 weeks ago I had a student from the Psychology program in the final exam (I teach English 1) almost crying to me that she didn't study because she had problems at home, she was living with a friend, she had no money... The thing is that I had already excused her (she had other problems) for the first exam, I allowed her to take it late... You see? I can't pass her just because she has problems...vioviohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600681969209877934noreply@blogger.com
