- W123152054 abstract "People today think youth are a product of their environment, a materialistic, advertisement driven environment. We do or it our way, or believe that Pepsi is life. Have all of you forgotten that we are thinking human beings? Look what you have created in society for us to deal with! You have left us a product, and we were left out of process. As a youth, schooled in our education system, and soon to be in real world, I have some recommendations for changes needed. These changes are in school, and out, and affect our education. Education does not only happen in school, but it can't be complete without it. Here is an overview of my recommendations. First, you need to look at how children and youth learn best. We learn when things are appropriate, relevant, and we can apply learning by living. You need to look at environment in which our learning takes place. We need to learn in a community, with rights and responsibilities, reflecting diversity of our larger community and society. Our environment needs to allow us to learn and use skills we need for life, in concert with growing academically. I am concerned about our parents' and communities' involvement and expectations, and society's need to model what is expected and put youth as a priority. How Children and Youth Learn Best Diane Trister Dodge said, need to teach in ways children learn best. Anything else is unethical (1994). I have heard that in teacher education courses future teachers are taught child development; how learning occurs; and what are best settings, methods, and environments for it. Why aren't these learnings being transposed into practice in our schools? Learning needs to be developmentally appropriate, not just for little ones, but also during those crazy times in middle school, and in high school when we are more intellectually aware. We need all support we can get. We need to be able to construct our own knowledge. Now, don't get me wrong, we still need to know the basics, and I'll tell you about those later. But let us do constructing of our learning and make it appropriate. Learning is a process that can't be done to us. We must construct and integrate it ourselves. Teachers need to create learning settings where we are active and engaged. These settings need to allow for different kinds of strategies. Not all of us are strong in reading and writing. Some of us can express ourselves through art; just check out graffiti on railroad cars. Some of us express ourselves through song, dance, and athletics. What about those of us who like to explore and discover? Some like to do things with their hands, like build, create, or be helping hands. There are many of us who are good at socializing and who get along well with others. Maybe we could teach some adults this skill. And, there are some of us who really have it together. We are interesting and multi-intelligent. You just haven't let us show you. Besides constructing our own knowledge, learning needs to be relevant to us. I know you forget that we can think, but we can also observe. There are people living in boxes. We have friends who are hungry. In bathrooms we see users. We see and are involved in many kinds of relationships. We also see bill collectors because our parents don't have jobs. We see your products, and we were left out of process. Let our curriculum be relevant to what we see, what we do, how we live. Help make it meaningful to our lives. Get rid of 50 minutes of math here and 50 minutes of English there. Make it more like childhood, like elementary school. Let us learn in a manner where it all connects; much in life is related, and we can understand these connections. Right now, we are disconnected. Remember, you left us out of process. That brings me to my next point. Let us live our education. Or are life and education supposed to be separate? Many of us learn on job, or working at home. …" @default.
