RE: School tasks: really necessary?
I completely agree. I think that teachers often fall into the trap of thinking they are required to show the parents (and possibly admin) that they kids are learning..
They do so by inundating the children with homework. Unfortunately the vast majority of assignments are busy work with no actual learning going on. This is not helpful to the student, and often detrimental to the child's mental (and even physical) health.
Great article! :)
So is. As an educator I always say that the school must respond to the dynamics of today's society, and in many cases it has been left behind, and that is why many children drop out. The school is often boring and obsolete. A lot to change. Thanks for reading me!
