American Education Foundation 9/29

From the reading I was quite confused about teaching to the child and the whole man or citizen. I feel like as a teacher that what's important is teaching the students the most we can while not making it to boring. He talked about how the child learned from hands on experience. I feel like that is something I would use in my classroom because that is how I learned. Although I know it is important to teach to all ways of learning children need to learn by doing somethings themselves. I also like the St. Augustine writing don't just want to stand and talk at the children. I want to allow students to freely express themselves in my classrooms and feel comfortable being themselves. That is something I will take from our discussion and reading, children are children not adults. They don't need to be talked to or treated as such.
