Schools are nothing but FACTORIES!



         



             Schools are  nothing but factories and unfortunately this is not human nature.  Every year hundreds of thousands of children starts to high school all around the world. And unfortunately most of them end up with being "standard". Most of them hates school and to be honest with you, I believe it is total waste of time! Today I will not talk about the people who achieved high scientific successes, earned big amounts of money or CHANGED THE WORLD. Everybody knows that They exist! They have only one in common; "they left the school". But of course most of them continued the university or research without being have to stressed with exams, and they have no degree.


             Do you think that I am too bold? Let's take look at people who have a degree. After spending at least 16 very valuable years at school, you can get a degree so that you can have a chance to "work for someone else". You can also set your own business but its so rare. 8 hours a day 5 days a week you have to work and you get a salary which is very enough to have a middle class life. This is positive side of the coin, if you are jobless, you are jobless.


         So, to reach a middle class life we spend our effort and money for 16 years to work more?
School is a lie! It is just a factory which makes working class. Everybody should educate themselves to reach more, there is nothing to do with degrees, papers... There is something to do with your brain, it's free, USE IT.

My Understanding on Constructivism

 

My Understanding on Constructivism

  


                      Constructivism is a teaching philosophy that gives the students a chance to comprehend the meaning of that class and which is basically an answer of  "Why I am learning this?" and "What are the benefits of this information?".  Knowing these answers will create awareness on the students.

                     Students come to the class ready (studied for the topic) and discuss the certain issues with the teacher's guidance. By doing this, they internalize the information. They learn from each other and the teacher builds the new knowledge on their existing knowledge. If the students do not study or the population of the classroom is too high, it will become impossible to study.
             

                By constructivism students share their information and opinions so classes are more fun and learning is more permanent. However we should take the population into consideration before we try it.

Collaboration with Colleagues in the Concept of Teaching

Collaboration with Colleagues in the Concept of Teaching

            I believe that collaboration is very important. When teachers collaborate; they broaden their horizons, see things from different points of views and do less. Collaboration both helps the teachers to do better for their students and improves them mentally( learning for teaching process) with less effort. In my opinion teachers joined these "brain-storming teams" are more successful than the others. These groups don't have to be fixed by the goverment or the principals, they better be fixed by the teachers themselves. For example; when I collaborate  with my peers it triggers my thoughts and new ideas comes out then we discuss them, shape with other ideas and come up with a "thing".
