The Water is Wide Reflection

Recently in my Principles of Education and Training we have viewed the video, The Water is Wide, to differentiate education in the 1960's to today. You will find my response to the blog prompt below.

1. Education discipline has change sine the 1960's by banning paddling and violence to students and changing it to detentions, suspensions, and Saturday school. Also, schools have more race diversity within the education board and staff.

4.  a) Mr. Conroy used the projector to show his class people from history to let them have an idea of how they looked like.
     b) he took the students to a "field trip" around the island while learning about history
     c) he brought technology to them like the record player, the projector , and the speaker to build their education and creativity they couldn't express.

5. Mr.Conroy got the community to support the school by actually letting the students to be creative and be themselves. When he told Barbara that Saul wouldn't get bullied anymore, she looked surprised because Mrs. Brown had never came up to her and talked about her students to the parents. Another way he got the community to support was by bringing the idea of field trip to Washington D.C. to let the parents know that he is giving the students fun and education.

8. From what I have seen,  I can say that a teacher should put attention to the students needs and get them motivated so that they like learning. Also, to not kill their creativity because if we teach them like if they were robots then they wouldn't learn and become scared of doing something like speaking their mind.
