More Of What Seems To Be The Problem
What is obvious is that most teachers don't learn much once they become teachers.Year after year they attempt to teach students new skills and concepts, yet they themselves creep along, at a less than snail's pace, in their own learning curve in order to win the pretend-to-be-doing-a-good-job race to keep what is in place, in place. Same goes for administrators, school boards and legislators who keep making the same management mistakes and expect better results from students. All these adults are responsible, all of them shift the blame while clamoring for any accolades and pay raises that are far from being merit-based, yet the grading system that results from goofily constructed tests used to assess student understandings, is an individual merit-based grading system for students. Teachers, administrators, board members and legislators should have to take tests, including the same tests given to students. By default of you being in those jobs, you are claiming to know what it takes for students to learn what they need to know, because you already know what they are trying to learn. Then prove it through a testing system just as you expect students to prove understandings via a testing system.
Because as students we have all been taught under the suboptimal context worldview, the teacher in us has been taught wrong. Those of us who become part of the limited official group called teachers, have also been taught wrong about how to teach, what the basic components are, the non-negotiable need to have want to and the non-negotiable reasons why based on purpose, destiny and born to. The lack of these requirements is stamped as okay and considered not needed because you are not in the classroom and not in the school, yet you board members and legislators affect everything and everyone in each school. You just keep getting paid for dumb intelligence while you blame students. What the world does not need now is more children taught by a group of adults like you who think you have learned plenty enough, and are professionals, thus have little to nothing more to learn in order to do an A+ excellent job as a teacher, administrator, board member or legislator.
The structure of the school system and school day and school year reinforces the need to not change, not improve. In both the single classroom and multiple fragmented classroom approach, there is little to no structure or incentive to coordinate lessons, teach one part, review, teach another part review, add the two, review, teach a third part review, add the third to the first two, review. Review includes having each student teach and explain what is being taught, so that no child is actually left behind. All this should take place before testing and giving grades that will go on student permanent records as indicators of achievement and non-achievement and potential.Under any properly structured education system, teachers, administrators, boards and legislators should also be graded as meeting their responsibility for every student who has grasped the concepts, then also be graded as failing to meet their responsibility for every student who has not grasped the concepts. Teachers, administrators, boards of education and legislators at all levels under which each school falls, are being paid to do an extremely important fiduciary job that affects the health and welfare of the community, the nation. There must be some reward and punishment system, for everyone responsible, just as it is for the individual student. This brings us to the elephant in room responsibility of citizens in the community who only jump up and down when they don't want the truth to be taught in schools, otherwise they are okay with how things are being ran and how students are being ran into the ground and molded to become workers in a society that totally neglects its primary responsibility to children. This results in the community and nation getting exactly what they put up with, tolerate and vote for. Students were getting killed long before guns were used as the weapon. The education system was and still is the mass murderer of children. Aren't you glad you are well educated?
By now the teaching world should be completely aware of various approaches to transferring information from themselves and to their students. Teachers should also be aware of various tools to help them teach and assess and understand what adjustments need to be made on a student-centered basis. From the start of each school year, this must include working with each family that continuously ensures family involvement far beyond parent-teacher conferences or report card day.
Families, not just immediate parents, know their children better than people who are only involved because they are being paid to do a job.
Teacher job performance is evidenced by demonstrated ability to communicate information to various grade levels (age levels), and various student acumens, while using various strategies. Teachers should have all resources made available to them to help them improve, because they too, are individuals. Teachers must be thoroughly taught and tested before being set loose in a classroom as the head teacher and only teacher. Before that happens, each teacher should be an intern and assistant under various types of teachers who serve different types of students based on demographics of race, gender, special needs and other identifiers that affect the student-teacher relationship. All this should take place before being awarded certification. Legislators, board members and administrators should also be required to be certified in understanding the needs of all student groups. Anyone not certified for a student group should not be allowed to teach them, administrate them or make rules for them as a teacher, administrator, board member or legislator. In other words, everybody needs to go back to “school” and become better educated. Yet we tolerate failure within ourselves and claim it's the student's lack of effort and intelligence.
Please don't tell me a damn thing about money when we prioritize trillions for defense because we deem it important, and we give billions to every form of police agency and billions to other countries and billions for wars and billions to Immigration Enforcement and Billions to the IRS and billions to corporations and billions to any number of things that should be considered far less important than educating children. Priorities out of order will pretty much mess up everything.
Unless the training of teachers and all-related primary affectors of school systems, includes straightening out the critical teaching related parts of their miseducation, then of course what is broken will remain broken with little to no awareness that it is teachers and all other adults, who are broken.
Good News From Khennu-Nefer
There is a teacher who knows how to teach all subjects to all students, including those who embrace their roles as teachers.That coach is spirit-soul, within us and ubiquitously around us, who is the best teacher in this world and beyond. All that's needed to enroll and learn is to give spirit-soul primary control over the mental, emotional and physical aspects of self, including your pride, joy, self-estimation, identity and your I'm-the-adult-the authority-you're=the-student mindset.
Humans were first taught and best taught by natural world examples and through use of natural world examples. We make our mistake when we rely on humans as primary teachers when those humans do not rely on all else as their primary teachers.
All subject matter must be taught and learned in relation to self and all else and incorporate the use of metaphors of self and metaphors of other aspects of nature.
Attempting to teach absent this mindedness is part of the error of our current ways.
In a 13-year school system, the first five years should be foundational in reading, writing, mathematics and communicating. The next four should build on the foundation and begin to be more specific to each child's area's of interest. The last four should be more specific to nurture an already nurtured understanding of destiny-purpose. If this sounds strange, it is because the education system does not have the best interests of any child in mind, and has taught you that it does, yet you are having a logic conflict with the previous sentence because you don't understand how it is the responsibility of the education system, even though the education system imposes itself upon children and parents, by making it a crime to not send your child to their broken schools. And then imposing their way of thinking and requirements onto families trying to break free by homeschooling. Even schools gilded with the facade and veneer of being the best schools are still broken if all you are producing are A+ robots who become teachers, administrators, board members, legislators, workers, employees, owners and citizens who think they way they've been taught, thus continue to maintain broken systems.
You have to optimize the drill in order to optimize the skill in order to optimize the spinning of the wheels (all the moving parts necessary to accomplish a task) that allows things to click into proper position in a thought process, thus provide momentum for the next learning goal, rather than the impedance of not understanding how to teach self, and then making things worse by turning to and relying on teachers and other such experts who also do not understand how to teach self, let alone anyone else. How can you love teaching others when you don't love teaching self, as evidenced by your logic as evidenced by your behavior?
Impetus For Revisiting Teaching Impotence
As evidenced by continuous performance failures in every sports contest, teachers, called coaches in the sports context evidently continue to try to get sap out a tree without making sure the tree has all it needs to produce the sap. Thus feeding the roots of tree is neglected as well as making sure the surrounding environment is conducive to the desired results. The tree must be understood as to how it produced and learned before you came along.You can't just expect to get performance and execution from something without a lot of giving back to that something and pouring into that someone. Giving that emulates natural learning environments that help stimulate growth and development through the integration and immersion of self with all else.
