Real World Situations

Again this morning's section was very stimulting in the fact that we as teachers and our society tend to put people into particular boxes that we expect them to enjoy for the rest of their life. We are surprised and shocked when they are not receptive to this. We need to change the way we think and the way teach. Sometimes students can get more from less. Students at an early age need to be given choices. We need to get into their unconscious and pull up some of the beneficial things that will encourage them to be self motivated not only in their own interests but also about the things that will make them productive citizens in the future. Do we really want to open up the unconscious mind? Personally, I think we need to self exam our motivations for controlling people when we are not in control of most of what we do ourselves.
