Education
Education, the dictionary meaning is the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession.
There are a majority of people who take online classes. Do you think its appropriate for you to sit at home and in front of the computer doing your work
Potential. Latent excellence or ability. But what is it really? How much you know? A number? A figure? A grade point average? That was the impression I always had.
In school, you learn lessons necessary to pass a test. These lessons are taught to you step by step, and geared towards an examination that is scheduled for a certain time and date. The grade you get on the test is recorded, and that is how you’re potential is calculated.
In life, you take tests necessary to learn lessons. Every test throughout life is a challenge that must be overcome, and with every challenge something new is discovered.

In my opinion, the foundations of true success are built on the knowledge one has gained through their life challenges. Although the estimation of potential is virtually opposite in both life and school, the key underlying factor of it is very similar in both areas. During school, failing a test is devastating. The information was clearly presented, yet one was not motivated enough to take initiative and understand it. They are viewed as a horribly incapable and inept person, and it is assumed that they will never succeed or amount to anything. However, a completely opposite conclusion can be made from the failure of overcoming an obstacle in a life situation.

Kisa, there are some interesting points here. but i dont see your opinions;
ReplyDeleteDo you think online courses are good? why? why not?
Is studying for tests and teaching students how to pass tests prepare them for the real world?
Good but not all of this is in your own words.
ReplyDeletenice! what does inept mean? and what does latent mean?

ReplyDeleteMR. Mitchell,
As you can see I took this article from a website and I quite understand it without writting it in my own words, and I think it is not a good idea to take online classes because it is not healthy for yuo thats the first reason
and its not good for your education as well.
