Learning is essential. Learning is a right. Learning makes you who you are.
We all learn whether we know it or not, whether right or wrong, whether it's liked or not.
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines learning as the acquisition of knowledge through experience, study, or being taught.
Experience is listed first. Perhaps school should provide more learning through experience.
If learning is essential and a right. If it makes you who you are. And, we want everyone to learn in the right ways and like it, perhaps learning should be collaborative, set in real-world contexts, and available to all.

Terrific post. I agree that learning makes you who you are. It shapes us, our mindsets, our beliefs, and our behaviors. That is why it is essential for teachers to allow students to follow their passions while guiding them along the way. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! I like to keep that idea in the back of my head as I plan learning experiences in my room.
