this just boggles the mind.

I do not teach my students or brainwash them with my ideology or beliefs. Unfortunately I have to teach them and make sure they are learning from the Curriculum which comes from the government.

I notice the word "unfortunately" that means you know what there should be and what there is not, that comes from experience .

Yes, I know my students should be taught different things in different ways. But we have to follow the rules of the government or do as we are told.

and you find at times that goverments are living on a different planet.

Some don't even live in this Solar System LOL

I think that if a child is very interested in a subject, they will find a way to gain more information and knowledge for their own benefit and pleasure, there is a very big differnce between being clever and being intelegent .

Students come to school unengaged, hungry, tired etc. It is up to use teachers to get them engaged and willing to learn. The responsibility falls on us.

there is an old saying that "you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink" it is not the teacher it is the system, the teacher and the parents and children work as individuals, if the children cannot see the future why should they want to go there. what I notice is that every one or nearly every one carries a smart phone and how and for what do they use it, every one is living in a dream world, reality is some thing that they are afraid of because they are not interested unless it affects them and then they are ready to blame others for their own inability to solve it.

No matter what you do or how hard you try a horse will only drink good water. The horse will die of dehydration before it will drink bad water. They are programmed that way. Teachers and student are programmed the same way. Children are programmed in their upbringing and how they are taught.

Children maybe like the horse, they do not like the programs, the problem maybe the person who writes the program??
