The Seven Essential Questions about Education

Who am I and what motivates me?

I am a daughter of God

I am motivated and excited when my students are excited

Desire to gain knowledge

Better myself, my children, and future generations

It is just and fair to be consistent in teach and all I can.

Education is empowerment to change. Let all be empowered.

I practically plan lessons

I am motivated by the desire to empower, uplift, and strengthen with knowldege

Learning more about how God designed this world motivates me to learn.

How do I view and magnify those I teach?

My students are children of God and ought to be treated as such.

Treat the class and their parents with the utmost respect.

Allow children to gain and have their own experiences.

We don't always see that we offend people. There are an infinte number of ways to offend people and my lifestyles blocks me from seeing other people's life styles. Be more than just kind or passively try to be sensitive. Be active in their lives so you can see more than you did before.

Look at things at apparent value and practically evaluate.

School is more than just getting by. If school is going to be enriching, I must magnify those I teach by enriching the material with life and meaning

Every child, black and white, has a right to education.

I magnify men and woman equally. I help disabeled students become all they need to be

What is my work as a learner and a teacher?

Be rooted in true doctrine while teaching the children principles and how to use proper tools.

Create an experience. Don't let them mindlessly fill out a worksheet, give them something to THINK about

As a teacher, it is not my job to rule with an iron fist and force my creative ideas. Its about the students being involved and being creative.

Allow them to guide the learning experience. What are their questions? What are they yearning to know? Let them give the classroom creativity, energy, and life while you give guidance.

"It's my role to teach correct principles and let people govern themselves." -Joseph Smith. Same principle as a teacher.

It is the role of the students to participate

Its not the role of the teacher to be a dictator, its their role to be a mediator.

It is not my role as a teacher to replace the role parent or guardian.

Education is about ENABLING CHILDREN TO BECOME WHOEVER THEY WANT TO BE. NOT PUT THEM IN CHAINS.

Sky is the beginning, lift off, not the limit. Children go to school to be given hope.

School is NOT an equalizer. School is opportunity. Let Children be who they really want to be. Make school an opportunity.

Make the classroom a place of equality. The class room should be a safe place where we talk about one another and our cultures kindly.

Treat all students with kindness and respect regardless of background. Reach out to each child in love and righteousness

Get to work and get out of my comfort zone

GUIDE. I don't really 'teach,' I guide. (Only the Holy Spirit of God can truly do that)

The oppressor begins violence, not the oppressed. Don't oppress. The oppressed must free themselves before they can free the oppressor.

Those who despise initiate hate, not the despised.

It's more than just reaching out, its about having hands that heal, strengthen, and lift.

You don't make anybody more by making them less

We must erase this divide between races. We are one people under God. My role is to help my students treat each other equally, particularly in kindness and respect.

My role is to lead the student to knowledge. I can do all I can to intrigue interest, but ultimately they must choose to learn.

I stand for equity, honesty, citizenship, health, and ethical character.

Obey the orders of the School District. We work as a whole.

I am responsible to report misconduct of any kind, even to report abuse if necessary.

I am responsible for keeping a code of conduct and ethics.

Students are responsible to to fight for their education and equality.

What is worth teaching?

Correct principles

Justice is worth doing something about. If you see something out of line with common moral beliefs than you must take the lead in making a change. If you want things to change you must become the change.

The issue with public education is less of a question of what is worth teaching and more of an issue of HOW we teach what is worth KNOWING.

Its worth teaching skills that deepen the individual

Allow them to have their own reality, mindset, and thoughts. Guide them through new information to enhance their state of reality.

It is worth teaching reading, writing, proper speech. If we can communicate well, we can grow more effectively.

Honesty, respect, and kindness

Each art, subject, and bit of truth has its own beneficial results.

Teach children justice and be just. Honesty is the best policy

Freedom in America means free opportunity.

Knowledge doesn't have to be doctrine. Sometimes you just have to go with what you know.

Wisdom doesn't always mean truth.

The most modern, up to date, and current curriculm on every subject should be taught. We should teach to the best of our ability, all we know.

How do I learn?

By feeling the Holy Spirit

Expierence and hands on activities.

By learning and using trial and error on my own. NOT through rote examples. Allow me to be creative

I learn when I am in a clean environment

I learn by following the natural process of nature. For example, it is a natural law for small things to become big. Therefore, if i learn something new everyday I will eventually become intelligent and capable of higher education.

I learn when I feel valued and respected.

What is the role of school in society?

School ought to teach children how to become, not simply what to know

The just teacher never responds or acts uncivil, even to the difficult students.

It is a part of being a just country to share knowledge with all

Justice is the interest of the stronger. The US wants those who have little able to be strong.

Knowledge is the important thing. School benefits us now and puts society on an upward smile to a better life.

Knowledge is power.

Projects teach kids practical skills

The right to learn. Every child should have a chance to learn, not just be put to work. Let young ones experiment, learn, and grow.

School is more than daycare, it is a child's preparation for college and future job. It is so the child has their best chance.

If school is the means whereby we teach the future, then school is the place where society finds its opinions. If we want our children to be active and involved we must teach them in their youth. If we want children to respect other children who look and act different then we must do so in school.

School in society is to teach knowledge. Children should be allowed to progress their school as they are ready and not forced to progress by years. However, schools are not only responsible for intellectual knowledge, but they are also responsible to teaching life and social skills.

Schools are the gateway for change. If a law can start in school in can happen anywhere and spread to be normal everywhere.

Since school is for everybody, then every DREAMer should get to go. If every DREAMer can become educated, they should be able to move forward here too.

Upon what foundation are U.S. public schools built?

A built in child watch for parents that need to work. Allowing parents to provide for theirs while giving a kids a chance to be their own person.

It's a chance to improve our own knowledge and culture as a society.

School equalizes the gap between rich and poor, black and white, immigrant and citizen.

In America, school is more than just learning. It has become a culture of day care and pushes kids through the system.

The role of schools ought to about better the lives of students, not just pushing kids through in the name of equal opportunity. If we just talk and don't teach there is no opportunity.

Education in America is RIGHT of all people who live here. Immigrant, citizen, and illegal alien alike.

We believe in freedom of speech. Allow children to SPEAK.

School isnt just about history and facts. It's about passing on culture, legacy, and hope.

Society should financially support schools. An idea would be for students and teachers to live onsite and have free rent and food.

U.S. public schools are directly connected to the United States government and therefore school rules are directed by the government.

Every student has a right to graduate high school. America has therefore put laws in place so that more minorities can graduate.

To protect immigrant children's right to education and work, the government protects children with DACA so they can finish school.
