I teach English Language Arts. I am also one of my school’s College Advisers. These roles enable me to prepare my students for future success in and out of the classroom.
Despite how hard I work, and the fact that they work even harder, there is still a chasm between what they know and what they need to know. Although they’ll insist that they are courageous, daring and open to new things, they are sheltered and unaware of the vast world around them. It’s truly an impossible task to enlighten someone. It is far easier to show them how and why they should enlighten themselves. The truth is, as Confucius once said, “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.” Once we acknowledge our lack of understanding, we can then do something about it.
So, what's the problem? We are a high-needs school that suffers from budgetary constraints and logistical guidelines. We don't have the money to fully take advantage of all that this technologically advanced world has to offer.
