"I wish I could improve my students' desire to learn, to
participate in class, and to become more active learners. My curriculum offers
limited flexibility, but I want to prepare students for success in the real
world. If only they could experience the day-to-day realities of the workplace,
and what their lives might be like in the future."
Many students run into problems when they leave education due to the fact
that they cannot get a job without experience. At the same time, they cannot get
the right experience without a job, so it is difficult sometimes to see the
value of education outside of the classroom. Meanwhile, educators constantly
have to engage their students by making sure learning prepares them for success
in the real world, as well as gain the appreciation of parents. |
