Module 2

Schooling is necessary for children. Although it might interfere in some ways, it has to be there. School is the beginning of children's life's. Without it they would struggle in everything. They would have hard times finding any type of jobs, they would be uneducated and not socolized. They would be outcasts. I think that there is more that could be done to make schooling better, but no changes will happen overnight. All students need to have more time taken to make sure they excel in what they do best.

Children learn in many ways. Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic ant Tactical are the broad terms. But they learn by watching others, role models. I think that this could be the most important thing in a child's life. Without good role models what foundation does a child have?

I am classified as a visual learner. I have to see what I learn. However, I still learn in many diff rent ways. I learn from others, from doing, from my mistakes.

I have always been involved in Girl Scouts, 4-H and other clubs because of my parents. I've done countless lectures on different subjects. One of the main one's I did was on reptiles. I loved it!! People are so scared of snakes, because they don't understand. A child is MUCH more likely to have there minds changed than an adult. A child would say they were scared because there parents said they should be! Usually at the beginning nobody would even touch the snakes I brought, or even get up close enough to see them. By the end, they would - that's how I know I taught them something. Of course I made it clear that some snakes are dangerous, and that all could bite. My main gole was to get people not to kill them, because there is really no need. I usually had an hour to give my lecture... which included pictures and mounted snakes for visual aid. They could ask questions, look at the live snakes I brought and I usually brought a safe snake they could touch. It was all about local snakes.
