Good Teachers CAN Teach Anything Anyway.

"So, do you think one lesson from this experience might be that a good teacher can teach anything from anything else?" According to Mr.Fisch in his blog Macbeth, Music, Mathematics, and Teaching: Can A Good Teacher Teach Anything From Anything Else? this question was asked by Gary Starger to Anne Smith about Smiths way of teaching. This question sprouted a few of my own questions. Is the point of school learning, or finding different ways to learn? I have come to find that finding different ways to learn is the way to go, and i believe that a good teacher CAN teach anything anyway. A good math teacher should have multiple ways of teaching things like equations and fractions, there shouldn't be just one answer. So many different types of students cant learn the material just because there is only one answer. A good English or Social Studies teacher should have created ways to teach whatever is being learned. In realizing how important it is to find eclectic ways to learn, and teach differently i have begun to realize as much as i hate waking up at 5:45am, hate doing homework, and hate going to school education is very important to me, its the only thing that will get me to where i want and need to be in my life. I hope the future of learning, and education begins to see a much more broad horizon and teachers begin to teach differently, and students become willing to learn.
