 You always hear “Not now” from teachers especially as you get older. Even if it’s not directed at you, you see it happen to other kids all the time and it discouraging you from asking anything. I have personally seen this a lot in high school, and one time I asked a question because I was confused, and when she answered me, she repeated the same thing she had said before with no interest in helping me understand the lesson and move on. This put me in the headspace to not ask questions because some teachers will just ignore you or not even give you a helpful response. Teachers should encourage students to be curious and ask questions if their lost and not just make them keep quiet. It is clear how some teachers don’t really care if you learn because they just want to finish the lesson.Â
Hi Sindy, I can relate to your thoughts. In deep memory, we can always find something like being said to be quiet and lower the raising hands. From your example, I can see that the teacher discouraged you because she did not explain the context well enough. This made you lose interest in asking any questions. Before this point, you can also link to the article ‘Schools Kill Curiosity’ about how schools are treating students’ curiosity. This can show your reflection on the article and extension of your thoughts.
Hi Sindy, I feel that the correlation of teacher’s lack of interest and diminishing curiosity in young students is prevalent. Although your reflection does have hints to your overall opinion, it is not detailed enough. I believe you should incorporate a specific scenario with a piece of dialogue, in order to make it sound more personal. There is also a run on sentence in your reflection.
Hi Sindy, I think you did great with being able to write down what you went through and how you felt when your teacher showed no interest. I think you should maybe add more details and type of connection to what you wrote with the article. And I also noticed that there are run on sentences in the middle of the paragraph.
