You're free to speak.

        Educate, shape, mold productive entities for an eminent and effective future. All these concepts can't be linked to the development of individual personalities. Every child is different, learns differently and enjoy things in different ways.

        For children to learn, they need to internalize and capture the information so that they can adapt it to their reality. As a teacher, we use to present a small structure and we try to stick the child to a paradigm without having the opportunity to get his or her own reasoning.

         We're all adapted to a sad and boring standard of living. A way of life that makes you vulnerable to depression and  makes your life a nonsense waist of time. You find yourself at a comfort zone where you prefer to stay for "security"... thinking you're doing something good for you, working as hard as you can... WELL... think again! You are only completing a schedule and following a regulation based on the immediate benefits of authorities. You're not standing up for yourself declaring why you don't agree with your boss, or why you're mad at your partner who's always right even when he or she is wrong. Well, we can blame this on education. The lack of "think by yourself"... giving students the answers to questions not allowing them to develop or get to the answers by thinking. ACTUALLY USING THEIR BRAIN.

        An unfair world where children are educated as robots without freedom to think , criticize , analyze and especially apply concepts to their daily situations, problems, or realia. What if we stop this established methodology? Every child, as an special and unique entity, can develop an overwhelming intelligence and a desire to express thoughts, feelings, believes, disagreements, and so on. We all have the right to say how we feel and what we believe... We learn and grow from those mistakes we face. 

Each child should be treated as a special and individual entity. Now days, teachers spend most of the time yelling at students and not wanting them to move from their chairs. As a teacher we can't force them to be seated , but if we get them interested in the class we're teaching, that is a satisfying victory. A subtle and effective way to get their attention is to apply it to their daily basis and what they see every day. Present what we teach with an everyday situation and children will feel comfortable because they know what they're talking about, they will compare and contrast, they will see familiar terms,  they will internalize meanings, and the best reaction you will get, is their confidence to give an opinion and speak their mind.
