my current education at the UL primary
school my second education at RIT we are
immersed in secondary school now I
restore insulted by trees and my
ambition was humbly beat by the public
school system in a public school is
something that no one wants to currently
associate himself with who said I want
to private schools no matter the amount
of money to baby
so the government don’t have the awards
in the public schools most if you
haven’t dropped it and it so money the
first thing you do is to set your kid to
a private school so the public school
isn’t in a split of Nicholas in a state
of disrepair you go to some of the
classes there are no Polly charm there
are no board the windows are open and
some of the routes are linking basic
materials as children lack and the
public schools so what happens in the
work we do is we take books to public
schools for reading literacy campaign
what we do is that what we go there the
principal and the management the Telos
to give them the books that we have
libraries really give the books for the
students to read so one day we went to
move all of our pieces and then we
actually asked the principal if we could
reach so she permitted us there in the
hall students committee another 420
students that were in attendance that
day we discovered that only seven of
them could read so I went back home that
day I was actually pleased I went back
home that day what I love about the
public school in my second dream my
necessary I promised myself I was not
going to go back to the public school I
will
with the public school but every day
when I went to I changed by this
decision I said I was going to go back
to this public primary school and start
for the in Serena’s a teacher so I went
back the following week got permission
from the principal
she said that they actually had a
literature teacher dance
a delimited interracial teacher I said I
can operate with this teacher and how
each student since most of them and
offering literature what they don’t know
how to read did not have books novels
and the literary text that they were the
wife syllabus prescribed for them what
they do when they come to class and that
is adjusted take them to a shade sell a
story from Texas and what they do they
follow and until you know if you if you
come to about the school what most
companies teach us and that the teacher
based is like a preacher and the
students they pay attention on the fifth
attention so the first part permitted me
to admit the difficult each other
I meant the difficulty job she said okay
what I’m going to take you to the class
so that she took me to the class
actually she had is very lucky I was
coming behind me I had a terrific
experience and the primary school so
whatever I still can I guess can so the
day that I went into the class had is
very lucky and so a study like this
Puccini he was actually coming to float
me something like that so he introduced
Italy students and we studied up but I
discovered certain students we educate
Italy trust me the first class we had I
have them questions with basic questions
because in education they tell you stuff
from the simple to the complex Lutheran
from the simple what is your name if you
we are ugly ugly I mean it was quite
difficult for them to Stalin experienced
his prints themselves the love
competence in reactivity so I knew that
I was faced with a difficult challenge I
was going to space the false path by
eliminating field from the classroom by
you didn’t trust me by resilient develop
confidence we have so I studied day and
I devised domains and the student
experiences this love was everywhere
where stories have become known the
master is the were very familiar with
the students but the when we teach this
thing we make it look so this phantom
fun
we are ready president by a Madonna
stories about street children a lot of
these children they come from broken
homes when we thought I thought it the
first time they were so confused they
didn’t know what I was talking about I
went home and then we planned
I stopped trying important what is right
after speaking of the big drama
including cases so I have to use example
from business on film the night before
well I used and immediately take action
is not understood what reward the very
many examples give me examples given me
examples
I felt happy Dante and I immunity famous
30 students to be comfortable in my
class I had to use the experiences I
have to be engaged them both retain know
me they have stories they have personal
stories and this love would be with our
people specialist tourism if I must get
them in the class and was let them tell
the
all personal stories bringing their
experiences from go into the classroom
experiences and it worked we were a
state after after one week and it was
quite amazing the number of allowed the
SS we are faithful I mean they didn’t
detailed though I wasn’t talking about
the sentences or the group but
unfortunately no felt this confident
confidence to write out your stories I
mean some of them you three pages final
pages it was also a bit happy then we
have the next one prisoner expended
personal space devastation with lines in
the College of Education but as the
teacher you are beasts almighty
authority you are reached for me the
president whom in important person so
which one you really know this faces in
the class they will tell you to based
around make sure that you cover the
lantern print of the classroom for
students are humans they need privacy
right there in the class they need to
create personal space stay in the
effects last trees we have been to
abandon the class and this improve us no
matter what I see you all around when
the countries with the city teacher they
get quite comfortable comfortable now
this is the rural area well most of the
most of the features there cell is
little in the market for me I was this
stranger so had to let them relax in the
class sometimes I come into the class
and create space for silences I knew it
was working because after a long pause
and could ask questions and they will
reply but when I imagined to the class
and we give the lesson and continue if
remember
they get quite uncomfortable they don’t
realize that I need to create a respect
personal spaces give their time to
ponder to replace a party cheese we give
them special it doesn’t go well that we
have to give them space to understand
and what I teach is literature about
stories about the experiences this is
least cooking and digest so present
personal space is watching respected
personal space is our data these are
students I see they are human space
travel so in each respect and ask what
every teacher deep respect
they too need respect then the third one
third method I used was bringing
humanity to the classroom I will tell
you a story I was going to a German term
he warned primary school exhibitions
food and it’s very popular around the
southeast and one of the questions they
asked me was if I was a Christian I said
yes
are you baptized I said yes that is my
certificate and from my birth
certificate it was entered by the church
and then they asked for my baptismal
certificate unfortunately by the church
I attend doesn’t issue but this Imam
certificate so that was settled and in a
spoiler that he was speaking is very
visual people to Christian Jews I mean
this is all my church’s
they must have know how to speak in
tongues especially if you are
unfortunate to fall into the hands of
schools all by means because that it’s
it if you are not obviously or beard
also have on is speaking in tongues and
I wanna move with ease so what
I was thinking I mean how am I going to
use it in the classroom
how will it facilitate the digital
learning process forward because we are
innocent teacher is cool talk about
speaking in tongues and I was telling
get that job not because I was not
qualified or because I will use actually
not knowing me would it be something
that you require thing I mean in
students we are randomized levels
beginning man they will be uncomfortable
so that is it the school system is
mechanical we forget that we are humans
teachers what we come into the class
becoming rigid if you one will have to
act like this power people that
invention of your neighbors at your mere
presence its to them about automatically
in falling into line nobody would make
advice and you think that you are
managing a classroom very beautifully
students fear you but it is from this
left I mean a change in the public
schools we have stories of this particle
and each other that his ways near
command this which other one is coming
everyone runs into the class but this
teacher
this is not how human we are we need to
bring them back into the classroom a
student comes into the class and then
doesn’t Olivia Simon do you ask why have
you not for me
perhaps when he or she gotten wbd there
was no food had to join the mother in
the market or something there are misses
the one we put money into the classroom
with these things into for business we
know that
my field is the widest today the
impurities so I pointed out thinking she
managed into the classroom let them know
that this is just a niche as a human
being faced off on that I feel I am fact
is with them I am less judgmental I
don’t say because you did this yes is
people in instead what we learned how to
is placing photon widget without that
because this is the instruction I give
it won’t be followed like that so what
is bless your mental I’ll continue money
into the classroom if I talk to them
that this guy has my interests at heart
that is it the last one I use is
redefining misspell a classroom of the
region that’s Christmas one of my nephew
is detained and then his this is
feminism in all of our history they are
not so one afternoon he had a problem
with my mom and then I intervened what
he saw me he took a short from man don’t
run away and it was the enemy life
comets become a tree in Oregon of them
hello was like looking at me she was
very surprising
but he doesn’t see news each other so I
won’t actually know how I mean didn’t
teach and this guy I mean behaving like
the Chinese so then it was then it
struck me that I don’t have a whether
this child comments their healing in the
debate is for me you will come and
submit a big problem is nice but is not
the kind of teach I am sometimes in the
question we mistake
fear for a healthy respect for authority
there are two defendants
we should redefine what respect is that
especially Dame’s and not been demanded
we should redesign what obedience is
omitted I don’t even like it in the
classroom because it entails absolute
compliance the student complies with all
the rules and regulations you make when
we bring me or my friends the students
are permitted another business their
work is their future and what happened
initially is quite different the
confidence sometimes we miss that
confidence as arrogance installation be
self-confident and should be able to
activate the child question
unlike myself so often we define
respected Authority so that I could be
accessible to them now why do they know
that they can come to me and say sorry
that won’t happen the way into this they
respect me quite a right or they don’t
really fear should not be in the
classroom this is the method I used for
the last five years I’ve been
volunteering in public schools
I hope they because they I shoot from
one school to another and it’s full and
before my class five years it wouldn’t
go through they have about seven the
luck with the highest number of students
of individual we’re 15 at Adam open 11
secondary school but they have increased
there are 27 they join a class they come
in we want a vibrant reading fortune now
it’s with a common class
I give them novels TV it is funding our
new culture is expanded let me know I’m
inviting my imposed on you know what
they have
culture of reading and which is one of
my goals and which is one of the things
that led him to the published food in
the first place
now I’m confident knowing that the
students are busy that in the future
they have conventions they are confident
they are living the and going to the
world of baseline and common successful
thank you
