CHANGING THE WORLD

I think we, teachers, cannot change the world from the classroom, but we can change some students lives and the view of their own future. We are able to make them think and take their own decisions to not be persuaded to do or believe something they do not agree with. We also have the opportunity to show them that there are different ways of living their lives, because the reality which they know is not the only one. When students become adults they may not remeber how to do a calculation or how to analize a sentence, but they will probably remember and use some of the values learned in our lessons. For that reason, I think that we should focus on teaching not only our subject, if not important values for our students´ future.

What do you think?
