Baby steps

After this last class i have found a better understanding of what will be expected of us throughout this semester. The readings are interesting as they have to do very much with the topics we are going to encounter. The Dewey v. Hutchins was an internal battle I have also had with myself. How can a class be run off of pure social interaction? The only way to properly run a class would be to find the happy medium between both a social and lecture or transitory method.

Since i was young people have been telling me to live and learn, live and learn. I felt that the trasitory class setting is sit and learn, sit and learn. The way i respond to a class is by being included in the class and to have a dialouge and critical thinking the focus of the cirriculum. That is how opinions and thoughts are created in a young person, by presenting them with the facts and asking them to think about it.
