Chapter Two Reflection

1.  A good person living in a good society will be contributing to the society in a positive way. For example, fire fighters are good people living in a society because they are helping keep the community safe by risking their lives.
2. The purpose of education is to learn new things and grow as a person. Education can help a person think independently and differently. It helps people learn how to collaborate and work with peers and prepare for upcoming real world experiences they might be faced with.
3. When thinking about this question it occurred to me how many important things everyone should learn. Some of the most important things include, learning a language. This is important so that a person can read, write, and discuss ideas with others. Everyone should learn basic math skills because they are needed in every day life. Buying things at a store, a house, and a car are all things that need basic math skills. Everyone should also learn how to read. You cant go a day in life without being able to read. You need to read street signs for directions and recipes to cook. Reading is a basic skill that is so important to be able to live life.
4. The nature of learning is the process of not knowing something, being taught the new idea, putting the idea to practice, and then understanding the idea so well that a person can teach it to someone else.
5. Excellent teaching is when a teacher can get the student to be excited and engaged in the lesson while having them walk away knowing something new. The ultimate goal is to have the student learn something new and having them walk away so excited that they want to tell or teach the concept to someone else.
6. School helps students learn what is appropriate for their age level. School keeps students on track and sets goals and expectations of what they should be learning.
