What I've Learned

Looking back on when I was young, I felt like any school failures that I experienced were of my own doing. I know that most of the responsibility for the failures were my fault, however this year I have been made aware that not all of my failures were with me---some were with my teachers and the educational arena of the time. I believe if some of my past teachers would have delivered instruction in a more varied environment, I might have not been as reluctant to learn. I think the strategies introduced to teachers today give students more of a chance to succeed than fail. Today's education allows students to learn in a variety of methods, each with equal merit. I know that today's educators have more information at their disposal in regards to how students learn; it's too bad that my generation didn't have the opportunity to learn in such a rich and fulfilling atmosphere.
