I believe that all children are capable of learning new things and building on old ones. As a teacher I believe that it is my responsibility to teach students the skills that they will need for a successful future. Students also need a strong foundation of critical thinking skills. Students who have a strong foundation of critical thinking skills will have an easier time dealing with problems that may arise.
Every student is an individual and needs to feel comfortable in the classroom.
Therefore I am. For children it is hard for them to understand what is real and what is not. They also sometimes wonder why everyone isn't the same. Descartes saying above helps us to understand why we are individuals. He is trying to show us that as long as we think we are an individual and have our own personality.
