Our public school system should provide students with a knowledge base from which they can build and function successfully in the world. Students should be challenged to excel rather than simply strive. What they learn in the classroom will influence their career choices and life decisions.
Students can, do, and want to learn.
It is our nature as human beings to want to grow and develop learn. In order for students to retain the information being taught they need to be able to acquire knowledge of the material at a satisfactory level. They should be enthused over discovering, thinking and learning in general. Everything we do teaches us something, but having a good instructor can make a difference in how much, and how well we learn. A teacher is responsible for teaching specific knowledge, rules, processes, and concepts, but he or she also has to teach learning skills.
