Chapter 7
Something that I would like to think about, or talk about is the idea of the "no hovering" rule. This means that no teacher will hover over the students; the teacher must practice restraint and let the students figure things out for themselves as opposed to having the teacher answer every little detail for them. I think this is a great idea. The students should learn the idea of responsibility and begin figuring out ideas and concepts on their own. This will allow for the student to further grow in their ability to think. The next section clearly distinguishes the difference between not hovering, and intervening when necessary. It is important to be able to distinguish between the two. It's like being a parent. A parent should know when to help and when to observe and make sure the child learns on their own. I have come to find out that teaching is a lot like being a parent; you are guiding the child through life, and furthering their education through opening up their minds to the new ideas of the world. I would write more but the thoughts inside my head are getting tired, so I think I will stop now and save my thoughts for further conversation that I know will be going on in our classroom!
