I commented on Brian Crosby's post:
This post was basically talking about how some students are labeled as bad students because they do not do well in class. Brian said that we need to look where the student comes from and family situation before we judge the student.
In primary education, knowing the students background is sometimes very important. A student might miss behave not because they are “bad”, but rather they would rather stay at school in after school detention than go back home. As educators, we should be aware of this and be able to help the student in his or her situation. I do not think that one can be taught to teach in the class room, but rather they learn to teach by teaching.
"The Important Book" a Writing Lesson
In this post, Brian talks about how he has taught his children to want to write and find mistakes. He has them post their reports on his class blog. By doing this, he makes it where they want write and write correctly. He say's by doing this he has improved there English levels. He also say's that he uses it because "it fits a skill set my students don’t have", so it is not for every student. I commented on how he said you have to let "a certain level of 'mistakes' go by-the-by". If you start off strict and hard you are just going to make the student want to do it less.
