Mrs. Stanton,

I have to say I really enjoyed your philosophy of education. To say the least, I am motivated to motivate . Regardless, best of luck in your studies.

I agree with your philosophy of education to a point. I believe that it is, in fact, the role of a teacher to inspire the student to want to perform. I however, tend to disagree that 80 percent of the educational workload falls to the student outside of the classroom (especially in primary education). As a musician, I truly understand a "practice, practice, practice" mentality, but find that transferring that mentality to students that may not be interested in certain subject matter difficult. Not to mention, many students may not have the familial support to commit to large amounts of study time outside of the classroom. It seems that it is the teacher's role to motivate students to WANT to learn outside the classroom, but not to set the standard of NEEDING to study largely outside the classroom.

Hi Christine,

Haha practice practice practice that defiantly sounds like my old music teachers. It makes perfect since though you can only take a child so far before they have to take the leap by themselves. Being an art teacher and i a musician i know that what you put into your work is what you get out of it. Teachers are merely there to help the student jump hurdles they couldn't before.Pbald005 (talk) 03:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
