Comment on Teaching Values: early lessons in hypocrisy by Edward Colozzi

Edward Colozzi — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:56:58 +0000

Thanks Ed for your refreshing and stimulating take on values, hypocricy, and the confusion this all evokes in the minds and hearts of many youth. Both your post and the briief paper on your link, serve as an alert, a wake-up calls to all stakeholders who affect youth, especially parents and educators who have the most direct contact and responsibility in caring for and educating youth. Values are at the core of everything we do, have done, and will do regarding all our career-life decisions, across our life roles and life span. Clarifying our own values is a first step in living our lives in integrity and then interacting with others, especially in care-giving activities that affect the valuing process of youth.

I have a post on vlaues that might be useful. http://bit.ly/tSDKOU

Thanks Ed for your excellent ideas. EdC

Comment on Are Classroom Teachers Ultimately Responsible for Economic Development? by erozycki

The issue is not what the students learn, but whether the economy will have enterprises which can employ their skills. Or, even more important, whether those who run the enterprises care to employ graduates for their skills. In the US, there are skilled workers whose jobs have been shipped overseas because labor is cheaper there. The US workers’ skills and their schooling have become irrelevant. Schools cannot plan for decisions that might be made in the future by those who control employment openings.

Comment on Are Classroom Teachers Ultimately Responsible for Economic Development? by Hasan Dhaif

Hi,
I believe it is not a yes/no question sometimes as mentioned classroom is a major cause of the economic development while at other times it has no relation.

it depends on the case you are discussing for example in some countries they are aiming to have education with a high quality which ensure that the students who going to graduate will benefit the economy in the future as they may contribute through applying the knowledge they got. So education and classroom learning is an important issue.

WHILE, in other poor countries once the student achieve a good level of learning will leave the country and go to another where s/he can get better standards of living so the quality of the learning in this sort of countries will not improve the economy of the country.

You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation however I find this topic to be actually something that I believe I might never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I am taking a look ahead on your next submit, I’ll attempt to get the hang of it!

The Ideal Citizen: a Wimp and a Liar? « ALTERNATIVES — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:23:40 +0000

[...] Docility is valued — is preached to be a sign of “superior class” — because a docile person offers little resistence to a superior’s importunity, is long suffering, and, in continuing traditions of hypocrisy, undermines himself or herself morally so as to erode any ethical basis for resistence to exploitation. (But see also, The Ideal Citizen: tactful and retiring — a reconsideration?) [...]
