My classroom looks more like the 2nd picture. But that might merely be a reflection of the coordination skills of my Kindergarteners. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it. :-)
DeleteYes! Nothing happens in isolation in life, but we segment in school.
ReplyDeleteRight! But I'm still wondering about that practical application of that...I wonder if we can make school more closely resemble "real life" if we would use more conceptual, thematic teaching? It would probably require a pretty dramatic overhaul of the traditional subject-discipline based structure that most schools currently have in place.
DeleteBut disciplines/subjects are a systematic way to help see and interpret the second picture.
DeleteThat's true, David, and I agree with you. But I think--in general--we don't do a good enough job in education (at all levels) to help students see the connections between the disciplines. I wish it could be a both-and, not an either-or proposition.
