Alex commented on the post, Assessments :) I believe it has to do with the fact that we have been taught to simply comply with what we are supposed to do. The students who do well, even when assessments aren't properly aligned, have been taught that in […]

Jasmin Ganti commented on the post, Assessments :) Why is it......even with these assessments seemingly not aligning with information presented......are there still students that succeed? Alexis is clearly right in saying that "my brain works differently than […]

Jasmin Ganti commented on the post, My brain works differently than yours?!? You make a great point Alexis. My way of learning is completely different from the next person's way of comprehending the world around them. I think here you shed more light on how some teachers get caught up in […]

Alex commented on the post, My brain works differently than yours?!? I completely agree with you Alexis, sometimes teachers forget that everyone learns differently and they limit themselves by measuring a student's ability by a score. This is such a hard topic to handle: Who can […]

Alex commented on the post, Experimenting as a Valuable Way of Doing Science Jasmin I think you did an amazing job in asking the reader to take an active role in their scientific pursuits. Rather than blaming the education system or the teachers themselves, you give the reader a sense of […]
