Many of the members of my PLN would be surprised by the fact that I was a struggling learner (well at least according to my grades). I was actually pretty bright, but absolutely hated homework and quite often chose not to do it. I had other things. I loved to study in a group. Loved good discussions with teachers, and loved listening to smart people talk. But I hated doing homework, especially things that just seemed like busy work, and man did it affect my grades. Did my grades reflect my knowledge, well maybe the grades on my tests, but not the grades on my report card. I still remember my high school guidance counselor telling me that I should probably aim for a community college or just think of going into the armed forces. No college would want me and that he wasn't sure I was ready for that level of work. I guess it just goes to show, that a report card doesn't always report true knowledge or ability. And maybe everyone needs to remember that not everyone learns in the same way or at the same pace, even though our system tries to make it appear that they should. I am not sure I have all the right answers for your questions, but I sure know some wrong answers. Keep asking the same great questions here. They are important!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253581819528923595noreply@blogger.com
