Hello All,
There is much labeling in the educational system. I understand the need for having systems of classification
for the purpose of communicating.
Sometimes I’ve wondered if the labels lead to limitations and excuses
for students, families, and those in the educational system. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes these labels
lead to students and families receiving much needed services from exceptional
professionals and programs. The last two
months I’ve run across the article Why French Kids Don’t Have ADHD in a variety
of publications. I’m not here to argue
on the matter, I rather you form your own educated opinion. It reminded me of a great TEDTalk from a few years ago, Sir Ken Robinson: Do Schools Kill Creativity. Don’t worry, it is upbeat and relevant to
teaching today no matter the grade level or subject area one has vested
interest. If anything, I hope you walk
away with an appreciation for TEDTalks, a wonderful resource for educators. Matter of fact, I recommend listening to the
TEDTalk if you only have time to view either the article or the video.
Celebrating human creativity and imagination,
Mrs. A
