There often seems to be a perception that teenagers (and all children, perhaps) are just unsuccessful adults. There seems to be this assumption that if we just get them to behave "right" they will reach that goal of being an adult. However, like you, I feel that this demeans our students by not taking into account who they are and where they are at in their lives. Once we can respect our students as people (not adults in training) they can respect themselves and us allowing for more meaningful learning. Thanks for bringing this up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
