Week 9- education being tailored to fit into their preferences

If teachers were there to fit their teaching methods to students preferences there would be problems in the long run.

The question is where do you draw the line?? If a child with cultural preferences wishes to make a change in the way a teacher is teaching, whose to say then that another child may have a problem with that?

This is a similar argument to when rules and regualtions are made and are changed because of peoples culture. At my secondary school, we were not allowed to wear jewlery, however, those religious people were able to wear a tiny cross. I agree, that there should be respect for others cultures and religion. But also, people should respect rules and reguations of a school. They are there for a reason. Its all about adapting to other cultures too.

I think that when it comes to teaching, students need to respect the authority of an educator and accept their teaching methods. What do others think?

You know what i think the same ... again lol. Yea i do see wht you are saying where do you draw the line on the tailoring of culture?

Everyone should be taught the saem in education and like Year 11 onwards can choice things they want to learn about.

I dont think it is a good idea to talior to fit preferences unless it is a nescesary. What do you think are some necessary meanings?
