Does Science For Kids Begin And End In The School Science Lab
Science for kids is sometimes a bit of a frustration, or in some cases an enigma! When I taught science to high school students the question that was often put to me was “Yea, but what relevance is this going to be to me later in life?” I suppose that is a fair question, as I asked the same of studying Shakespeare when I was at school.
Now, with some years of “real life” under the belt, I can look back and realize the lessons that even dear old Mr. Shakespeare taught me. Romance, what mistakes not to make and thinking with your head and not your heart (OK maybe a little bit of heart) being just some of the few that that great man taught even the most skeptic scholar, and this without me even knowing it!

Why Educators “Teaching To The Test” Are Destroying Student Learning & Teacher Individuality
I’m a Kindergarten Teacher and my partner is very open to allowing me to “do things according to my own style” of teaching. However, statewide and nationwide that doesn’t seem to be the norm anymore, and it’s destroying teaching and student learning as we know it.
Just take a look at your own “best” teachers growing up. Didn’t they all kind of “do their own thing” rather than just read out of a textbook to peak your interest?
