Education Earlier & Now
Today's education is very different than it used to be. Of course, they didn't have a computer, laptops, ipads, smartpones, digiboards and the internet. Computers are increasingly being used in schools, etc. There are even several ipad schools. At such a school, every child has their own ipad, where they work at their own level and pace to develop better. They have a program for the subjects in which they have to create assignments, when they have an assignment ready, it is automatically checked by the system, which saves the teacher's work, so that the teacher has more time to give children individual attention.
But they didn't use to. Writing used to be much more important than today, then everything had to be done with pen and paper, because they didn't have a laptop. If they had to hand in an essay or workpiece, it all went with pen and paper, to get information, you went to the library to find books on your subject. If you wanted to attach a picture, you pulled it out of a sheet.
If the teacher explained something, it went classroom, on the chalkboard and everyone had to be quiet, it didn't come to mind to talk or glands with a classmate, did you still have to detention. If the teacher explained something, you had to pay attention, because it wasn't as easy to find as it is now.
Met mantra manieren de tafels tot 12 geleerd, maar ik kan nog steeds goed hoofdrekenen.
Ik denk dat er in die tijd ook interesse en aandacht voor het individu was, alleen werd dat niet zo geuit.
Orde en fatsoenlijke discipline en maar op zijn tijd ook veel ontspanning, ik vind het wel goed voor basisschool kinderen.
Onze kinderen hebben de tijd van de 1e en 2e fase meegemaakt, een verschrikking waardoor veel kinderen een stuk gemist hebben.
Ik vond het nog niet zo´n slechte tijd, natuurlijk was niet alles beter, maar zeker niet slechter.
Ach tijden veranderen en mensen ook, gelukkig maar.
