Very forward thinking person obviously. The Dragon is awake! If I were twenty years younger there is no other place I would be. My experience in Suzhou with the kids and teachers in the public schools was wonderful but my old bones just need the sunshine we have here in Malaysia! (ex-Canuk)
Your insight into the issues we hope to have lively debates about will be very useful I'm sure.
I received an email from one of my former middle school students in Suzhou this week (now in first year high) and he mentioned he and his classmates were freely asking questions of their teachers and they in turn were doing the job of clarifying and expanding. (I taught them in the first lesson that without questions being in their minds or on their lips they would get no information and without information there would be no learning. It became a fun chant for the rest of the year and helped keep them on track.)
It would appear from this information that the Confucian tradition is learning to live with the Socratic. My argument has been that it makes for better and more encompassing learning (MI and learning styles considerations, etc.) What's your experience with this given four years in the system?
Nice to have you here, representing lady teacher beside Rosmi, a good oppotunity to share with competent teachers like William and Rod. Welcome aboard
