And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street….

This new wave of PBL and IT or other computer based teaching is in the top of the wave right now, we work with digital natives, and then we have to explore new ways to teach. New ways to bring the knowledge to the real life context, make it worth, but sadly it doesn’t  work well in all context, and some  cultural environment that do not brings this learning from basic levels is condemned to fail , the humans in general are easy used to get the things easy, not to work for it, some educational context do just that, all the info, all the teachers holding the students hands , telling them it is ok,  “ if you don’t want to work I understand, do not worry” ,”I’ll explain you and tell you exactly how to do it as much times as you want” , “do as much as you can, the rest is on me”. But, yes worry. One day those students become adults and they’re going to be us!( By us I mean teachers, doctors, drivers, professionals). I wonder what kind of adults we’re forming. What are we going to expect from this generation? If we keep teaching as now, when they face the real world they’re going to fail, no matter if they become police officers or doctors, you name it, I agree that we have to encourage our students to work more in teams, more in their own research, assess must change, the rubric is a correct approach in this way, but unfortunately this becomes usually a one man’s battle in my context. Some one young teachers are in the same ship as I am, unfortunately not the most.  At the public schools the changes comes delayed, and when they arrive, we’re working on other techniques other methods, and the changes are just in some levels, (sometimes basic school, others in secondary school etc) new captain, new plans, and the captains changes   very soon here.
