Passionate Learning

The lack of passionate learning [self-esteem] is contradictory, whether it is love or indifference ... This phenomenon is also called "distance from self". As someone may want something, at that advanced stage, we no longer answer the phone; if it is not immersed in remembrance, we say "no" I can. - Joan Didion, "About Self-esteem" As a part of the high-level project last spring, I took a Tai Chi course and studied how meditation is used for psychosomatic medicine.

Charles Darwin had a strong interest in learning, but this passion was not cultivated in the classroom. "There was no pursuit in Cambridge, which brought me the pleasure of collecting beetles," he recalls in his autobiography. Cambridge is one of the best learning institutions ever and is not comparable to Darwin's own curiosity. I can not deny that he worked hard on his development. "One day when I tore the old bark I saw two unusual beetles, one on each of the hands, I could not lose it, so I decided what I had on my right It sprung out some strong irritating liquid and burned my tongue as the third bullet. "

Educators must help readers stimulate passion for learning, passion for inquiries, passion for reading, and perseverance. To stimulate enthusiasm for learning, learners are necessary and deserve a choice. They should read materials, choose goals and strategies, and choose the subject of questions. This is not to say that educators should not instruct and instruct students to make informed decisions about learning, but we should do so in a way that respects the students' voices. In order to provide appropriate choice opportunities, literacy educators need to understand the students and understand the passion, the idea, the strengths, and the possibilities for growth.

The problem with today's school system is that not all teachers are passionate about what they teach and that not all students are passionate about what they have learned. Sometimes these two conflicts occur very infrequently. Normally someone can choose what they are learning, university, college or vocational school. Until the moment the author visited, the school felt like I had to do - obligation. As I have seen, the school is just a framework - a group of people and people sitting and chose to fit the crowd. This is not particularly my favorite thing, it will definitely not excite me or get excited about me.
