Week 9/10 - Q3

Should education 'stretch a person do you think? (What do you mean by 'stretch'?)

My interpretation of stretching a person, when it comes to education, is getting the most out of someone that it possible, using motivation, knowledge and social interaction so that a person can achieve the best to their ability, or even further. I do believe education should stretch a person, because they should be able to get everything in life they can, and be privilidged to do whatever they want to do in life.

Nevertheless i do not think students should be pushed or have education piled upon them constantly, otherwise it could have a damaging affect on them, as it would put them off learning forever.

Education should stretch a person by using all possible forms of teaching techniques, so people know how they learn best. Also motivation from parents and teachers and peers helps to create a nice atmosphere in which learning becomes possible. As well as this teaching tools, and variation is key to help learning, like computers and the internet, and going out side and observing the real world.
