Lesson 7

After reading and pondering the debate about teens lacking adult reasoning capacity, yet being held to adult consequences, what do you think this means for you as a teacher?

Because teens use different parts of their brains than adults, shouldn't we educate them differently? These last few months I've realized that learning as an adult is completely different than when I was younger.  It's harder.  As teachers, we need to take advantage of this and teach to meet their needs and different brain functions.  It also means, sad to say, that we will have some students who we can't help or save because of their choices they've made.
