The Roots of Debate in Education and the Hope of Dialogue
By: Deborah Tannen
I enjoyed reading this passage even if it was a very long one. i think that Deborah Tannen had a good voice and was quite entertaining. Somethings that i found interesting were the section on learning by fighting.
I really liked this section because it was interesting to see the different stlyes of teaching there is and how they work or do not work for their society. I found it interesting that in a french class they had to stand up and one at a time and repeat a poem in class.. the teacher would make the do it till it was perfect.. my reaction was the same as probably most Americans would that this is mean that and that the teacher was rude and there is to much being focused on memorization which does not really matter.
Overall i really liked this piece of writing. It is interesting to see the different diversity we have in education, how we debate and many other great things that Tannen brings up.

ReplyDeleteI dont know if I would have made it through elementary if my teachers would have been like the French teacher. I think I would have developed a hate for education if I was forced into learning and not given the opportunity to learn for myself. I am glade we dont have such forceful ways of learning here in the U.S.
