There are so many children who could do a lot better if they had the right amount of support. That is why it is so important that early childhood centers have highly qualified teachers. This way the children's education can be more appropriately individualized.

I like your latest blog! I think the analogy fit perfectly with children and the nourishment that they need. It's sad to think that not all children have the proper "nourishment" to be built back up or "spring" back up whether it be at home or even with other environments that they may be a part of. I think think it's a reminder to all of us adults out there to be mindful of our children that we will take responsibility of in our classrooms and be equally respectful and build a strong relationship with them. Thank you Prof. Funk!

I really love what you wrote, it is so true!
It made me think about what I want to my students when I go back to my country.
I really want to help the students to have successful future, because they will build the future of the country.
AND I believe that the start is the most important thing, everything depends on it. So, we got to work hard with the young student to make the good future.

Thank you

Professor Funk:

What a beautiful sentiment! I think that we as teachers/future teachers should really consider this idea that children need to "blossom" and grow, and sometimes they need OUR encouragement to do so. If a teacher isn't conscious of a student who needs their own special water and sunlight, it's possible that student may "wither and die". If teachers expect all students to be the same plant or flower or tree, many of the students will not get the proper care and nurturing they need. I think it's crucial to consider students as individuals and not a whole, single body.

From Jodi ICL class.
I love this posting. It is so true. What a wonderful thing to give children a new "life"/chance each year. I often hear parents complain that teachers have to do testing at the begining of the year. They wish there were some way to pass on the info to the next teacher. I totally disagree. I think it's essential to give kids a fresh start and I don't think educators should discuss the needs of kids from year to year. I think by giving kids this "fresh" start...we help them to become all that they can be.
