A Modern Way to Educate

A Modern Way to Educate

For centuries almost every child at the age of six to eighteen has had to wake up early in the morning, wear his school uniform and go to school. Have you ever dreamt of a different situation? Have you ever imagined studying at home? Actually, it happens(gr. - use the present progressive) because of a new approach to(ww.) education. I strongly believe this form of studying is good in some cases. Nevertheless, in other situations we should incorporate it with the usual framework.

To begin with, virtual schools may be an appropriate way to reach children in remote places or that are put(ww. - live) in a(מיותר) difficult conditions. For example, in Cast Leed Operation the Ministry of Education could reach pupils in cities and towns(מיותר) who could not go to school because of Squad launching. That way the students could stay in their shelters and study. However, this means failed to reach pupils who did not have computers at home. Those pupils usually came from a poor economic background.

Another point to consider is that virtual schools are efficient to those who have self discipline and are motivated to study on their own. Unfortunately, most Israeli students need to come to school and a teacher to guide them and tell them what to do. They will not study in a virtual school because a virtual teacher can not provide this. Therefore, virtual schools, in my opinion, are suitable for people who are autodidactic.

.

To conclude, in the light of the above, I believe virtual schools are good in certain situations and with pupils who are highly motivated. However, with less motivated learners it will not be effective. Thus, it will be a good idea to incorporate computer work in the classroom as we do in our English lessons.

Very Impressive!

Are educational trips for rich only?

Dear Madam,


Every year our school sends students to Poland to visit the death camps . These trips have a very important educational value .This year, our school is sending pupils to Poland ,however, the price is too high and, as a result, very few pupils can afford it. Therefore, I am writing this letter to complain about the high price of the journey .


First of all, like I said before, the journey to Poland is very significant for each student in our country. In that journey the students learn about the Halocaust that occured 70 years ago. In that Haloucast, the Natzi army systematically mudered 6 millions of Jews : men,women, children and babies . For that purpose, it is our responsibility to learn about what has happened in order to prevent such a future massacare. There is no doubt that this trip has significant meaning and each student should go on that trip. Therefore, because of its educational importance, such a trip should be affordable to most students .However, contary to this basic assumption , our school charges 9000 Shekels . This price is the most expensive price that a school has ever charged. I have asked other schools in the area and the prices range from 6ooo Shekels to 7ooo Shekels.


In addition, I know that our school has been working with a very expensive tourist agency for several years. Had the school asked other agencies to organize such a trip , it would have found much cheaper propositions . Therefore, I strongly ask you to check this tourist agency and compare its price with the prices other agencies offer.I am sure that if you find a cheaper price more students will be able to afford it.There is no reason why our school work with one tourist agency while others are better .


I would appreciate if you look into this matter and reply as soon as possible.

Looking forward to your response.



Sincerely Yours,

Noa Davari.

Very Good work!
