'Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!'

February 10, 2009 at 04:02 - posted by merci

As being an ex teacher it concerns me, how kids of our age are being socialised and taught. Not only the tons of toys, the internet but furthermore the phones of the kids (because today almost all have one) may be one of the platforms of studying/teaching/training. A phone is one of those objects that almost all of us posses and carry on wherever we may go. To school, to work, to travel, to shop, to go out. This means that kids potentially have their own "pocket teacher" with them. The number of educational type of iPhone apps, just like the Math Sticker are growing day by day. Which means that the possibility for coming across an educational game for the kids is raising as well. Where will this generation get with all this platform and endless possibility they have? Today I have just came across a news, that a nine year old boy has developed an iPhone game, with which he wanted to surprise his littlesisters. No kidding that the new generation has a different approach to subjects as mathematics, physics, communication technology. The kids of my colleagues have a better understanding to e.g. our game Math Sticker, then me or my friends. The truth is that they are smarter and are improving quicker then any of the adults in my 'neighbourhood'. If kids can improve according to their own phase of improvement, then one of the famous lines of Pink Floyds should be underlined once again: 'Hey teacher, leave those kids alone'.  /Pink Floyd: Another Brick in the Wall/  More lines from the lyrics of Another Brick in the Wall:
'We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.'
