Building Learning Structures Inside the Head

“Every individual has a brain but not everyone has a developed mind.” This might not have been the main part of the article but this quote jumped out at me right away. I don’t know what hit me first the odd humor I found in it or the obvious truth the quote possessed. I see this quote as trying to say that every student has the machinery to function and understand, they just need to be taught the owners manual. As a teacher one is given a variety of different students with different learning abilities and it is their job to give each of them a chance to learn. Teachers must not only give the chance to learn but to also teach the students to learn, just because someone has a brain doesn’t mean they know how to use it.
