of TRADITIONAL vs MODERN

I just don't understand why other peoples seems to be comfortable on what they have right now. They don't want to explore the world beyond their what so called "comfort zone". People who are close minded and would always reject new ideas. It so sad that these people did not even experience the other world aside from the world they have right now and yet they feel superior. Other people still look up to them and praise them without hesitation, do things the way they want it to be, and insist things to other people though it does not really suits the person.

I pity those kind of people, they were deprived of exploring their real self because from the very beginning they were acting like robots - doing things that are programmed and designed for them. They were not given the chance to explore the possibilities the modern times brought to them.

In the teaching profession, a lot things had been changed. From classroom teaching up to the content of the lesson. Even classroom management. Students nowadays knows their rights and privileges in education. Teachers are somehow a page away from their students and cause them to be stagnant for some time. That is why the teacher should never stop learning and exploring new ideas for his teaching improvements.

I for one worries that my students for the next 5, 10, or 15 years would know a lot of things compare to me. But that's the reality, that is why i never stop exploring new things and ideas for my teaching profession. You just have to learn to accept that as the years/time passes by your becoming more and more traditional because of the new technologies invented and new strategies developed in the teaching profession. We have to accept that whatever things we taught to those kids before might not be applicable to the kids of the modern times. We have to embrace new ideas and new ways of defining, molding and enhancing the skills of our students.

I know traditional things are still helpful but not all of those are all applicable in the modern times.

It's about time to THINK.....
