I still haven't found a happy, inspired, enthusiastic child who goes to primary school... later on, they just adapt, submit and finally accept! Like we have done!<br /><br />It is an insult that I am incapable as a parent to know the best for my child. It is an insult to consider the parent a criminal because she/he will not conform to injustice, lack of freedom and outdated limiting laws. We need to come together and stop allowing, stop fearing and demand our rights. We need to take action to change all that we want to see in our world.<br /><br />Please remember to add your name to one of our growing lists of supporters to win our case... my case is our case, our children, our future. <br /><br />Thank you Esme... your comment saddens me but also inspires me to move on!xristiana sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981503792317375592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023921444576491289.post-73619740032378805772015-04-22T23:00:52.729+03:002015-04-22T23:00:52.729+03:00My children attend Greek public schools. My son is... My children attend Greek public schools. My son is 10 yrs old and my daughter is 12yrs. I myself grew up in England and in a British school system. My parents both worked in schools and a lot of my attention has been drawn to different methods of teaching and teaching styles that allow for children of all kinds to learn, understanding that all children are different and learn best in different ways. <br />My son struggles with the system here, he is intelligent and yet the method of teaching here leaves him feeling 'dumb' to use his own expression. I constantly have to reassure him that he is not 'stupid' and it breaks my heart that he could possibly believe that he is. He is not 'stupid' or 'dumb' the system is. I tell him this in the hope that somehow I can prevent his self esteem from being ripped apart any more than it is. He is not alone, many children will come out of such a system believing that they are dumb and therefore worthless. The school system has let them down. Rather then supporting them, encouraging them and making learning fun it becomes a chore, a burden, something that somehow destroys their childhood rather than enhancing it. My son has described his school as being like a prison, which rather says a lot I think.<br />It is not difficult to educate children and I am not altogether anti-school, schools can provide an opportunity for many beneficial lessons and experiences to be had. However when the system only caters towards a few that are wired to learn in that one particular manner and does not put any importance on subjects such as art, physical education, music or more importantly on originality then many are left feeling unappreciated, unseen, ignored and therefore unworthy of the society that they live in. <br />I believe that teachers should be given the opportunity to come up with their own ideas regarding how to present lessons thus giving them the freedom to be passionate and enthused about the work that they are doing rather then bored and robotic. <br />I see the system here slowly chips away at both the teachers and the taught leaving both uninspired and unappreciated to damaging levels.<br />Given a choice I would send my children to a different type of school but there are no different types and that option is not available (yet), so I would, infact, rather that they didn't go to school at all as the detriment far exceeds the gain from the experience. It is our human right to be allowed to choose that which we as parents believe is best for our children, just as we are free to choose what they eat, what they do and other aspects that effect their well being and health. Schooling has a massive influence on our children's well being and their psychological health which they will carry forth into adulthood. We should be able to choose. As the school system is now and because the freedom to choose has been taken away from us, with regards to the effect it has on our children and their state of mind, it is the same as the law saying that we have to raise our children on a diet of hamburgers and chips, it is that damaging to their health on many levels and we are not given a choice to do any different.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249178886664570994noreply@blogger.com
