Something to Ponder

(Technical)

After watching a video in class, about children teaching children, it raised a good question...are teachers really needed? The video suggested that children can learn a new skill or information on their own, without an adult guiding them, and turn around and teach it to someone else. Wow. What a statement. After watching this video I didn't know what to say or think. But I did know, that I did NOT agree with this idea. I challenge you to really think about this idea. Are teachers really needed in todays society? Do children learn better from one another rather than an adult figure? Are we now in a world of Google and that's all we need? How do you learn best? How do you think children learn best?
