You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I'll be honest, my initial response to this post was not favourable. However, after chatting with the lovely @ryivhnn, I realise I have a bias. You see, my daughters were failed by the school system in different ways (in England and Australia), which is why I decided to change to educating them at home. So I'll take this as an opportunity to just put some thoughts forward from the perspective of a mother who has experienced both the school system (not all bad, incidentally) and homeschooling.

dedicating themselves at home only to play.

I realise something could be lost in translation here, but for many homeschoolers learning through play is key, so this phrase feels like it's separating education from play and writing play off as useless. When you take something from the realm of fun then children and even adults aren't going to be able to find any passion or interest in it.

many parents have told the preschool teachers that they cannot carry out school activities with their children for many reasons: they do not pay attention, they say they are bored...

While some parents could just be making excuses, because they are struggling, my initial response here is that if the children don't pay attention or find it boring, then what is being done wrong in the material provided? The right kind of material, if put out on a table in reach of children, should grab their attention enough that they want to interact with it or ask what they can do with it. Of course, every child is going to be different in what grabs their attention, so different options could be useful as well. I realise that what you as a teacher provide the children may be dictated by the school system, so I don't know if you have any influence here, but it could be an option if you do.

The forced approach to learning at an early age can put someone off learning for life and that's the last thing anyone wants. My youngest daughter was put off reading by the school's approach and it took me months to undo that. I'm an avid reader myself, so I was heartbroken to think she might miss out on all that literature. Thankfully she now, no longer has an aversion to reading and has spent many hours absorbed in novels.

I also agree with you in that sense, not always the experience in early education in schools is the best, I am even one of those who think that forcing children so young to comply with a schedule, a program that sometimes becomes tedious and exhausting takes them away from the real objective. I am not saying that all teachers are bad or careless, on the contrary, I think there are many good teachers, but they will never be able to give personalized attention to a child when they have a classroom with at least 20 students, while at home the attention is focused only on the student. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well but I think that home schooling for the initial stage is a marvel.

You explained this very well, in my opinion.

I believe that the majority of teachers are very good. Few go into the profession if they don't have the best interest of the children at heart. Often it's not so much the teacher themselves, but the system rules they have to work within which can cause them to fail to cater for some of the children. The only teachers I've encountered who still excel for every pupil have been ones who work tirelessly, putting in endless hours at home in order to reach every pupil's need. I've had teachers admit to me that their hands are tied with regards to what they can provide for my eldest, who was way ahead of their scope at times.

Sadly, I've also encountered the odd teacher who just didn't really care about the children or showed favouritism. One of these types of teacher was the turning point for me taking them out of the school system.

I share your opinion in homeschooling, not everything is a game, parents are concerned about their children learning from love, kindness and understanding. I also recognize that there are some aspects that the post touches on that are interesting and good advice such as lowering stress when educating our children at home. I think that one of the biggest mistakes made by teachers, and I say this with full knowledge of the facts because I am a teacher, is the excess of tasks that make both the child and the teacher to be too busy.

the excess of tasks that make both the child and the teacher to be too busy.

We have a saying in English, "quality over quantity". Indeed, often much more is learnt and retained with quality input than a lot of input.

Would I be right in guessing that the excess amount of tasks isn't always something the teacher can control, but what comes from higher up?

Thank you for your input and sharing your viewpoint.

Saludos @minismallholding

Admito que la educación a nivel mundial a tenido sus aciertos y desaciertos, en ese sentido los padres comprometidos han buscado estrategias para formar a sus hijos, de tal forma que su aprendizaje sea el más idóneo para si hacer diario.

En ese sentido cuando hice mención a la frase:

dedicándose en casa solo a jugar.

Y cuando aseveras lo siguiente:

Me doy cuenta de que algo podría perderse en la traducción aquí, pero para muchos educadores en casa aprender a través del juego es clave, por lo que esta frase se siente como si separara la educación del juego y escribir el juego como inútil. Cuando tomas algo del ámbito de la diversión, los niños e incluso los adultos no podrán encontrar ninguna pasión o interés en ello.

Aclaro que cómo maestra de preescolar estoy conciente de la importancia del juego y sobre todo su papel en la primera infancia "aprender jugando es el lema" ahora bien aunque los.niños realizan el juego este para que sea aprovechado debe tener una intencionalidad a fin de poder obtener la respuesta cognitiva en ellos, esto no quiere decir que durante el juego libre el niño no aprenda de forma inconscientemente.

Si bien algunos padres podrían simplemente estar poniendo excusas, porque están luchando, mi respuesta inicial aquí es que si los niños no prestan atención o lo encuentran aburrido, ¿qué se está haciendo mal en el material proporcionado? El tipo correcto de material, si se coloca en una mesa al alcance de los niños, debe captar su atención lo suficiente como para que quieran interactuar con él o preguntar qué pueden hacer con él.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esto la atención en los niños es muy corta y esto producto de su poca madurez cerebral, por lo tanto el uso de recursos adecuados nos dará mejores resultados que un lápiz y papel, soy participe de ser disruptiva en el aula, para mí la innovación es clave en un aula de clases.

El enfoque forzado del aprendizaje a una edad temprana puede desanimar a alguien de aprender de por vida y eso es lo último que alguien quiere. Mi hija menor se desanimó con la lectura por el enfoque de la escuela y me tomó meses deshacer eso. Yo mismo soy un ávido lector, así que me rompió el corazón pensar que podría perderse toda esa literatura. Afortunadamente, ahora ya no tiene aversión a la lectura y ha pasado muchas horas absorta en novelas.

Exactamente me sucedió lo mismo con mi hijo, la rigidez de su maestra y su importancia para ella en solo cumplir con los contenidos del grado nos llevó muy malas experiencias, sin embargo las logramos superar pero aún quedan secuelas.

Espero que cada día existan padres como tú preocupados y comprometidos con el aprendizaje. Gracias por leer, te envio un fuerte abrazo.

Thank you for a thoughtful reply. I have a headache at the moment, so I can't respond further than to let you know it's appreciated.
