Exploring WE Virtual Learning Center

     Today I Looked into the WE learning center, and I can say that the most interesting one I found was, Restorative Justice Module. 

In short definition the Restorative module, is to stray away from traditional school things. I, someone of the most new generations believe that the older ways of teaching Dose not work. The more years pass, the more the way of teaching should as well. 

    One of te many things Ive started seeing in high school before I left was self care days. Schools, educators, and staff as now realizing that school is not only stressful for teachers but students as well. i've had teachers that had dedicated on day out of the week to let the class relax and do whatever. Some kids use that class period to catch up on other work, some students slept during that time, and others just talked. This gives the students a bigger break. I don't count lunch as one because most lunches on go to 20-30 minutes and then they are back to class. 

    Another example is having children who miss homework, or misbehave sit out of breaks. I've seen kids who have doe these things and then are force to sit alone while other children play for their break. Having kids isolated during these brakes hurt them socially. This is their only real time to socialize outside of class and you as a teacher shouldn't take that Childs time. If a child is missing homework, you as a teacher should talk with you student and come to a conclusion. If your student is misbehaving, pul them aside and figure out why and how to stop. 

    Getting rid of toxic educational traditions is so important. The better way for a student to like school, is for them to have a good relationship with their classmates, school, and educator.
