Lesson 29

Lesson 29

1. Warming up activities

The main problem is the training itself, namely, that everyone is put under the same bar and is required of everyone in the same way. Not everyone has the same makings, so I believe that many items are not needed. Yes, of course, everyone needs to know the basic basics to navigate the world, but in high school, when a person already adequately perceives everything, and knows approximately what he will need in life, what he is interested in. And then, I am sure, most of the problems will disappear, as the children will learn what they really like.

2.)Follow up activities

Ex. 87

1. Our principal stands for mutual trust among the collegues.

2. Do you think it is right to ask the professor questions during a lecture?

5. Last year George got unsatisfactory marks for his essays but in the 9^th form all teachers marked his progress: he’d taken exams in 8 subjects and failed none.

6. — Yesterday I’ve met our former principal, I haven’t seen him for ages. He no longer works at school and has changed dramatically over the past decade.

— Yes, now he works at the department of American culture at our college, I’ve listened to his course of American studies.

4.)Vocabulary building and word formation

1. Существует столько же мотивов для обучения на дому, сколько и самих учащихся на дому, но общее мнение среди тех, кто выбирает обучение на дому, заключается в том, что образование в государственной школе не является бесплатным; оно характеризуется насилием в государственной школе, негативным влиянием сверстников и плохими учебными заведениями. Сравните это с тем акцентом, который домашнее обучение делает на обучении ради самого обучения. Многие семьи, обучающиеся на дому, вообще не используют оценку, считая этот процесс ненужным.

2. Материальное имущество, физические атрибуты, популярность или использование наркотиков часто становятся критериями, по которым оцениваются сверстники; носить “правильную” одежду, говорить “правильные” вещи, встречаться с “правильными” людьми или вступать в “правильную” банду-это средства, с помощью которых человек может повысить свой социальный статус.

6.)Extention activities

Many people may say that homeschooling is not the best way to study. They believe that home schooling has a negative impact on the development of students. But other people think that such training has many positive features. They believe that all children should receive home schooling. Undoubtedly, there are opinions both for and against.

On the one hand, there are many positive aspects to homeschooling. homeschooling is suitable for gifted children who are bored with everyday lessons. Therefore, children have the opportunity to choose individual training. After all, they have a flexible schedule and can learn at home at their own pace. And children can learn the material more quickly and more effectively.

On the other hand, there are people who are against home schooling, because it is difficult for students to learn without the direct help of a qualified teacher. For this reason, not all students can be educated at home. They also have a lack of communication with their peers. As a result, students may have problems communicating.Moreover, this method of teaching is expensive, it requires a lot of money to hire a teacher. Therefore, only some parents can pay for such training.

As a result, although there are many positive things about home schooling, there are also significant drawbacks. I believe that all children should be educated in a regular school. Because the kids will have a lot of new friends there. They will have no social problems. In the same way, children will feel natural in society. I can say that home schooling is not the best way of education.
