Master Quest Tutors

The amazing thing about my Master Quest journey is that I go from teaching fundamentals to grade R-4 students, to building good foundations with my Gr 5 to 8 students, to upping study techniques and skills with my Gr 9--12 students in the afternoons. My mornings are a mix of home schoolers and university students....
Take for instance today's roster is Adult students for a Project management workshop, followed by my junior sessions and finishing off with reviewing third term exams with my senior students.
No day is the same - I get to dabble with different subjects, grades, students of all ages, different learning styles and needs, different expected outcomes and a myriad of information ....I'm loving every moment and thankful for every opportunity. My goal will always be to help students believe in themselves, boost their self-confidence and help them find the magic and aha moments in learning 💞 Master- Quest -Tutors

Master Quest Moments:

There are two major things which I feel should be eradicated from the educational system:
That being homework and standardized tests.
But to do that the entire educational institution system needs to be reworked.
Curriculums need to be reevaluated.
Work load for both educators and students needs to be reduced.
Assessments should be done by giving students projects and assignments to do using all tools, techniques, and tricks they have been exposed to within a realistic timeframe.
Because let's face it:
Exams don't test the students ability to apply knowledge and problem solve, but rather their ability to memorise and regurgitate.
Homework is given because realistically speaking the curriculum is too chunky and does not fit into the proposed timeframe of a schol year - leaving gaps and requiring students to cover some of the work after school.
There is just too much admin and red tape involved in the educational system.
Education should be about exposing children to the wonders of the world so that they may understand the world around them - thus creating a caring outlook for the environment and the people around them. It should create people with the knowledge, thinking abilities and desire to build, restore, improve and maintain the world around them so that life can thrive and live in harmony with nature for a sustainable way of life.

Instead we are creating workers with very little free thought, limited knowledge, unnecessary tools and information - trained to live a life built around working and creating profits.
I long for the day policy makers, the puppet masters and the higher ups see the errors of their ways and change the way things are done for the benefit off all not just a few.
