Dear Liuming, I’m sorry to hear about you had a hard time at school. I know that it feels bad when you make a mistake and other people tease or laugh at you.

When your mentee and his classmates were laughing at you about your accent, you should teach them to recognize their mistakes , tell them why they did to you was wrong and how it made you feel instead of ignore them.

However, my mentee are good at math, they don’t need my help actually. Ms. Miller asked me to help another girl Ashley. She was very nervous, so I explain to her step by step until she finished all. I feel really happy when she simply thanked me and gave me …show more content…

It needs be changed. Robinson emphasizes that kids should find their own passion on study and let them seek out the education they need to achieve it. In his view, schools are always focusing on how to promoted student’s grades, how to make sure students graduate successfully. He asserts that education must improve critical thinking skills instead of making kids learn prepared information. Kohn and Delpit states that school needs structural changes that makes best kind of teaching available to the kids who need it most. For example, for those low-income neighbours, school need to focus on how to teach them calculate numbers instead of critical thinking or creativity. Pedagogues there are rather warders that encourage obedience and punish
