Umntu omtsha u-Donald Wiggins uthatha uvavanyo lokugqibela e-Forestville Military Academy eForestville, eMaryland.UMikha Walter / i-Getty Izithombe Omnye umama kwiphephancwadi elithandwayo wakha waxelela intatheli ngezinto awayecinga ukuba zazisenzeka ezikolweni. Ngoyena uqaqambileyo, okona kulungileyo kunye novakalelo kakhulu abasemngciphekweni, utshilo. Siphulukana nabo, kwaye asazi ukuba kutheni. Ewe, mama othandekayo, uphosakele. Siyazi ukuba kutheni. Kungenxa yokuba abantwana baqaqambile kwaye banovakalelo kwaye i eyona! Abacwangcisi bezentlalo abanalo unyamezelo kwaba bafundi, kuba banokuvukela iziko elifuna ukubalawula.
Ngexesha lam le-18 leminyaka kwizikolo zikarhulumente nezabucala, andizange ndive ukuba ndinabafundisi-ntsapho abaneleyo. Bambalwa kuphela ababalaseleyo njengabakhuseli bokucinga okucacileyo. Uninzi, kwelinye icala, yayiziirobhothi ezinengqondo ezazindilindele ukuba ndizokwamkela ulwazi olunomkhethe, londliwe ngokungakhathali kwaye lungaphunyezwa ngokunzulu. Ukuba ndikhe ndazama ukubacel 'umngeni, baya kundidubula bandixolele ngobulungisa nangomsindo bengandigxothi ngokulihlazo.
Kwi inqaku enesihloko esithi, Ukurhoxisa ukungaFundiswa kweMillennials, umbhali, uAdam MacLeod, unjingalwazi onxulumene neYunivesithi yaseFaulkner yaseJones School of Law, ushwankathele umbono wakhe wabafundi bakhe. Kwiminyaka eliqela ngoku abafundi bam bebesele beMillennials. Ngokuchasene ne-stereotype, ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba uninzi lwabo bafuna ukufunda. Kodwa kuyinyani kwintelekelelo, ndiya ndifumanisa ukuba uninzi lwabo alunakucinga, alwazi kakhulu, kwaye lukhobokiswe kukutya kunye neemvakalelo zabo. Iingqondo zabo zigcinwe kwintolongo eyenziwe yinkcubeko ye-elite kunye neeprofesa zabo zesidanga sokuqala.
Kuyandikhathaza ukuvumelana noProfesa MacLeod. Kunqabile kakhulu ukufumana umfundi onombono omtsha, ovela kukucinga okucacileyo, okhuselwe endaweni ngolwazi oluvakalayo. Uninzi lwazo luthetha amagama abalulekileyo asweleyo ukuqonda okunzulu ngalo mbandela. Iingqondo zabo zijikeleza ngokujikeleza kwinqanaba le-stratospheric, elinxibeleleke nje ngokunganyanzelekanga kwinyani. Abafundisi-ntsapho bakuphumezile oku ngononophelo ngokususa abafundi kumnqweno wabo wokufuna ulwazi kwaye bazilayishe ngolwazi olungeyonyani. Abafundi abalungileyo, abo bazabalazela imisebenzi ekumgangatho ophezulu, badla ngokuphela njengabo bakudidi lukaNjingalwazi MacLeod-ngolwazi olunqongopheleyo kunye nezakhono zokuqiqa ezibuthathaka. Kuba zombini ziyafuneka ukuze zisinde kwilizwe lezorhwebo, nayiphi na inzame yokutshisa umlilo womfundi ngaphakathi kolwazi (njengoko ndiyichonga kwincwadi yam enegama elifanayo), ngokoluvo lwam, isenzo somntu okhohlakeleyo ukukhubaza ukuzimela. umntu.
Ilizwe lethu lityibilike njani ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, ngokungenatyala (kubonakala ngathi) kweli lizwe, ukusuka kwisizwe esinamandla esinenkqubo enkulu yemfundo kwinto esiyaziyo namhlanje? Nantsi imizekelo embalwa yendlela ekwenziwe ngayo ngeentsuku zam zokufundisa kwizikolo zikarhulumente:
- Ukukhuthaza abafundi abangakhange baqale baphumelele kwizakhono zaseprayimari;
- Ukulahlekisa ixabiso lezifundo ezibalulekileyo ezithi ziphucule izakhono zokucinga kunye nokwenza nzulu ukuqonda (njengezibalo, isayensi, imbali, ingqiqo nolwimi);
- Ukuvuza abafundi ngokungakhethiyo ngokwamandla okanye ngempumelelo, kodwa ngobuhlanga, isini, umbala okanye imvelaphi;
- Ukufundisa ukufunda ngokujonga, hayi indlela yezandi;
- Ukwahlula abafundi eklasini ngokungafaniyo, hayi ngokufanayo ukuze yenze kube nzima kootitshala ukuba bafundise;
- Ukunciphisa ukufunda ukuya kwidinomineyitha ngabafundi abaneemfuno ezizodwa njengophawu lokulinganisa;
- Ukuthanda ukuthanda uqeqesho kunye nokufunda ngokukuko kwindlela yeSocrate yokufundisa;
- Ukwenza abafundi ikhowudi kunye nokubabonisa ukuzithemba ngelixa betyeshele imfundo yabo;
- Kwaye kunika abafundi amandla okulungisa ootitshala abanobuganga bokubacela umngeni.
Uxanduva lolu hlobo lomsebenzi wokufundisa aluphelelanga kootitshala. Oomongameli bethu baseMelika bakwanenxaxheba esebenzayo kwiingxaki kwezemfundo. Umntu ngamnye ukwenza oku ngesisa ngokumisela imo kwezemfundo, xa anyulwe e-ofisini, ziinkqubo alindele ukuba iSebe leMfundo liziphumeze. U-Lloyd Bentsen IV, oligosa eliphambili kwezophando, iZiko leLizwe loHlalutyo loMgaqo-nkqubo, kwingxelo yakhe yonyaka ophelileyo, wachongwa kwingxelo yakhe Amanyathelo amane ohlaziyo lwemfundo ezingaphumelelanga emva kokuba iibhiliyoni zeedola zimpompozwe ngokungenankathalo kwinkqubo yesikolo.
- Iinjongo 2000 (phantsi koLawulo lukaBill Clinton): Le nkqubo ixhase isakhelo sokuchonga imigangatho yemfundo yokulinganisa inkqubela phambili yomfundi kunye nokubonelela abafundi ngenkxaso efunekayo ukuhlangabezana nale migangatho. Iziphumo: Amagunya afihliweyo kushicilelo oluncinci abangele amazwe amaninzi ukuba ayilahle inkqubo.
- Akukho Mntwana ushiyeke ngasemva (phantsi koLawulo lukaGeorge Bush): Injongo ephambili yale nkqubo yayikukunyusa amanqaku ovavanyo. Iziphumo: Imfundo yonakaliswe njengoko abafundi beqeqeshwa ukuphumelela iimvavanyo kunokuba bafundiswe ikharityhulam etyebileyo yokulungiselela ubomi kule nkulungwane yama-21.
- Uhlanga oluPhezulu (phantsi koLawulo lukaBarack Obama): Le nkqubo ibonelele ngezicwangciso ezomeleleyo zokujongana neendawo ezine eziphambili zohlaziyo lwemfundo lwe-K-12. Iziphumo: Ngo-2012, amazwe ebesemva kakhulu kwishedyuli kwiinjongo zokuhlangana zokuphucula ukufundisa kunye neziphumo zesikolo kunye nezemfundo. Amazwe amaninzi afumana ukubuyela umva okukhulu ngenxa yezithembiso ezingekho ngqiqweni kunye nemiceli mngeni engalindelekanga.
- Isiseko esiqhelekileyo (phantsi koLawulo lukaBarack Obama): Le nkqubo ibeka imigangatho yento abafundi ekufuneka beyifundile kwinqanaba ngalinye lebakala. Iziphumo: Kukho ukubuyela umva kunye nokurhoxa kwenkxaso ngenxa yenkxalabo ekhulayo ngaphezulu kwenkqubo, njengeendleko kunye nexesha lokufundela elisetyenziswe kuvavanyo lukarhulumente.
Nangona zonke iinkqubo ezixabisa kakhulu zonke zazivakala zibalasele kwithiyori, nganye kuzo, xa iphunyeziwe, yeza nezinga lokungazinzi kwinkqubo yokufundisa. Kwimeko nganye, impumelelo yathintelwa kukungabikho kocwangciso olukrelekrele. Ukudibanisa ukungaphumeleli, uninzi lootitshala abanamava, besazi isiphumo, ngokusekwe kumava abo, baziphatha ezi nkqubo ukuba ziyintoni-iifashoni ngaphandle kwexabiso lemfundo elihlala ixesha elide. Uninzi lwabo, bazibona ezi nkqubo njengendlela engenankathalo yokongeza olunye uluhlu lokudideka kwinkqubo yemfundo. Ndakhe ndathi imfundo karhulumente irhafu yezigidi zeedola. Ngokwenyani, ingaphezulu koko. Sele ingumatshini osasaza ubuxoki osetyenziswa kukumisela ukomeleza iziseko zopolitiko kunye nesizukulwana esilandelayo sabavoti. Ngokwenza buthathaka ukufunda kunye neenkqubo ezingafanelekanga kunye nokudala isiphithiphithi kwezemfundo kule nkqubo, kwandise ithuba lootitshala abanokuba notyekelo oluthile kwezopolitiko lokufundisa abafundi ngaphandle koxanduva kunye nokulungiselela abafundi babo inkqubo yehlabathi elitsha.
Yintoni esiyenzayo ukuzisa konke oku kuma? Impendulo ilula. Kufuneka sifunde simahla kungenelelo lukarhulumente kwaye sinike abazali inkululeko yokuzikhethela uhlobo lwemfundo olulungele iimfuno zabantwana babo.
