Progressive teaching vs. Factual teaching

Factual teaching has it's place in the world, but not for most things. I think the only place factual teaching has is in science and math. Since both of those subjects use all sorts of numbers and experiments, they have to be factual in order to be taught. I say this because numbers and experiments have to be constant and factual in order for us to learn anything or else they wouldn't have any credibility. But if factual teaching is used for almost anything else, it defeats the purpose of teaching. Teaching is meant to let the students grow in their own intellect, not the intellect of the facts they are told. Which is why progressive teaching should be the preferred method of learning.

Thoughts on Mona Lisa Smile

I thought the movie was okay. It is a good story and shows how there are many people who try to keep up with their appearance rather than being their self. I didn't really have a favorite scene because I didn't really like the movie. The message behind the movie was good but it had too much side drama that was quite annoying and was unnecessary.  

Mona Lisa Smile

I believe that "Mona Lisa Smile" will be about girls who go to college but aren't expecting to ever use their degree because they are expected to get married and only raise the kids while the husband provides for them. But then a new lady professor comes and tries to get the girls to realize that they can make their own choices and not let society tell them how they need to live their lives. In result, the girls slowly start to realize that the new professor is trying to help them and they listen to what she tells them about how they can be independent.

High School Exams and College Exams

My thoughts on these two kinds of exams are probably the same everyone else who made this post. I think college exams will be much more difficult than high school exams. Considering that most every high school teacher will go over the material that will be on the exam that already makes it ten times more easier than college exams where the professor probably won't go over the material. I honestly don't do anything to prepare for my high school exams, I just walk in and take the test. But if I am ever to take a college exam, I'm sure that I will probably end up cramming the week before (or of) the exam. I've never really studied for anything, so I guess cramming would be better than doing no studying at all.
