| Open the door to the real world ! |
On occasion we may hear a student say "why do I have to learn this ?" or "what use will this be to me after school ?".
As a teacher I found this a bit frustrating sometimes because I knew more of the bigger picture that I was teaching towards - step by step. I knew that the seemingly irrelevant section of work was very important indeed.
Telling them "trust me, it's important" was not enough. I wanted to help open the eyes of my students to the living and working reality of the outside world. I wanted to give them some meaning and purpose in what they were doing within the walls of the classroom.
So I devised a very handy teaching tool !
