Low-risk activities

I agree with main points of the article. In fact, I think one of the biggest problems in chilean’ schools is that teachers are boring, I mean, their activities are boring, so the students cannot and don’t want to learn because they are not interested. Moreover, most of the time, the contents do not belong to their realities and likes, and also that affects their processes.
Another thing is, many times teachers do not include students in their decisions, then pupils don’t feel part of their own learning.
The thing is that the article shows us good ideas to put in practice to make the students learn.
In Chile we need some less risky methods, as in the text said, the innovative activities are not risky, so we need teachers learning these kinds of things to improve the learning of their students.
In Chile, many times teachers just impose their thoughts and points of view over the student’s beliefs, actually without asking or without letting them express their opinions.
Now that I’m working in a school, I can prove, in some way, that kids learn with enjoyable activities and they work as well when something is fun and interesting to them.
