I believe a common theme among the three articles for this week's blog quiz is that kids are competent!
In regards to these articles, our readings, and our talks in class, kids
are capable of more than teachers, or any adult really, often think.
For instance, we should all be aware now that our students might know
more technologically than we do at times. I think one of the main ideas
is that we need to let these kids explore; do not hold them back.
"When adults see young people misbehaving or underperforming, they often respond by infantilizing young people even more[...]"
Kids are a lot smarter than we all think. We should let them show it and
never hold them back. Because, as we saw in the O'Brien article, if
they are held back and get the feeling that they are incapable, then
they will think that too, and that is detrimental.

Kids are more than competant, they are our teachers just as much as we are their teachers. You make some great insights here Willis - Way to go girl!
