Big Brother Inspired Teacher Training |
|
Linda Dobson |
|
People who remember the age-segregated classrooms of their own schooling wonder how in the world you can possibly teach children of different ages (or grades) at the same time. Maybe they tell you all children in this situation are getting short-changed in the process. You, however, see that homeschooling grows ever easier with subsequent children because little ones seem to pick up knowledge by osmosis when older siblings are learning in their vicinity. You perceive that the family environment supports social and emotional development easily and naturally as younger children take clues about growing up from older siblings. You know interaction between children of mixed ages mirrors the real world, and children grow more inclined to accept and help each other.
