Students are not just another brick in the wall. Students need to be encouraged on a diversified level to enhance their learning experience and provide multiple learning opportunities based on their individual needs. If we look at children as just another brick, we have failed to lay the foundation of student growth.

Students must be encouraged to interact with peers and learn to problem solve through play. Students should not be neglected of play. The emphasis on play is encouraged in early childhood however gets lost as the students grow older. Students need to participate in various activities that encourage play to become active participates in what they are learning.

 

Students emotions can be easily hurt. If students are taught to be just like everyone else they will not be able to make their own decisions in the future. If students are not allowed to play, they won't be able to deal with emotions and will have trouble problem solving on their own.

We must find ways to explore their world even if the world is inside a classroom. We must be able to bring imagination into the classroom through play as well as through individuality. We must encourage dramatic play and creativity in order to help students become more successful and improve academic growth.
