class
In class this week we continued to revise our Weebly's and went over and article detailing "The Banking Concept of Education". It is a critique of practices of education in which the student is merely a receptacle of knowledge, and not learning how to apply said knowledge into their lives. We discussed it in class, some of us had dissenting opinions on the matter in as much that the concept can be used in conjunction with other more open ways of learning. The homework for the week dealt with personal growth. We were asked to watch several videos on a growth vs. fixed mindset and summarize it, using personal accounts and experiences. It culminated in writing a "This I Believe", which will help others understand various points of inspiration in our lives.

This week at home my six year old niece stayed over and most of my time was dedicated to her. My brother, Her dad, as well as my parents had to work a lot so in the meantime I was at home with her. I took her to the park and out to eat, and decided to spoil her with a new barbie house, and those things are expensive as shit. but it was all worth it to see her smile. Other than that I was swamped with homework that I hate but I'm sure all of it will pay off in the long run.
