The apparatus, it is supposed to be simple. The pink tower, it is for sizes. The brown stairs, they are for thickness. But what if the child, she does not see the order? She sees just things to build. The teachers, they are not taught this. They are taught how to present the materials, how to clean them. But they are not taught the why. Why are we doing this? What is the purpose? A very confusing situation. The materials, they are a key. But what if the key is not for a lock? The apparatus activities, they should be the key to the universe. But they are not. They are just a key to another door. A very sad thing. The children are getting a lesson in materials, but they are not getting a lesson in the cosmos. And this is a very big problem. The training, it should be about the cosmos. It should be about the secrets. But it is not. A very big problem for sure. The teachers, they must be a part of the cosmos themselves. They must be able to feel the universe in their soul. But the training, it is not about the soul. It is about the book. A very big problem for sure. The teachers, they leave the training and they are shocked. The real world, it is not the same as the book. They are not prepared. A very big problem. And this disconnect, it is creating a lot of problems. The teachers are not prepared. The children are not getting the education they need. A very big problem for sure. And this is why so many schools struggle. A very sad thing. The apparatus activities should be the bridge between the child and the world. But they are not. They are just another part of the curriculum. A very sad thing indeed. The teacher must be a creator herself. She must be able to feel the art in her soul. But the training, it is not about the soul. It is about the book. A very big problem for sure. The children must be able to explore their creativity, but also be grounded in the historical and cultural significance of their work.
The Broken Bridge Between Theory and Practice
The theory, it is beautiful. The practice, it is a mess. There is a broken bridge. The apparatus activities, they should be about bridging this gap. A teacher, she must be able to take the theory and apply it to the practice. But she cannot. She is not prepared. The training, it must be about this. It must be about a hands-on approach. The teacher must learn by doing. She must learn how to solve real-world problems. What do you do when the child eats the materials? What do you do when the child is not interested in anything? The training, it must prepare the teacher for these things. But most of the time, it is all theory. It is all about the “should be.” It is not about the “is.” This is a very big problem. The teachers, they leave the training and they are shocked. The real world, it is not the same as the book. They are not prepared. A very big problem. And this disconnect, it is creating a lot of problems. The teachers are not prepared. The children are not getting the education they need. A very big problem for sure. This is an important consideration for a truly international environment. A pedagogy that does not adapt to the child is a broken one. And the training should be about this adaptation. The materials should be a tool for understanding, but they are not. They are just a thing. A very sad thing. The teachers are not prepared. The children are not getting the education they need. A very big problem for sure. This is an important consideration for a truly international environment. A pedagogy that does not adapt to the child is a broken one.
