blog post 4, Speaking and Listening in the classroom

When it comes to listening and speaking in the classroom, there is a certain curriculum each class has to follow and achieve by the end of their school year. School aged children must learn to listen and respect other when sharing information, they also have to start responding to each other feedback. Middle school they start forming opinions and discussing while still learning to discuss and respect each others time speaking. In high school, they start forming opinions on major issues  in the world and start forming arguments on their opinions, while still respecting one-on-one time and listening when other are speaking to the class or their own peer.
I truly think this needed in civilization or out in the real world because the more we listen to one another, the more we understand about each other or understand a taboo subject. Having the skills to listen is a respectful trait we sometimes lack in our society, and speaking or sharing information can build confidence in individuals about their own beliefs.
I never realized how much goes into addressing and organizing respectful listening and speaking structure in the classroom. There is organization and accountability skills when it comes to learning speaking and listening skills. Secondary is more focused showing up to class everyday because there will be discussion and students are expected to bring evidence or research to present to their peers. There is way more to it than just being quiet when being talked to and providing/ presenting information when told.
With the NES section, active listening is different than just listening. Active listing has more interaction involved between peers, and peers to teacher. Feedback is required, and that means attaining as much information as possible while listening to an individual present their ideas to the class or in a small group.
