I would say from my past experiences when you've grown so fond of people and use to working with them, its defiantly hard to spilt and go your separate ways. Most of our group members still talked on a daily at work others went back to being themselves. From my point of view I don't go to work to make friends long term more so just coworker friends so leaving a group doesn't really affect me much. I would agree that working with people who think the same way you do and move at the same pace is hard to come by and hard to let go. I say that because now- a - days people have no work ethic and no passion for what they do. Usually when a group project is over with we have a pot luck and all the participants bring something in. Leaving the group I defiantly gained different incites on how to get parents to participate on their children's lives. From the master program I have read and learned many things from my peers which will help me in my future endeavors toward owning my own daycare. Making sure everyone benefited from the group before going your separate ways is very important, otherwise it was all for nothing.
1."We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw 2.“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” -George Dorsey When I was younger play was a major part of my daily routine. I was barely in the house growing up, if anything I never wanted to back inside when the street lights came on. I learned so many rights and wrongs from climbing trees, riding my bike in the street, missing curfews, having play dates also taught me social skills as well. Parents always wanted the kids out the house, because sitting in front of a screen wasn't teaching them what they can learn from experience. Now a days it's a rare chance you see children who actually want to go outside and play, and that's all because of the time of techonokogy. Parents need to watch how much time they are letting their kids be on these tablets, cell phones, and computers.
Angie, your last statement has a 'force to be reckoned with' feel: 'Making sure everyone benefited from the group' is so important. We as educators are not time-wasters; we are here to make a difference in the lives of others.' I love your post!
