GREENBURG

What Greenburg is saying is very similar to what Large is saying. It also feels as if they both would argue against the banking system of education. Both of these people feel that it is just as important to build the character of the student, to make them into someone who wants to and can succeed rather the just shovel facts into their heads and punish those who can’t hold onto them. Where Greenburg differs is he thinks a more enlightened or spiritual approach is key and Large was more of a challenge them and let them learn through failures. Greenburg feels a person must be able to get to know their emotions and express how they feel in order to be able to get in touch with their success. He states “This can make it possible for them to reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, and since a pretty good percentage of teenagers are at risk for depression, it’s important to have it in the educational tool bag.” I strongly agree with this. If there is a method to take some of the high stress, anxiety filled, depression out of being a high school student then this is beneficial. Everything that is going on at that age is hard to deal with, anyway to ease or gain control of all those feelings will no doubt help that student academically as well as in most other aspects of their lives.
