A reflection about the challenges of teaching this new generation.

The challenges of teaching this new generation is a controversial issue nowadays. Teachers are forced to manage with certain difficulties such as, over use of technology, the educational system, and the social environment which affect our learners emotionally.
As regard the emotional impact I refer to those students with lack of affection, or those who live in poor conditions, or who suffer from any addiction.
The list of troubles seem to be endless, but we are disturbed from the most noticeable ones such as, the great amount of time apply to technology. The spend most of the time using any kind of technology, consequently it makes them less critical thinkers as technology stops their creativity.
The educational system is gradually changing, but the way in which it is organised seems to become less professional people. Many times teachers are strict in their works. However the educational system doesn't allow them to be strict in their marks and at the end of the year everyone must pass. It is unfair to those students who really deserve the glorification, and the irresponsible students continue being unaware of studying because they know that, at last they will pass.
I don't know how to solve these obstacles, but I think that we must try to encourage our students with topics they like and take advantages of the resources they use, for instance technology. We must try to teach facing these obstacles in the best possible way. It's a diffult task, but it's better to try it to never try!
