The Collins dictionary describes stretch as to extend oneself to the limit. I feel that is important to stretch oneself to ensure that one makes progresses in life. If scientist didn’t stretch themselves to the limits then the likes of Darwin wouldn’t be a name that we all are all aware of. Education should push people to their full potential otherwise everyone would remain stagnant. Looking at “digital immigrants,” it is important that these individuals push themselves to learn about technology if they don’t then they are going to be remain behind hand. Children with the regards education need to “stretch” their knowledge on the likes of English, Maths, Science and technology because these are all a part of everyday life and knowledge that is essential. When we began blogging we had a basic knowledge on the Internet, but the series of blogs has stretched us further to our limits in order to extend our knowledge in regions of New Media, exploring conception we wouldn’t otherwise be aware of.
Saying this however, there is only so far that individuals can be pushed, I hate pushy parents who continually push their children to strive to such an extent that children have no social life at all.
