others my age may dislike kids and the supposed annoyances they bring, I always have and continue to love kids. From their curious minds that soak up new information like a sponge, to their bright-eyed imagination, and their ability to find joy in anything.

Teachers should capitalize and enhance first what the students already know by allowing students to formulate a discussion outline of previous learned knowledge of subject matter in small groups. A group leader form each group is selected to produce that group’s outline for discussion. This is repeated until all groups have completed this process with a finished outline for the entire class to use as a forum for discussion.

A big new idea was the no student left behind law/ intuitive which wanted to use standards and accountability to raise students

Dear Mr. Grey, There are many things that I believe should be brought to your attention concerning a teacher in our school. Mr. O’Rourke hasn’t been using his skills of being a teacher to actually teach his students. In the beginning of the semester, our class started off with 30 students, and now there are only 10 left, and I believe it is because he lacks teaching skills. His lessons consist of reading from the textbook. Students like myself can read a textbook in the comfort of our own homes

gamesters. As a international student, I am educated by different systems of the two countries, and I think there are three problems in American education: American don’t care about students’ grades as much, students have too little school time, and teachers and parents give the students too much confidence.

to hop onto the bandwagon to become a “culture of the cool.” He wants to see aspiration, controversy, and inspiration, but the most he can get out of his classroom sessions are slumped over students with, at the most, a slight bit of interest with a liking for his relaxed and tolerant ways as a teacher. Edmundson also finds fault in the school systems for this as well. He observes that schools are catering to more of the students wants and extracurricular desires rather than focusing on the education

It is a tough decision, but you cannot relinquish the fact, being that to some students, a teacher might be the only other adult role model in their lives.
