Unionizing The Classroom

Improved Essays
Hello Class,

First of all, I'd like to commend you on the effort put forth in “unionizing” the classroom. If it was something for marks, you'd absolutely get full participation for your endeavours. There are, however, some glaring issues with what you are trying to accomplish.

There are in fact 50 students in the class, not 39 as you've stated.
You cannot unionize a classroom. Unionizing is a form of protection that workers can use to ensure they are treated appropriately, paid accordingly, scheduled properly, and all around ensures they get a “Fair day's wage, for a fair day's work.”

Unionizing, is intended for EMPLOYEES, to protect themselves.

Hateful, discriminatory, or triggering speech is considered a distracting and hateful obstruction of learning. However, college is also a place where the free exchange of ideas, no matter how offensive they are, are the building blocks of higher level thinking and response.

    Since I wasn't able to visit my eighth graders on our usual schedule (my teaching class had an in-class day to reconnect with each other and learn information for our teaching exam- sad face.) , I felt very happy to go visit my kids today! As I entered Ms. Fentress' room when her AI students were exiting, I realized that these kids are just like high school kids. One boy was jamming out to his music, and even rapped for his classmates.

    In the contemporary society, most governments embrace and support unionization of workers, in order to ensure the welfare of all employees is maintained, both in the private and public institutions. Most of these unions mobilize their employers in terms of better salaries, better working conditions such as environments that free from hazards, unfair firing of employees, among others. Apparently, though the presence of these unions has a number of benefits to the associated members, there are some categories of individuals who cannot be unionized or if they have to be, a lot of factors must be taken into consideration.

    In “Teacher Wars,” by Dana Goldstein, I read the first two chapters after I briefly read through each chapter to figure out what appeals to me most. I have done much research on Susan B. Anthony, therefore, I wanted to read that chapter to see if I could discover something new about her or a different perspective. Whereas, I have heard about Catharine Beecher and Horace Mann before, but only briefly. Therefore, I wanted to read that chapter to read who they were and what impact they had on education. I was not surprised that the book began with the history of teaching with females being the main correspondence.…
