to pay thousands of dollars a year for the education they want. All we need is a tad more art funding in schools so that all children can have an equal education.

However, teachers may be ignoring their unconscious gender biases towards their students, which may have developed from cultural norms. Gender bias can occur when people make assumptions regarding behaviors,…

students must listen to the directions about how to move forward with the reading class, then I would initiate the clapping pattern and would ask my students to finish it. Lastly, I would tell my students to put their hands in the air followed by their head, and to keep their hands there by the time they are looking and listening during the time I am giving directions. Having the students look and listen ensures that they are ceasing whatever they were doing and really focusing on listening to…

Praise of an Angelic Teacher; Kathy Miller chooses not to rule the world Before addressing the absolutely critical need for all students to pursue the love of Kathy Miller, it is important to realize the greatness that Mrs. Miller has achieved. In all of her years at Banjo High School she has perfected the junior SAT, and in her humbleness she would never lead you to believe that she was the cause of this massive jump in the SAT averages. She has also been a steady member of the Soccer Club for…

time you are given to do work in class. Many schools are switching to block scheduling due to higher rates of success in students, but not all have switched over.

She had freckles right under her eyes and on the middle of her nose, and extra white teeth that could brighten up anybody's day with just her smile. The first day that I saw her she was wearing a…

Freire’s idea on the Educational System The education many Americans receive today isn’t very helpful. When there is a test that needs to be studied for teachers tell the kids what they are going to need to know. Therefore, kids simply memorize the information for that one test and once it’s over the information quickly leaves the students’ heads. This is what our education has been reduced to. We no longer take the time to understand or realize what we’re reading. We just memorize the facts…

Being a Teacher My boyfriend’s mom and sister are both teachers and I always say to the both of them “how do you do it?” Never in my wildest dreams would I ever be a teacher at least that is what I thought. Then one day I decided I would sit and watch how my daughters Pre-School class worked. I figured teaching a Pre-School class would be an easy job but I was wrong. My day started at 7am and I knew right then and there today was going to be a long. As I was getting ready all I could think was…

feel a little anxious because I know I need to do the math in order to give them back the right amount of change. I rely on a calculator most of the time but I wish I could do the math in my head because it would be much easier. I rely on a calculator most of the time but I wish I could do the math in my head because it would be much easier. I would love to understand math better, especially in using critical thinking. I feel like math helps us to think in a very different way than we usually…
