41% of them are LEP, limited english proficiency. Another 5% are identified special education students. (L. Busceme, personal communication, January 20, 2015). Being in kindergarten means that many of these students have not attended school prior to this school year.

Mockingbird by Harper Lee. They are both teachers of a sort, with their own specific styles that do nothing but clash with each other. They also both have a lasting effect on the main character, Scout, and shape her views on the difference of going to school and learning. To start off, Miss Caroline has a very strict style of teaching that comes partly from the fact that she is actually a teacher. But, really it is more to do with the fact that she has just started teaching and is still trying…

from multiple venues, but the two most common types of schools for our students are private schools and public schools. They both work in different ways with a different set up. Private schools do not receive government money and have to raise their own funds. Public schools are funded by the government through the federal state and local taxes (Allegretto).

They are the producers of the genesis that make millions today. Yet, the average school teacher will only get paid $56,000 per year working with 21st century kids for around 843 hours a year. Nobody realizes the hardships a teacher will face when in the classroom until they become one themselves. Increasing the salary of a teacher will…
