equal

equal rights, something that has been a center point of so many debates for so long. especially equal rights in the classroom. the working class or the inner city is significantly behind in schooling then the upper class. the lower class is always behind the 8 ball. it is important that each student gets a fair share, everyone should have the right to a good education.

in the soe at uwm urban setting is the focal point of teahing. its nice to have a fist hand experince of what is really happening. reading in an articel is one thing but living it and being in teh classroom and seeing it is a lot different. the teachers i have worked with have been nothing short of idiot slave drivers. yelling at the kids and mistreating them. how can it be so hard to get a job now of days when the teachers that are being complained about in articles of our reali life situations are always there. the etachers that i have had to work with in currins 100 were ridiculious. how do these teahcers stay.i think that eachers especially in an inner city have a huge impact. if the students personal life isnt teh best they shoul dhave an outlet at school. it is important that studnets feel cared for at school.

PBL

im doing a quiz for my part of the PBL presentation. im going to have a quiz that is set up for an 8th grader. i think it is going to be a like jay walking from jay leno. the questions that i will be asking are rooted from standrds from from the state of wisconsin that the state wants to teachers to have there students know by teh end of teh eyar. looking at the standards it looks very hard to know everything they want. my qesution foucses on teh scope and sequence of making a good lesson plan. the good thing about teh standards is that it gives you some kind of guideline to work from. the only problem is taht there is so much and a lot seems to go into very specific detail. i thinks its up to teh teacher to decide whats improtant and what can be left out. when i was going through some of the standards i had a very difficult time knowing teh answers to a lot of questions that are expected to have answers to from 8th grade studenst according to the wisconsin stantards...

middle/junior high

i remember this time in my life... this is when i was waaaaaaay too cool for school... or at least i thought. but i was way off. its funny, they power students thi sage think they get once the hit junior high. parenst rules are way to strick and why cant you just hang with your friends all day.?. . ?

thats how its was whne your that age. all you want to do is be cool. school at times becomes secondary. although its a huge part in a childs life for development, being cool takes first. junior high brings about alot of changes for kids. they start seeing things differently. but i dont want to forget about how imporatnt school is. this is really a time where the studnets really start to make connections in school, start to critically think about the subjects they are taking in school.

middle/junior high is a time to find yourself. not only in the classroom but as a person. it is a great stepping stone into highschool and beyond.... even though your too cool for school.
