busy as a B

i've noticed in a lot of my classes that i ahve been taking this smester have shopuld ways to teache strudents. lesson plans, etc. some i think are good but teh majority of them i feel to be busy work. some of this things are making stduents do all this elaborate work to learn a vocabulary word or something. sometimes i feel that there is too much busy work in school. i feel that i coul dbe teacher college classes if i was told lets have the students learn a new cool way to learn one word and take two weeks to cover this really cool way to learn. learning is fun kids. blah blah.

it seems that there are a lot of buzz words to make it sound like what the stduents are doing is cool, fun, their learning, etc. but take the buzz word aside and they are just doing busy work. i think there are better ways for students to learn than busy work. busy work makes kids frustrated, give up in school and a lot of is NOT fun....

double trouble

i feel that some students are unfairly treated by teachers for really no reason. my biggest problem is when teachers mis treat students with special needs. physical or cognitive it seems that those students get pciked on by teachers and are treated like animals. when i did my currins 100 class i was in an specail needs classroom and the teachers treated the students like animals. made them sit in corners, yelled atthem, told them your stupid, etc etc. on one occasion i went down with a student to the office to drop something off in the office. teh stduent i was with decided to dress up that day and had a tie and button down on with nice pants. the secratary said, "all dressed up but no where to go." i was thinking how could this lady say this. just because he has specail needs he cant dress up. the sowrst part about this though is that some students with special needs dont even realize they are being made fun of, or living by different rules.... but i guess its not totally th eteachers fault they treat their students like animals... becasue when you hire monkeys as teachers what do you expect.....
