Post 9B
I feel like there should be a test that decides whether the student needs to use the Child Left Behind Plan and that it should be separate then the every day lesson in class. I understand they want to get the students to learn but I feel like there is a certain extent where there is nothing more that they can do. In the high school years there is even less of an impact on school programs like this because some high school students don't care and have stopped trying. If there was a way to decide the students that need it the most and give them the extra help I think that it would be a good compromise.

That is actually a really good idea. I believe some students just do not want to do it and we should probably think of something to get then excited about learning again. I think we need to give students extra help while they are young. This way when they do get to high school they feel like they can do it and may not give up as easily.
ReplyDeleteI think smaller class sizes would have a huge impact on student achievment. My daughter is 9 years old and has 25 kids in her 4th grade class. Her school day is 7 hours and after you take out lunch, specials, bathroom breaks, recess, ect. she is in her actual class for 5 hours per day. Their is one teacher that has to be shared by 25 kids. Based on all of this information my daughter's teacher has 12 min a day per child. These kids would ALL be more sucessful with more 1 on 1 time and that can be acheived through smaller class sizes.
ReplyDeleteI agree that some students just do not want to learn. It is easy to get bored in school, espeically in high school when it seems like most the teachers just teach by lecture. Every student learns differently, incorporating hands on activities may help those students who need a little more attention.
ReplyDeletei agree, because i believe that new younger teachers that get hired at these high schools are too easy and dont want the students to hate them so they become push overs. i have seen this at my old high school, the newer younger teachers are easy while the older teachers are more strict and harder to pass.
