American Teacher

My first impression in the movie American Teacher had me amazed. The nice things some teachers do for us students.
It made me think about how much they actually do care, our fellow students should be so proud of our students and the things they do for us.
The biggest frustration the teachers had with the teaching was they had to pay a lot of things out of pocket so, they had no money.
I could probably list a few teaching conditions that could improve without an increase in money..

  • Make students buy their own school supplies.
  • Fundraisers are good help.
  • Make school spirit shirts.
  • Eat more healthy

If I could change education, I would...

                                    






If I could change education, i would buy apple lab tops for each student. The students would be more interested and engaged into their studies.  
I'd make apps on the lab tops and at the beginning of the week put a lesson plan on it and make it due by the end of the week.
This would make it much easier for the students, so they could have all week to finish their assignments and email the assignments to their teacher. 
This would also help out the economy by saving trees.

Why Do Students Procrastinate?



In the article Overcoming Procrastination the students procrastinate because maybe some students have a hard time concentrating, daydreaming, getting frustrated by lack of understanding.

I know this student at my site school and this young lady is not exactly with the class, she's a little bit behind and she gets distracted easily.

 To solve the problem i sat her at a different table distant from the other students and i work with her and show her different ways she could understand more and doesn't get as frustrated.
