My question today would be directed to
the policy makers of the U. S. A. Education Department. Have you
started a Praising chart (Johnson & Johnson, 1986). This is
important because the better you feel about yourself, the more you
learn (Johnson & Johnson, 1986). The best way to improve comes
from within ourselves.
The funding of education by the federal
government is associated with the NEA's labeling of anyone who fails
as an U. S. House of Representative candidate. In 1982, these NEA
positions included such issues as decriminalization of marijuana,
pro-abortion, opposition to U. S. involvement in Central America,
support of a complete and immediate halt in the nuclear arms race
(Save Our Schools, 1988). This continues to happen today because
they are the Political Action Committee (NEA-PAC) which made a
Republican defeat list by means of money donations.
In my opinion, communication is the key
tool to use when change is needed in the area of education. My world
would be a positive image, safe environment, and everyone would
receive the same information at the same time. Many times our
teachers start their week off with a five-day-lesson-plan. Could an
emergency cause a change in their plans? Yes, they would have the
emergency as the primary problem that needed immediate attention.
This is why drills are necessary to know what to do during a fire,
where is your meeting place, and keeping great attendance records.
The adults are accountable for the children's safety. Everyone would
be achieving their best with integration of newly graduated
management majors and drills that save lives by becoming second
nature.
Our children and teachers need the
freedom to make educational choices that create brilliant students
and no follow a cookie-cutter program.

O love your Closing Statement, the problem with cookie cutters is that we all don't fit in the same mold.
ReplyDeleteWe create this imaginary line that we believe we should all stand in, but many of us do not fit in that line, we must be allow to be ourselves and learn our own way.
Learning and teaching all have different styles, being creative should be encouraged.
