Teaching - August 2006

I read in an article in my local paper that the Federal government spends $14,000 per student on education. There were no sources to confirm this other than the subjects of the article - a US Senator and a US Representative. My research through the US Dept of Ed failed to locate any exact numbers, although there are more than 500 reports available.

If these amounts are remotely accurate, that means $280,000 for a class of 20 students; $420,000 for a class of 30 !!!!!

As an educator, I am wondering . . . Who has my share?

C'mon, 'fess up !!! You know who you are !!! Fork it over !!!

Seriously, how much is spent per student? How much comes from the Feds? Where does it go?

Personally, I think the politicians pulled the numbers out of their @sses to make teachers look bad (again).

I feel that children do not get enough socializing at that age. Almost everything they do is planned/structured for them. We are not allowing them to make the mistakes as to which they will learn from. With that said, I also feel that reading is of utmost importance. If you can't do anything else academic you should at least be able to read. Elementary math is another discussion in itself.

I have 2 elementary age children. I punish one by taking his books away (really gets his attention) and the other by making him read a book.

Most teachers do not teach kids HOW to study, they just give kids terminology (as an ex) and send them home saying,"Study for Friday's test." Most kids study instinctively. Others, now adults, have had to develop compensatory skills (tricks to get the job done that work for them). I was one such student. So, to the instinctive student I ask you to reflect on HOW you "study" and to the student who developed compensations, I ask what worked for you?

Previously, the best response I got was:
Read the questions 1st! Then write down every bold print title and the italicized words and their def. for the next days lessons. Then read that portion of the text. When reading for comprehension in a library book write down the characters as they show up and tell who they are in relation to the main character. Write down places,cities,year,century,etc... When you finish reading for the time period, read over your notes and put the notes with the book or put in a certain section in your notebook
