Well, I do not know how much I can say about this school. This blog will account for the couple of times I went there. First off, rolling chairs in a computer lab is not a good idea for young children. Joseph loved rolling around everywhere. Also, having these kids sit where they wanted to was a bad idea because when they sat together they did not accomplsih anything. But overall this was probably my favorite school because the lab was much nicer and there were not as many students. I pretty much spent my time with Shelby. She seemed to have a good head on her shoulders and last Thursday she was ready to put everything in movie maker. So she was a good kid. I also thought that the teachers there helped out a little bit more than the other schools. Boys and Girls club seemed to make things a little bit more difficult at the other schools. I was glad that the teachers here did not let the students just do anything they wanted...well at least they tried. But overall I thought it was a good experience because these are students that a lot of us young future teachers will have to deal with at first being that they were a lot of trouble and that Title One schools always have openings for young teachers such as us. And one last note, I am not sure if this is appropriate to put in here but the one female teacher at Summit did not dressed appropriately. She is lucky I do not have a child in that school because i would have made a complaint. This is coming from a guy too.
See ya

Very interesting Phil. I know that many new teachers are often placed in the schools that have fewer resources. This is typically a good way to get your foot in the door. It also helps you build some great classroom management strategies. Unfortunately, this also often leads to young teacher "burn-out". I believe that 50% of first-year teachers do not make it past their first 5 years of teaching. That's shocking.
