Budget Cuts

A controversial topic related to education is budget cuts. It is something happening all the time and either curriculum is being cut, salary is being cut, or releasing staff and/or curriculum. I feel that money should be budgeted to fit more of school needs then something not as important to school. The goverenment is trying to crack down on making education better and increasing scores, etc. but it is hard to do those things when they are not allowing us the funds to do this. We need to rely on education and not other systems that already have funding and get more funding. I think that we, as future teachers, need to find ways to help increase budgets and help keep programs going and allow us to get the things we need to be good teachers!

Why do we teach? What is the difference between school "work" and student "learning"? What makes for good teaching?We teach because we are trying to make a difference for others and teaching them for their later successions in life. The difference between school work and student learning is that school work is a refresher/review for what was learned that day to make sure the student understand what they were taught. Student learning is what they learn from the discussion, activity, group work, etc. and understanding what they are taught and also possibly why they are taught that. Good teaching is made from wanting to teach and having the heart to want to help others succeed and benefit. Also good teaching comes from how you teach your students and how they learn from you.
