I am going to keep messing with you!

You can't stop me!!!!  You like it.  Your trash jenE! stalker!

I have to say that I honestly have an opinion for both sides. I have been teaching Child Development for the past 8 years. I find the content very interesting and the curricullum very flexible. I have a variety of components that allow me to change things up. My classroom is extremely hands on in the respects that the high schoolers are actively engaged in creating a well run preschool program. With that being said, two days a week teh students have a variety of tasks that must be completed in order to make this happen. Students are engaged in teaching, planning, observation and various other teaching responsibilities. This keeps things new and exciting and constantly moving. I have seen so many students that are unable to be successful in a "regular" classroom, shine in mine. On the flip side, I beleive many core subjects are diabled because of their innability to be able to go off course and teach the information in a more meaningful manner for fear that they may get off their pacing guide rythym. This itself is disabling to a teacher, are we there to make sure that comprehension is being met of there to ensure that we are on a certain page at a certain date regardless of comprehension. Moving forward with technology and bringing the digital age into the classroom may also hook more kids. Our students are interested in what technology offers and are often times more savvy than we as teachers are. I believe incorporating more of the digital age in every classroom will engage them further but also prepare them for their future jobs that do not even exist yet.
