ch 4 notes

As a student you encounter different problems or difficulties which can help to go the wrong way.  As a teacher, you will see the student that seems does not need anything to the student that needs everything.  The parents might work full time and unintentianally do not pay attention to their children like they are suppose to.  A teacher should try to understand the different situations and have conferences with the parents.  Children parents who do not have money might miss class and have academic problems.  Any kind of abuse should be reported.  Schools should have a safe environment for their student

ch 4 journal reflections

Drop out is a big problem when it comes to a community that is low in resources.  Many do not see the way out therefore they decide to believe that there is no way out.  As a result, they do what their friends are doing which can be drugs or alcohol and girls decide to get pregnant at a young age and live of her husband check with a minimun wage salary.  I would suggest that teachers in these communities should try to motive their students to keep studying by showing them what is out there for them if get a college degree.  Invite speakers and give a speech about how many doors can open if you have a college degree.  We cannot let the children to find the easy way out.   Teacher can ask for fundings and help their student identify what they want to major in and what college they want to attend.  After gathering this information, teachers can help the students find information about what they need in order to study and attend where they want.  This will give them a head start in their journay.
