Bagels, a completely unrelated subject to teachers, is another topic that Levitt and Dubner present in the text in order to show that even rich individuals who may not have to worry about the incentive of money still conduct themselves in a erroneous manner and commit “white-collar crime” (46) by not paying for bagels in the workplace.

    310 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading the interviews on Len Bickman and now David Fetterman, it seems being an evaluator is dangerous work. It is frustrating to read the obstacles educators have to navigate to see progress made in discovering new ways to teach and learn. We are trying to educate in a fast paced world where information changes so quickly, so how will schools ever be free to move with the ever changing landscape when the political dynamic creates obstacles of progress. Luckily we get to read about educators who are not afraid to step in front of the train and evaluate with integrity and demand we do what is right for our students. Fetterman explains how easy it is to be retrospectively courageous, but the hardest thing is to do the right thing at

    637 Words  | 3 Pages

    An important point I learned after reading Holler if You Can Hear Me by Gregory Michie is that teachers should care about their students because students will learn more if they know you care and then they will care to learn . Mr. Mitchie believes his students don’t care enough to learn about sexism, but the truth was that they were tired of spending 2 weeks on the same lesson. Mr. Mitchie will then get angry at his class and tell them that if they didn’t care to learn then he wouldn’t make them. In another instant a teacher named Miss. Reilly was tired of her class not listening to her that she threatened to quit, but a student named Samuel wrote her a letter and told her not quit.

    Even after the bell rings, there is constant work happening to keep the school district running. The Council of Learning definitely hit this point home for me. In their twenty page document on student progress, they not only explained the importance of academic progress but the importance of pushing for a safer school climate for their students. Outside of the report they addressed the difficulty of excessive testing requirements and how it is putting down students. Only having had the perspective of a student, it was reassuring to see educators seeing a problem and actively seeking a way to fix the problem.

I was so amazed by the way Ron Clark and the other teachers taught at this school I wanted to teach at Ron Clark Academy. After finished reading the book I was curious as what the school really looked like, so I looked at videos on YouTube and found some great videos about Ron Clark Academy.
