Nice job this morning group #1. All of your classmates appreciated your efforts and enjoyed your game. I think you did a good job. Some of the responses were questionable depending on where you got your information. If much of your urban financial, etc. info was based on Toledo Public Schools that would explain some f the discrepancies since TPS is in major financial difficulty.
Anyhow...you got us all thinking and engaged....thank you!!
Just a couple responses.
1) I'm thinking every college student should know that a research paper is 'research' and not an opinion piece. I'm not going to feel guilty about requiring a 'research' paper to be just that.
2) Someone wished more of the answers could have been explained. They could have been if you'd have asked for them to be explained. I don't know you have a question if you don't ask it. Mind reader ... I am not....(which is probably a good thing as a teacher because you may not like what they're thinking.) :)
3) Your time frame for your presentations is specifically stated on your rubric is exactly 30 minutes. It is imperative for teachers to meet time frames, and it's never too early to practice.
Therefore, if a group has to hurry - they need to pay better attention to the time while the project is going on so they keep things moving or adjust as needed to fit the allotted time.
4) Here's a question from one of your peers for you to ponder and answer: "Why is it hard to find teachers for rural schools?" What do you guys think???? Or IS it hard???
Have a great weekend and week.

In response to the question about the difficulty of finding rural teachers, I think there are a few contributing factors to this. First off, rural teachers don't get paid as much as inner city and suburban teachers. Secondly, rural schools have a hard time with passing levies and therefore they have to deal with pay cuts and losing teacher positions. For me personally, I wouldn't want to teach at a school where I felt my job wasn't as secure as it could be.
