ALL Children Get Ahead, when the classroom is a positive, socially just community.
ALL Children Get Ahead, when all their needs are considered and their beings are valued.
ALL Children Get Ahead, when they are allowed to be who they are and discover what they want to become.
ALL Children Get Ahead, when they are challenged and engaged, while being nurtured and encouraged.Greg Moulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335173217787685347noreply@blogger.comBlogger21125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444936080686799659.post-30458897266093442013-05-16T00:02:00.000-07:002013-05-17T21:09:37.992-07:00Hot Links - Delicious websites to feed hungry young minds.<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: 85%;">The left margin of this blog is entitled "<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Internet Integration in the Classroom</b></i></span>" and it is composed of a number of great educational websites. The problem is there are so many links, the type face is small and its not easy to understand how the entries have been organized. </span><span style="font-size: 85%;">To help you find what you are looking for, I am going to list the <b><span style="color: #993399;">very best of my suggestions </span></b>here, with a brief description of what you and your child will find at the websites. By the way, you might find some sites require you to update your Flash or Shockwave software, its free, safe and worth doing. Once installed the updates enhances how the activities perform and your child's enjoyment of them. <span style="font-size: 100%;">One final thought, the younger the student the more assistance you will need to provide.</span> </span></div>

The content areas are aligned with standards for the different grade levels allowing you focus on specific skills to practice or investigate. By the way parents, if you feel you want to brush up on your <a href="http://www.internet4classrooms.com/on-line.htm">computer skills </a>you might want to have a look at the on-line tutorials.</span></div>

After sometime to digest it, it still tastes bad. I don't trust the theory that students will receive budgeting inaccordance with their needs and that money is the solution to the problem. I agree that forced integration left much to be desired and that the seperation of the races has improved little since Brown.

I don't teach English, I teach school -- and I win awards doing it.<br /><strong>He was named New York City Teacher of the year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991 </strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Teaching means different things in different places, but seven lessons are universally taught from Harlem to Hollywood Hills. They constitute a national curriculum you pay for in more ways than you can imagine, so you might as well know what it is. You are at liberty, of course, to regard these lessons any way you like, but believe me when I say I intend no irony in this presentation. These are the things I teach, these are the things you pay me to teach. Make of them what you will.<br /><br />"Look...at the seven lessons of school teaching --<br /><strong>1. CONFUSION<br />2. CLASS POSITION </strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>3. INDIFFERENCE<br />4. EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY<br />5. INTELLECTUAL DEPENDENCY<br />6. PROVISIONAL SELF-ESTEEM<br />7. ONE CAN'T HIDE</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">all of these lessons are prime training for permanent underclasses, people deprived forever of finding the center of their own special genius. And over this time the training has shaken loose from its own original logic: to regulate the poor. For since the 1920s, the growth of the school bureaucracy and the less visible growth of a horde of industries that profit from schooling exactly as it is, have enlarged this institution's original grasp to the point that it now seizes the sons and daughters of the middle class as well.
