An attempt to add Digital Media Literacy to a traditional Language Arts curriculum, welcome students to the New Alexandrian Era & the ePub Generation, facilitate 21st Century skills & Conceptual Age Aptitude acquisition...and a throw in a hefty dose of EduHeresy as well!

Longer lunches. E. Jones
ReplyDeleteLonger activity or less homework because every night since school started I have had at lest 2 hours of homework. I have ether stayed up really late or have not completed my homework. Tomorrow I have a test and I have just finished my homework after 3 hours and have not studied!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think back on my middle (junior) high school experience I remember what geeky time that was for all of us. I think all of you kids are lucky that you go to a really great school where you are surrounded by so many gifted, talented, fun and caring human beings. If I could change one thing for you kids it would be to get rid of all the TEKS testing amd testing and testing you have to go through. Otherwise enjoy yourselves and hang on because IT IS AN AWESOME RIDE! Lisa Davidson
ReplyDeleteI would put less pressure on the whole TAKS testing too. When I went to school many years ago we didn't have testing like this. They already teach the students things before we started learning them but I think sometimes there's too much emphasis on the TAKS. On another note- the staff at SFMS are a wonderful group of people and work beyond what most teachers do!
ReplyDeleteless homework. I have already stayed up to 11 doing homework for everything,not including studying.

Less Homework? Wait until next year! Then wait until you get out of school - yes college is a homework nightmare also - but when I get home I usually have a mound of things to do. Weekends - I usually do 5 - 6 hours of work - either catching up or moving forward, but work nonetheless. Doctor's, lawyers, accountants, engineers, salesfolk - all have homework. How about moms & dads? It NEVER ends!!
ReplyDeleteThe TAKS test is just a reflection of what John & Jane Q Public say they want - accountability! As a public employee, I have no problem with holding myself out for scrutiny - it's good for me and the profession. Now if you want to tie my pay to the results of 1 test that I can only really prepare students for - I can't actually make them try or do their best - then we have a debate....
that question is to hard... T_T

ReplyDeleteI think we need monday off. Its hard to squeeze everything that isnt school related into saturaday and sunday, we dont even really get weekdays with all the homework. Shorter weeks would be less overwhelming for people, and it might even make them better students.
