Reflection 7

This week we went to our last school observation. I reflected on my experiences in the last month in the different schools I was able to visit. I did learn a lot from them, but at the same time I feel like I didn't. Most teachers didn't have a whole lot of teaching time. It made me wonder if the students are mostly doing busy work instead of really learning. At the end of class I heard some students complaining about the work that they had to do. I was thinking of how I would go about with a class I had to teach. I don't really like the fact that kids are required to take specific classes. I do understand that it broadens their areas of knowledge, and they get to learn different things, but I feel that there should be more flexibility in doing so. I don't really know how Utah schools work, but I think I would like to teach in a different state. There are so many things that I'm realizing now. The way schools are run is so different everywhere. You think, it would be consistent throughout every state.
