But are they effective? The current state of dental health suggests that many don't floss at all. I think many view it as a pain in the ass to do daily, especially when they are in a hurry. Perhaps they should be taught to get up a little earlier. Of course this would mean going to bed a little earlier, which also would be viewed negatively. See how those dominos fall.
A dress code would solve that problem. Of course what red-blooded male teacher doesn't like to sneak peeks at blossoming young ladies who are not above showing off their 'charms'.
You mean the girl would still look like a whore in a conservative skirt and blouse?
It never has.
Its been a few decades since I was in school. What transgressions are you referring to?
If she wants to, yes.
It figures! That is why you don't appear to know much about education.
Are you and the other taxpayers willing to pay for that? No. End of discussion.It actually is more complicated.
The Myth of "Go As Fast as the Slowest Student" - Swift | Silent | Deadly
My recent article, “Lessons Learned as Professional Instructor” was a reasonably popular article However, it also drew some pretty vitriolic criticism. Today I’m going to respond to one particular criticism that popped up several times. Most of the jabs at my article don’t merit any response at...swiftsilentdeadly.com
College students pay to learn. If they can't keep up, too bad. My statement refers to grades K through 12. Actually upon reflection teaching is really too fast for many kids. The teaching model needs to include mentoring of the slow learners by those who are faster.
Educators must also deal with the baggage that many kids bring into the class with them.
WTF is character development? Sounds like a writing course for prospective authors.
Dress codes are an idiots response to the problem. I taught at an all-boys public middle school in the inner city. Students wore a shirt and tie to class, and were not allowed to wear blue jeans. The discipline problems in the situation were extreme. The dress code did not matter.
I know that people today aren't very smart.
No need. Just cut teacher's pay until they do their job.
That suggests we've reached the tipping point where kids are completely out of control. Liberal parents and teachers should rejoice.
???
How about we cut out pieces of you brain until you become smart?
I taught at 7 schools in my career. There was only one "bad" school. I survived 3 years there.
