New Teacher Panel

I really enjoyed meeting the new teacher panel. They gave me a new perspective on teaching and the positives and negatives of it.
I learned that teachers really need to get involved with the parents. If the parents are not involved with their children, the children will be less social and not as developed as the other children.
I also learned a lot about the differences between grades. The younger the children are the more respectful they are most of the time. Once teachers get to high school the children are trying to find theirselves and they won't listen to very many teachers. They are looking towards trying to be popular and being a rebel. They start to have clicks with their other peers and will not join other groups.
There are differences between Catholic schools and public schools. Catholic schools are much different than public schools. There are many regulations to what Catholic teachers can and cannot teach. They have to set their curriculum to what Catholics need and want. Also Jess mentioned when she went to North Winn that the students always said thank you and please and now she teaches at the Catholic school and at the beginning the students were very disrespectful. She has become aware of this and helped them to become more polite.
The last thing I learned was that there are many more things that teachers have to do to become a teacher. You cannot just walk into a classroom and except everything to be set up for you. You have to make a schedule and plan each day out. These teachers were suprised about what all they had to do once they became teachers. I feel like they really like their jobs though. Even though the day gets long I feel that they give a good attitude every day!
