In order to fulfill my commitment of writing regularly, I post here a particular article of perhaps insignificant relevance to the blog. However, it is for the sake of writing that I am doing this - typing on my phone on the blogger app bundled under heavy comforters at 3:30 am.
In a few hours I will hopefully be on time for my scheduled school observations. Details of the observation will follow in a more organized and thought out article. What concerns me is this...are our schools optimizing time for our student's learning? I would always wonder why the school district set high school start time at 7am, knowing full well that most adults are not functional by then. Is it to deter the 8am traffic from being overcrowded with school buses? Is it to instill an early- to-bed-early-to-rise habit that is clearly not working?
Fortunately I am not observing a high school. I will be observing Ms Jackson's 8th grade English class at 8:30am tomo....errr...in a few hours. Thank you to the placement person who made sure I got someone who has first period prep...maybe I can sleep in.
I am excited for this semester and will eagerly report my observations and any insight I find useful for a potential educator. Please look out for me and my future posts.
