Chapter 3 Overview

Chapter 3 talked about how over the past few years education has come a long ways. It mentioned how we now have better resources for children of all ages and needs, which they can now afford because budgets have increased overtime. with these new budgets came new criteria for both children and teachers. this was done by involving the government more into our school systems. Diversity also became very big, they also needed to provide special classes for those students by hiring bilingual teachers and staff. they growing rate of kids in school districts these days is outstanding! Theres so many children, this also means more kids in one class room or less one on one time with teachers. Classrooms sizes have grown from 20 to 40. It also touched base on how educators have come such a far way. We started as young and eager people wanting to learn and further our education. which we did because now you need alot more classifications, testing, schooling and certifications. Everyday comes new challenges and changes in education, its an evergrowing, never ending process. To be honest after reading this chapter and seeing all the changes it kinda seems a little scary to put yourself out there and becomming a teacher. Who knows what their going to come up with in a few years, we could be in the midst of change while in the middle of our career. What happens if the way we were taught and teach becomes outdated? will we be replaced? will we ever see retirement? Its scary to think about...
