1.)I think that the reason why he acted this way is because he was having the same kind of problems that Claitor was having as well.
a. I think that they should have all gotten together and made arrangements that would have worked with their schedules. Some of the students at this college had children, and have schedules outside of school. It would have been easier on them if they would have just worked with their schedules. There should have been more options for people like parents who needs the extra help.
B. I think one thing that they could have proposed were day cares for the parents of these children. There are some parents who have no families who are able to take care of their children while they are away at school. Yes, it is expensive, but in the long run isn't it better to have an education, rather than dropping out of school? It may be time consuming and expensive, but I think it would have been worth it. The chances of this happening are slim to none, but I think that it would have been a good idea. Afterall, there are many schools around Louisiana that have day cares and family housing.
2.) It affects them very much. Her students seem to really look forward to taking her classes and they seem upset whenever she tells them that she will not be teaching that class. In one of the paragraphs, it even says that she told one her students that they didn't offer her enough classes, so he wouldn't feel discouraged and not confident.
3.)a. Maybe they would suggest day care. And the chances of this happening would probably be slim to none, because of the cost that this would put in the school's budget. Many schools can't afford day care at all.
b. Another thing that they might suggest are online classes. This might be a good possibility of happening because online classes are offered at most colleges and are usually not that expensive. They are also included in most school's tuition fees.
4.) There seems to be a big money issue.
An apposing argument could be that there are ways to budget out a school.
5.) The teachers deserve to get paid more for what they do.
The students deserve to have a schedule that they are able to work with that way they can still attend school and take care of their families.
I agree with everything you said. The other teacher was probably being rude because they were going through the same thing. I never thought about having a daycare to help parents going to school, but that would be a great idea. It might cost some more money from the students whose children go, but I'm sure that the school could find someone who understood the parents struggles and would watch their children in the daycare free. I also suggested online classes.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you said that students that are parents need extra help. Also, I like the proposal for daycares, maybe they should build one near or on campus so parents/students does not have to worry too much about their child and focus more on academics. Of course, it would be expensive, but its worth it. Also, the suggestion of online classes are good too. Inexpensive and not all bad.
