Article of the Week

                This week's article is entitled,"Teacher spends two days as a student and is shocked               at what she learns." In this article, a high school learning coach spends to days shadowing  two students,  a sophomore and senior. On the first day, the teacher did the work of the sophomore and spent the day as a student. The next day, the teacher spent the day shadowing a senior. After living as a student for two days, the teacher realized that students do not have it that easy. The student also has a large workload and the students mainly sit at their desks all day. This learning coach realized that the changes that she made prior to her experience were not helpful to the student. This article is significant because every teacher and educator should take the time to go one day as a student. Many teachers don't realize how stressful high school is for students. Teachers get to see the students point of view. I believe that this will change the teachers planning for each subject. They will know what works and what does not work. If every teacher took the time to shadow a student, the learning experience for the student would change dramatically. This is my article of the week.
