Reaction to 1st class and reading

By the first class I can really feel that this class will be very informative for me. Since I plan on becoming a teacher, this class will give me a lot of information on how to deal with different situations with students who are mentally challenged or come from a poor neighborhood and teach them the same way. You really seem to want to teach us, so when we do get a job we will know how to handle these different situations. You as a person seem really down to earth and if I need to come to you and be able to talk to you about whatever it is I need to talk to you about.

For the reading, I found that most of the information is very interesting. For example, that 1/3 of the public schools are from low-income families. Another interesting thing it said in the reading was that more than 90% of funding for public education comes from state and local sources. Another thing that i found interesting is that low income students are being taught by teachers teaching "out of field." I don't like that because the students who are in that low-income family usually go to school in a bad neighborhood. I think these kids need teachers who will stay after class and teach them things that need them. And they need teachers who have a specific certification or have a college degree for a subject. But overall the article is very interesting and some things in there i disagree with and find very interesting
