Education Animation!!!

LEARN: I have learned that there are many issues with the educational system in Modesto. The approach I chose to take on how to "fight crime" that is going on in schools is not to focus on the lack of money and funding, but to take what we do have and make the most out of it. What we do have are environments that are not adequate for positive learning environments. Children need to feel safe and not be worried about fitting in, being bullied, or being excepted in a learning environment.

ACT: I purpose that schools give a lot of focus to making the learning environment safe and productive. Budget cuts have caused the number of teachers to decrease which means less one on one time with the students so with time being limited I think that quality beats quantity. The quality of the school environment is corrupted when "bullies" make children fear coming to school and make then unable to focus while at school. I think that this problem is solved by getting the parents involved with speaking to their children about appropriate classroom behavior and having a "No Tolerance" policy when it comes to bullying. Harsh punishments resulting in privileges being taken away to enforce these rules. Children need to understand acceptance and that school needs to be full of positive reinforcement with revoked privileges if you put another students educational opportunities in jeopardy.

IMAGINE: With these actions in place I believe that one day schools everywhere will be positive and fun environments for kids to gets an education but also to make them better, more accepting and understanding people. Education is so important and when money and the amount of teachers and materials are lacking, we must make what we have the most positive and productive as possible. One day all children across the country will wish school would never end!
