@Kneilca: What do you guys in your schools about this? I know that here in Calif, that is a problem. |

In Manitoba, we believe in success for all learners. We have lots of educational assistants in classrooms to help teachers work with the weakest students as well as those whose first language is not English (or in some cases, French). This provides some unburdening of the teacher's load for the most challenged students, but there is always that group of average-ish students and the very bright, who seem to get less attention. Peer tutoring programs are very popular in most schools. Students who are successful in a subject, tutor fellow students at lunch, before or after school, with teacher supervision. It's a win-win. Competent students deepen their understanding by explaining and guiding their peers and weaker students get the extra help they need. There is an axiom in teaching: "You never really understand something till you've taught it to someone else." I'd have to say that as a teacher, this has been very true for me personally and I have seen it in action in my students. Knowing how to get the answer is one thing, but having to explain HOW you got it so that almost anyone can understand it, too, is quite another. |

Feminism I should wait until SS is able to respond before commenting on his posts, but I did not place him in his present position. So feminism has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with female oppression of men. I never met any like that. I am a feminist. Why shouldn't women be allowed to take auto shop or have their sports funded at the same level as the boys. |

About Trump But the way it is now, even a lot of republicans that hold very important places in that administration are questioning his sanity, and judgement. The last thing I read, was that he knew nothing about the budget and the only thing he was planning to is spend taxpayers money on the fence. Also, he is trying to crucify Sessions, because he did not participate in an investigation. The reason Sessions did not, was to protect Trump, just like he would not answer any questions about what he and Trump talked about, while he was under oath, because he knew that if he would say what he and Trump talked about, it would be damaging to Trump. Now Trump wants him fired, something he can do himself, but he will not do that because he knows he will get in trouble with the rest of those republicans who say that Sessions is a "good" person. He wants someone else to fire him, because he is still with the mindset of being the one who dictates, and gets others to follow his wishes, without involving him in some way. |
