School Board Members

This week we had two school board members come talk to our class. I really didn't enjoy this one as much as when the administrators came. I think part of it was that some of the things they said felt like they were being repeated. I do think that having these people come talk is interesting and I do really enjoy it, but maybe there should be more different questions asked rather then the same questions. I liked that these two knew what types of things were going on in the schools. Also I really liked that they could talk about how NCLB has changed the faces of schools everywhere. I also really thought that they did a good job in letting us know that NCLB isn't a bad thing all the time. Yes there are tests that the children have to take but they are still able to learn and have fun. They said something that really made me think, they talked about how we need to have year round schooling in order to compete with other countries. I thought about it and what they said really made since. Kids are loosing information over the summer that they learned the previous year, so why do we not do year round schooling. Well it would cost too much money, but in the long run it would be worth it. I really enjoyed these two speakers and felt that they really knew what they were talking about.
