I believe

I believe that the physical education curriculum is now where close to where it needs to be and this is why most of America is obese. The first class that students are taken out of for any reason in school is phys ed. I would think that the health and well being of the students should be the most important. I also believe that Caltholic and Private schools should be held to the same standards as public school and from working at a private high school for two years and now working at a private k-8 school, the education level is very different. I had one student who was in the first grade enter my computer class, and as I was working with her I discovered that she didnt know her letters very well. I asked her to write her ABC's and she couldn't, and when I asked her to recite her ABC's she couldn't do that either. I sopke to her teacher after class and she said to me that the parents don't care. Well, I believe that these are the students we need to pay the most attention to. Just because this child has parents who don't care, doesn't mean she isn't entitled to a decent education and that us, as a faculty shouldn't provide it. I shouldn't be taking time away from my class to teach a 1st grader her ABC's.
