chapter 5

The begining of this chapter makes several valid points. The first being that kids have rights. At the begining of the semester when I was observing, I heard a student say, "You can't talk to me like that.I have rights." The second point I think that speaks to why some kids are a challenge, is the home environment.We had a 1st grader come to school this week with a shirt that said," I'm a virgin and you are not getting any." What kind of of home environment does this child have? The last point that caught my attention was Mr. Fowler. He reminds me of the math teacher I'm working with. She is very much like a drill sergent. As soon as she leaves the room her students' lose their halos over their heads.
