Some critics have slammed Poizner for not portraying every student as eager and academically prepared. On the contrary, I find that this candidness is a strength of the book:
One personal insight that Poizner comes to is how difficult it can be to boost student achievement. He arrives at Mount Pleasant High School somewhat romantic about what one teacher can accomplish for children who have been in weak schools for years.
He never lets go of the goal of bringing out his students' full potential, but comes to recognize that many of them are missing the academic "background knowledge" and scholastic aspirations that many students have in upper-middle-class schools. He courageously faces these politically incorrect facts and the extra work they necessitate, without ever giving up in the least on his students.
Some of the critics have focussed on whether San Jose's Mount Pleasant High School was rough or whether the surrounding neighborhood was rough:
Even though this school and surrounding neighborhood seemed rather rough and dangerous to Poizner,...in fact, the neighborhood is average for San Jose and that, while there are third-generation gangs in the neighborhood and "gang-intervention specialists" at Mount Pleasant High School, the number of fights among students is not dramatically high.
While making points such as these, radio journalist Ira Glass, a major critic of Poizner's book, acknowledges that "some things about the school could clearly be better," when it comes to academics. Glass notes: "The school doesn't hit its goals in statewide testing." It is in the bottom 40 percent of California schools.
The book is primarily about Poizner's personal experience as a teacher, but it contains policy suggestions as well:
Poizner finds the public schools a bureaucratic morass, with too many details dictated from the state Capitol. This red tape constrains principals and teachers, the educators who could be making teaching and learning happen.
Poizner's solution is to empower educators by cutting Education Code red tape and reforming school finance so that decisions about money are made close to the classroom. At the same time, he wants incentives that will encourage educators to put student learning first....
He likes charter schools because they by definition aren't tied down by red tape and can provide competitive pressure and examples to learn from for regular schools. He wants to have teachers treated "like professionals." He wants to give "great teachers great pay" and hold all teachers "accountable for their work." Poizner is not afraid to say that ineffective teachers "should be dismissed."
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWe recently created (with the help of Google) a translator tool that is very easy to use and I think it might be a great tool for your website.
Would you be interested in putting our tool on your site?
You can look at it here: www.imaginelearning.com/widgets (bottom right hand widget) Please let me know either way.
If you are not interested, we have lots of resources and games that we could make available to you if you are willing to link to them.
We also have a full creative staff that can pretty much create any content you would like. We can create unique content for your site alone that would be useful to your visitors.
Please let me know if you would be interested in partnering in this way.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteI bet his fellow teachers ahted him for being well off.
ReplyDeleteIt's really impressive and deserve to be highly appreciated...
ReplyDeleteIn almost 40 years of teaching the seriously at-risk students in 9 states, I can say that all students want to learn. The obstacles to their learning have been related to what and how they've been required to do when they were not developmentally ready. Unfortunately, teachers know their students aren't ready, but they are required to teach the standards anyway and not go back to where the child is developmentally and teach the missing skills.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this post, it was very interesting information for reading!

Nice work, the book written by poisoner was so true, in many schools i have seen this that bureaucratic environment is placed in schools, there are so many incentive teachers those only know how to take student under their feet, that so ridiculous. thanks for posting such a nice article, hope many weird teachers change their mind set after reading this.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough job, sometimes, inspiring kids to want to learn above and beyond what is accepted as "cool" among their peers. No one wants to be isolated.
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed with average guy,that no one want to be isolated but our system compel us to live isolated there are so many weird things by which students cant concentrate on their studies and always getting scared by their teachers in asking a question.Teachers are not appointed but animals are appointed they just know how to beat.Sorry for all this but thats true.
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice when you read some thing that is not only informative but entertaining.

ReplyDeleteBrainy Academy Tutoring and Enrichment Center offers a few options for parents who want their children to participate in a fun educational activity.
ReplyDeleteWe have a unique program, called Brainy Builders, which is a Science with Legos class. We teach children simple physics using Legos and other building materials. Children create objects like levers, pulleys, and windmills, and with the teacher, explore how these work. We teach children practical applications for these. Children also create and participate in experiments using the scientific method.
We also have Montessori classes for children ages 3-6. The Montessori method allows children to learn at their own pace, using bright and beautiful educational objects. Children develop logic, reasoning, math, and reading skills. Studies show that children who have been in Montessori classes do better in school than their peers who did not have such preparation.
