Hey Jenny, I really liked the layout and information in your page. I am also from small town and I totally agree about the nationwide curriculum. I know we have to prepare the students for the "real world", but the majority of the students we teach will never leave these small towns. So I guess it's our job to bring the world to them! Good luck, I'm sure you will be a great teacher! Ckest001 (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

You know, I never thought about the small town diverstiy issue like that. We alwasy think about diversity in the big cities, where we HAVE to have tolerance and understanding for the real world, yet, the small cities get voerlooked SO often by big city dwellers. I agree, we gotta bring some diversity into this area, but preparing them for a more real version fo thier life. Some may want to leave, but can't, and then some may wanna stay. Then some may not know yet, and need some help deciding. Thats where a good teacher comes into it, teaching the unknown to students who otherwise wouldn't hear these things. Thats the fun part of teaching, getting the students at a place where they totally depend on you for the information, but are independent in thier curiousity!
