Hey Megan, When I read the part about changing your major three times I thought of my own experiences. Since I started school I've changed my major 2 or 3 times as well. All I knew was I wanted to work with kids, so finally I decided teaching was the route for me. I agree that students should get more then just the SOL's. I mean when you walk into the schools you hear chatter about what is happening in real life. Why not use that as a tool to keep them involved? JLeon015 (talk) 14:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Mrica001 (talk) 16:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC) Hello, I picked you because my name is Megan so I guess we have the same name. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading your education philosophy. I loved that you mentioned the students keeping their identity because I feel if a teacher does not notice each child's personality they will not be successful in teaching that student. Also, everything else you touched on about the Sols, curriculum and individualized work. I work at a private school where every worksheet is personalized so that every child can work on learning at their pace and I have witnessed at the end of the year that they were all on the same level, but had learned at their pace and it was a great feeling. Anyways it sounds like you would be an awesome teacher and I really enjoyed your philosophy. Good luck in this class and your class in the future.
