I feel that these figures help represent the population of the district and their lives. The meaning of the data to the teacher in the classroom has more to do with how they interact with their students or how their students are in the classroom. Their outside lives affect how to do in the classroom and with this knowledge, the teacher can sympathize and understand their students.

As elementary school progressed, school got more difficult because we were no longer focusing on playing games and going out to recess, but rather learning to do math, write, read, and learn appropriate social behavior. Throughout elementary school me and my classmates learned at the same pace with only one teacher that taught all the core subjects to us. There was nothing individualized about a student 's education and at that age, I was fine with it.

Board of Ed, please understand, Staples High School must implement a policy to get rid of homework. Homework is emotionally and mentally draining kids due to sleep deprivation. According to a collective of doctors at the University of Pennsylvania, teens need 9.25 hours of sleep per night, however “only "15% of adolescents get 8.5 or more (Moore, Melissa 115)."

In the middle of teaching the lecture, Mrs. Rudolph got everyone up and had the students show with their hands horizontal and which direction it goes in. Another example of how she has hands on style of teaching I saw during her vocabulary lesson. After explaining to the students what each word meant, she pulled out a huge piece of paper that she had written fun and exciting sentences on that had missing words in them. The students had to decide which word went into each sentence and tape the word into the space they thought was

For students, the school day started at around seven o’clock in the morning, and consisted of several short breaks during the day. They would be served breakfast at nine o’clock, and then dinner from two to five o’clock in the afternoon. While the boys were at school learning more advanced subjects, girls stayed at home with their mothers in order to learn about the duties of a plantation mistress. Many of their lessons included learning proper social etiquette, French, needlework, weaving, and cooking. Eventually girls were taught to read and write, but it was only enough so that they could understand the Bible and write short letters to other plantation mistresses (“The History of Education”, n.d.).

This language is called teacher talk. Teacher talk is the exact words that teachers say to their students (Dickson, 2005; Crawford, 1999). In the other word, it is the content of lesson each teacher taught during each period of the class. Although teachers use same textbook as their teaching materials, each teacher has his/her own methods and words for their teaching process. "Teacher talk is used in class when teachers are conducting instructions, cultivating their intellectual ability and managing classroom activities" (Qican, 1999, p.23).
