School Environment

What are the characteristics of a positive school environment and what impact does it have on the development of middle school children? How can poverty, culture, and education alter the outcome of children?
Im actually just looking for opinions, I already know the obvious answers and have already done my research. Thanks!
Dont you just love bigshots? Geesh!

Jenny,
These questions cannot be answered here. You need to do your own research, and write your own paper/thesis. In the process, you will find the people, educators that have gone before you.

School Environment Improvement Programs implemented in the rural Regions of Nepal through ECCA-Nepal

Hi! I am doing an assignment on home education and would love to hear about your transition from the home schooling environment to a high school environment. In particular, how did your new teachers help you to feel welcome? Thanks!

I can only speak of my daughter's experience going into 9th grade after home schooling her entire life.

How did the teachers make her feel welcome? Well, in most cases they didn't know she had been previously home schooled her entire life. That is because she had been well-educated at home and was not behind in any subject.
In one case, the teacher would go out of his way to make snide comments on how she didn't know how to do things since she had been home schooled. Like when assigned to hang drama posters, "I guess you know how to hang a poster, since your home school put on so many dramas! Ha Ha Ha." He meant it as a joke, but after a while it got a little old. In fact, she had already starred in 4-H productions, as well as parts in adult community theater. Plus the home school group put on plays at a school campus. Some of the other drama students picked up on his "humor" too. Trying to convince her she didn't know how the "real world worked." Calling her "stupid home schooler." The teacher thought they were hilarious. No, he was not much of a teacher.

She stayed in that school from 9th to half way through 10th. It was a waste of her day. Too much time wasted. Needless assignments and homework. After home schooling from age 4 on, the cookie cutter methods of the classroom just didn't work for her. She wanted to learn more, in a shorter time period. Without cliques, and teen drama. Unfortunately some of those same drama kids are now at the community college she goes to. Oh well... she learned to deal with them before. (She is 2 years younger than they, but in the same class at school. So, who says home schoolers are stupid now? The joke's on them!)

As a freelance teacher working within a number of schools,
it appears to me, that to most students, school is a form of organised punishment.
That they might learn anything within these walls is a rediculous concept.
To them, their main pleasure in life is to avoid work as much as possible.
Is that the system, the student, the curricula, or the pretext of eductation being conducted within such a false environment?
How could it be improved.

Many students are interested in learning./

Improvements can be made by better and more student motivated teaching and improved curriculum.

Raise your aspirations and expectations for students and they will learn more and better.

Price: $34.95

I'm working on a list for work about the savings to the business/school and to the environment. The question is what and how much is saved when you duplex print instead of simplex print. Obviously, paper, trees and money are saved, but how much? Numbers really make people stop and think. Thank you!

well considering it is about printing on both sides instead of one, I would think this technique would cut your paper use in half and thus your paper cost as well.
