Journal Review

            
            
             The reason I chose the article was because I ask myself these two questions on a weekly basis. I thought it would be interesting to find out where I fit in the national average. I found that I am the exception in many ways, but my belief is the same as the majority. I teach to make a difference. .
             This article gave statistics, such as 27 percent of teachers report having 25 or more students in their classes. They talked about how at this rate the students become just nameless faces. I have been in a classroom with 29 students and I agree that it can be challenging to give the students one on one time. I now teach 25 students and find it much easier to work with them and help each individual with his or her strengths. I hope I never get to the point where I regard my students as nameless faces, but I can see how having so many students could be a problem. .
             Another statistic was than on average teachers spend 50 hours a week on teaching duties. I agree with this, but I spend more than 70 hours per week so I am not the average teacher. I don't feel like this time is a burden. I feel that the more time I spend working to better myself and researching for lessons, the better prepared my students will be.
             The article said that only three percent of the teachers interviewed were first or second year teachers. I wondered if this was because of the group that they interviewed as a whole or whether this had anything to do with the fact that 50 percent of teachers leave within the first five years. The article did not explain any possible reasons why the number was so low. Again, I was in the minority because it is my second year teaching.
             They did talk about factors that contribute to teachers leaving the profession. Low salaries was the biggest factor, along with standardized tests and heavy paperwork. I understand how standardized testing can drive teachers away from teaching because I taught last year in a school that was test driven.
