Teachers-Training And Children!


Being a teacher in the USA:

It is not easy being a teacher in the USA. Some children here seem to
have little or no regard for whoever stands at that Chalk Board. Much
less listen to or obey some of their instructions.

And some children (especially young boys), who are taller and bigger
than their class teacher, feels that he can do anything, and his
teacher dare not challenge him, and disregard some of their
instructions.

College Aspirations:

How many Secondary School graduates can afford to attend a four or two
year college in the USA today?

I guess no many, for the following reasons.

* If you are from a lower income or working class background,
especially a Single Parent who provides for your needs.

Chances are, even with scholarships, you may never be able to attend
college full time for four years straight.

* The Semester fees are enormous, the cost for text books are always
raising, especially at the end of every Semester.

* Computers, travel, snacks, and other personal essentials add up on a
daily basis.

* Most colleges want their tuition fees up front, especially if you
are a freshman or woman.

So it does not matter how brilliant a child is after High School. He/
she must be able to provide tuition fees, or get loans in order to
attend any two or four year college.

And when he/she graduates, is left with several thousands of dollars
in (student loans with interest), to pay for decades after graduating
from college.
