There are old timer teachers and that<br />

mentality will be leaving in the next 5-10<br />

years. The new generation that has been<br />

raised with technology. I have seen it being<br />

effective with self-pacing and<br />

individualization to what student needs. The<br />

kids get into it and learn. All the testing is<br />

done through technology, pencil and bubbles<br />

will be gone soon. The test are immediately<br />

graded, and they will be evaluated quickly.<br />

How do you implement diversity in your<br />

class?<br />

You have to be sensitive to everyone’s<br />

needs and corks. It pays to be aware of<br />

culture and religion. The largest group here<br />

is Hispanic and latino. You understand the<br />

lack of motivation. They are very respectful<br />

of teachers and education but they do not see<br />

it very important. It is about a work ethic.<br />

When kids got in jr high and high school<br />

they would rather work than get an<br />

education. The girls have an expectation to<br />

help with the family and they drift away in<br />

high school. You have to be aware of those<br />

things and cannot offend people. Gender<br />

issues, you have to be sensitive to those<br />

things and celebrate the diversity. You can<br />

take a student and spotlight the student to<br />

share their differences. Make it a whole<br />

cultural thing. They have food, and teachers<br />

have to learn. Younger kids don’t worry<br />

about diversity. We have 20 languages &<br />

have to be sensitive & have a system to take<br />

care of it and it is tough. One way and one<br />

culture is not okay. There are things you can<br />

learn from other cultures. Make students<br />

know that culture is positive. I have not had<br />

too many issues about that. Children tend to<br />

get along you see more issues in high<br />

school. All the kids are pretty nice, until 4 th<br />

grade.<br />

How do you see politics affect your<br />

classroom?<br />

Schools are highly political and 99.9 ultra<br />

liberal teachers and education is a liberal<br />

type feel because it is a govt agency. We<br />

spend and do not make money. The federal<br />

govt does not give too much money. We get<br />

funding from the govt. we work for the state.<br />

The federal govt tries to influence by federal<br />

grants. The federal budget is hardly<br />

anything, it is nothing it is mostly<br />

philosophical. CA is very democratic. We<br />

provide a lot of services, breakfast in the<br />

classroom, almost every kids is given food.<br />

All the responsibility is given to teacher and<br />

lesson parents. I work where families do not<br />

have too much money. The federal program<br />

creates programs like no child left behind. It<br />

is gone. Education works in cycles, it comes<br />

and goes. We try new things and get rid of<br />

old things, and it is a cycle, when realizing it<br />

does not work. It does not progress as much<br />

as it should. Schools are political. They were<br />

created to put on political attitudes for<br />

countries. Teachers could not be so biased.<br />

We try to indoctrinate students the American<br />

way. Not a strong permanent influence from<br />

the government.<br />

The figure head we have now will not affect<br />

education. The state govt is more into the<br />

details. They will put out a philosophy and<br />

everyone hates her because she was chosen<br />

by trump and she will not affect education. I<br />

think she is pretty smart, but not a lot of<br />

influence on individuals. The only power<br />

they have is through money and they are<br />

cheap. If they did the schools would do<br />

whatever but it comes through taxes.<br />

How do you create trust with your<br />

students and parents?
