Week 12: A Week in the Life of a Part Time Teacher

1. The teacher probably "acted like an ass" because he assumed that the classroom was his and she was barging in. I believe if the teachers would get together and propose new strategies, they would be: (a) To amend new work schedules, preferably to save the teachers' jobs. Although, the chances of this actually happening would probably be slim, because of budget. (b) finding a way to possibly send the students to a new college with no extra charge to them. This would also probably be very slim, but the school could be recognized for doing this as a kind gesture. The cost, again, would definitely be the problem.
2. The problems Claitor describes affects the students, because they are all their needing to learn to be able to preform and accomplish goals within their own jobs. Also, she might not give full effort when teaching them in this sad amount of time, because she has a lot on her mind and is very stressed about the whole situation.
3. (a) The students could request that the classes be made bigger, that way even if they had to do away with some of the teachers, they could still be taught. This would only better the school's budget, but they would probably have to let go of some good, dedicated teachers. (b) They could ask to be transferred to another close college for their own sakes. Although, it would have to be at no exspense to them.
4. The cause of the problems described by Claitor is the cutting of the school's budget by the administration.
(a) The school might have a greater number of teachers then they should.
(b) Someone might argue that teachers get paid just as much or even more than some of the "harder" working jobs.
5. (a) Without teachers, the university has nothing. If there would be no good teachers, there would be no students coming to learn.
(b) Without the students coming to learn and pay their money, the university would go in the hole and have to eventually shut down.
