wallet work

I made a drawing of my original wallet and went over it with my partner. it changed the way i thought of how to make the wallet. after talking with my partner I created a drawing of my wallet now with zippers. I reviewed others wallets and gathered ideas for a prototype. with the ideas I built a prototype with a clip zipper and id pocket.
we reviewed our wallets as a class and seen what other ideas people had. people had many other ideas including box wallets and loops to hang up on.

Ryan Braun

k-5
Kindergarten to 5th grade are fine the way they are kids need the solid support and foundation for starting school. I think maybe they could change the teaching habits a little but they are fine.
6-8
Kids should start to get a visual of what they wont to do they should be mandatory classes that they have to take to get the basics they still need but they should in 6th grade take a class that should help them pick what field they want to go in then by 7th grade they should be able to pick their own class but still have so mandatory classes. That way they will have an early look on their pick of field
9-12
In 9th to 12th they should know or have a good idea in what they won’t and if not their should be a core class coarse. The core classes would be a general teaching on a wide vides of things. But the students should now be able to pick all their classes in their field. This way they get what they won’t out of it. I feel that there is not enough time to get everything in so by doing this and cutting the mandatory classed you have to take you can spread out the classes and have more time to teach all the unit so students are not rushed and are taking classes in their field.

Board of education


From my understanding the on the board is only people that don’t know school. There are no students and teachers on the board from my understanding. This means they have no idea how what they do affects kids and teachers. If students were elected to go on the board and teachers were voted as well then there would be a better understanding of what happened and how to fix things.
