To Canadian Teachers   Have you heard the term "reverse integration" used in a school setting (Canada)
599480
I am afraid that I have not heard the term either. However there seems to be a connection with the term reverse integration and one Canadian school Board in general. Perhaps the changes of reverse integration or the term itself is the starting of a new trend to which you were one of the first to witness. Interesting!\n\nMackay Center School\nA Social Affairs School of the English Montreal School Board \n\nhttp://www.emsb.qc.ca/mackay/reverseintegration.htm\n\nReverse integration might refer to 2 things. Firstly it may refer to the opposite trend that has been happening in schools. Rather than integrating students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and behavioural problems into "regular" classroom(s) there will be a classroom(s) dedicated to taking care of the needs of these students as to create a specialized learning environment and program that suits their needs.\n\nSecondly, it may also refer to integrating "regular" student(s) into the specialized classroom as mentioned in the first answer.

Not me personally but when I was 6th grade I had a goegraphy teacher that had like an office type room attached but private from the class romm and all the girls in the class I was friends with one by one confided in me that he had brought them back there tucked thier shirts in for them made advances towards them and touched them innaproprietly and I reported it to the asst principle in a few weeks I was called out of my class I didn't know what for next thing I knew I was in a Van on my why to the Community Center for my city where I had to testify against my teacher for what I was told he then was not in school ever again after that day.

Yes, I think thats funny and accurate.  People try to say that "all sides" should be represented in the classroom, but what they really mean is only Christianity and science, and only in science class.  \n\nOne of my favorites is a cartoon of a teacher wheeling out a "globe" thats just a flat map with a ship sailing off the edge.  The caption reads "Now that we've finished covering Intelligent Design, its time for Intelligent Geography."

Oh, but it is. Just not generally in this country. Go to any Western block European country and watch the teachers & professors are teaching out of doors, having interesting & lively conversations with their students in pubs, sitting on the campus lawns when school is out & having discussions, encouraging their pupils & enjoying their successes. Teachers here, as a rule, are competitive and arrogant. They don't truly love teaching or their students. Of course the school systems here are more difficult for them.

"Reverse discrimination is a term used to describe discriminatory policies or acts that benefit a historically sociopolitically nondominant group (typically women and minorities), rather than the historically sociopolitically dominant group."\n\nTypically things like affirmative action as categorized as Reverse Discrimination.\n\nHowever, in my own personal belief descrimination is wrong.

Yes, you are actually right.  That kind of policy is called "zero tolerance."  It is an attempt to enforce the adult "crime and punishment" model on school age children who have had little exposure to the real world.  Educational literature is filled with studies that show these "zero tolerance" schools don't work and actually harm children's educational development, but demands from the community keep them from changing policy.  I went to a school like that and hated it.\n\nMy advice is to keep your nose clean and when you get out of school try not to be cynical.  When you have your own kids, work to change the school's policy and work to change the community.

Your question is a tough one and if you are from Canada or the US, countries with which I am most familiar, I would say you need to report the situation to the university authorities.  I don't know the situation where you are so it is difficult to give suggstions.   You need to decide if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and possibly begin to quietly work toward reform of your system.

I am a teaching assisant and there are so many children now in the 'inclusion' zone, it is sometimes impossible to have a controlled classroon. There are ADD, Aspergers, extreme low level learners, just plain old bad behaviour alll in the mix as well as the normal good children that are just there to learn. The teachers hands are tied. They can't get rid of any of these children as the law states they have to be included. It can be hell. I feel most sorry for the good ones who are getting left behind because so much time is taken with all of these demanding children.

I am a Canadian living in the US and have done substitute teaching here.  I have found through my work and my wife's statements of what she learned, that there is very little world history taught through basic education here.  They do learn a bit about Canada and Mexico, but it seems, that if it doesn't relate directly to the US, it isn't that important.

I'd say that this is open to interpretation. you are best to ask your teacher or tutor, you cant trust our advice, cos none of us would know for sure.

technically yes but they are doing it anyway \nI encourage all students and families of students who recieve fines not to fall down divided but fight back united in a class action suit against school districts because freedom is not free and certain freedoms will be taken away if nobody fights for them

No I've never done that. Most likely the teacher won't accept it and you'll probably get a failing grade for even trying. In some cases punishment may be more severe like expulsion from school.

I wish I had an answer for you.  This is a sore subject with me.  You forgot to mention that not only are out schools overcrowded but they are also doing bi-lingual teaching which, if memory serves me correctly, is illegal in CA, and it hinders the learning process for the children who are english speaking only.  How do I know this?  Because my child went to a school where literally most of the teachers only taught in spanish and neglected the english only speaking students and my childs grades and learning abilities went into the toilet along with friends.  I quickly yanked my kid out of that particular school, went into another school district where  the non-english speaking children were taught in a different class for a certain amount of time during the school day so the other children were not distracted by the different language and they did not suffer in their studies.   Oh and let's not forget that it seems like all the stores now have all their signs posted in spanish first and english second, if we are lucky.\n\nOur country seems to do so much for the illegal aliens yet don't do jack crap for the citizens who were either born and raised here or who came to the country legally.\n\nLike I said, it is a sore subject with me so I guess it's time to get off my soapbox.\n\nps:  I highly doubt that California would be crippled economically if there were not illegal immigrant workers (illegal aliens).  The illegals don't pay taxes so the State already suffers.

We would "just teach" if we were allowed to. Unfortunately, the powers that be dictate to us what we can and cannot teach.  Classes are now geared towards the children being able to pass exit level examinations and just for education for education's sake. It's not the teachers fault, its something that begins at the Federal level.

If it is illegal a lot of classrooms in California are breaking the law.  I have been teaching for 4 years half of the classrooms I have been in have a sink (I rotate so we are talking about a lot of classrooms).

No, not on the school system. They teach students that it's "I before E except after C", or the difference between "they're", "their" and "there". Trouble is, most students nowadays are too lazy to bother to work at remembering all of that stuff and the school administration has to get them out of the way for the next batch, so they just pass them along. I find it mind-boggling that there are grown people, men and women in responsible positions, who don't know when to use "its" and "it's". Hell, we even have the miracle of Spell Check and people are STILL to lazy to use it.\n--\nOh, and to the people who say "chill out, this is supposed to be a fun site", what's the point of asking a question if no one can understand what it's supposed to be asking? I mean, if you sent me an email asking for the emergency police number for future reference and I typed one back saying "Its 711", wouldn't you be a little pissed to find out it's completely wrong? or if you post a question here asking for the name of the guy who invented the light bulb and someone sent the answer, "Tmos Edyisen", wouldn't that keep you from find out more by doing an internet search since the name is completely mangled?
