Case: No Fun in School
My principal is a firm believer in instruction from bell to bell. I teach in an elementary school and we used to have school wide celebrations for students who have met their Reading and Math goals. Now it is left up to the teacher but it has to be done during the students scheduled Activity time. I feel that some students could be more motivated if the fun was brought back to our elementary school. How do I get my principal to understand this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a persuasive writing assignment, have students write letters to the principal with reasons to include fun, but educational, activities. Hearing the opinions of the students may be more powerful than coming from a teacher, as we should all have the students best interests in mind. |

Comments: Giving the students a chance to persuade the principal about the fun factor in school lets them have a seat at the decision table! Presenting the writing prompt as a general situation instead of a present one will keep the students in their place as students. Having the students write their proposals into letters to the principal will also assist in this matter. |

Comments: I do not believe you should have the student write letters to the principle. Instead of a persuasive writing, have them write an opinionated piece about what ideas can be implemented to gain their interest while at school. |

Comments: I really enjoyed reading your suggestive solution to the matter. Getting students involved in their education is extremely important. Also, this fosters students' self-advocacy. |
