Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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!) Talk with your Principal and share how you feel. Discuss how your ideas could improve the instruction and student learning. Ultimately we have to follow what the Administration decides. We can share ideas and if the Principal sees your desire to help hopefully they will be open to suggestion. Being a Principal is a difficult position and their is a lot of pressure of them to help keep the school running smoothly. Maybe the reward could involve some type of educational game.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Having an open communication with the administration about how you feel and how the having fun activities will help students. This is a great idea. I would do this if I were in your situation.
