It is the responsibility of the educator to be ready for his/her students at all times. If you do not know what is supposed to happen in a give class how do one expect the student to be willing and ready to go. It is a benefit to the educator to be ready for the class so that they now are ready for that student that is board easy and will disrupt your class room before you can get yourself together and get started. You have to be ready when they walk in the door.

A process that was created to keep the schools and the teaching staff on top of if has become the very thing that hinders the school and the teaching staff. (PSSA testing)  I believe that some testing is needed but this test is a disruption to the very process of what is supposed to be done to and for the student. Somebody needs to come up with a better way, perhaps not as often.

We also have to offer our students more options for careers so that their job opportunity are better. 
So people make it without the formal education but we must encourage our students to get as much of an education as they can get.  Having two careers is not a bad idea.
