Chapter 8 group presentation

This group did a very good job. They outlined the chapter very well. They talked about the organization of a school and about all of the employees involved within a school. They also touched up on the qualities of an effective school, such as, good school and class sizes, interactive instruction, monitoring of student progress, and a safe and orderly environment. They talked about virtual schools, which includes kids from K- college and classes are taught online. They also talked about a 4 day school week, which seems kind of beneficial because it has fewer dropout rates and attendance is much higher. However, it also has negative effects on the students as well and it could be a very controversial subject if a school were considering changing to a 4 day school week. They also touched on the subject of a full day kindergarten, which I think is very beneficial for students. It is very good for the overall development of the kids. Overall, this group did a very nice job in their presentation and outlining the chapter for the class.
