Due to the large population of Spanish speakers in California I would think that educators would want to mock Miami’s style of teaching both English and Spanish.

Now that I've taken over the job here at the Chamber of Commerce plus substitute teaching, I keep very busy . . .

Some people, like the Afrocentrists, feel that this influence is too heavy and that schools should also be teaching about other cultures in their classes. Schlesinger states in his book that he "believes in the importance of teaching Americans the history of other cultures—East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Polynesia." Since we live in a multicultural society, we should be teaching a multicultural curriculum. At my high school, I feel as if I received this type of education.

- 69: The Importance of Reading In Educational Development
- ... to reading starting from Kindergarten, by the first grade they should already develop emergent literacy. I personally believe that reading is the most powerful weapon in our fight against illiteracy. Education majors who will be teaching grades k-12 should be taught how to teach phonics to students, Phonics should also be included in pre-service teaching requirements. Even though I strongly believe that systematic Phonics instruction should be incorporated in every elementary school classroom, I am not denouncing other strategies of teaching reading. Different teaching strategies work for different people and are continually tested and tempered by practice and by classroom trial and error.

Socrates – Many have asked this before and ...
