Education Building

Since I am an Elementary Education major, I get to spend a lot of time with the future teachers of Alabama. Most, well no ALL, of my classes are in the Education Building. Right now I'm learning not only how to manage my classroom, but also how to teach Math, Science, and Social Studies.

One of the things that always gets to me is how cute everything has to be. We don't just use binders to hold all of our power points, we use cute binders, that if not already decorate, have personal embellishments on them. You can't simply label you binder "Math." It has to be "ED 445: Instructional Methods of Teaching Math," printed with the cutest, curliest font and some sort of clip art at the bottom of the page. Where would our presentations be with out crayon embellishments? What about our rulers and apples? Could a bulletin board function without those?
