These notes would later become my study sheets to be memorized for a unit test‚ quiz or exam. Kozol (2005) comments on the unequal quality of education in relation to rote instruction in education in a conversation with the head of a

Kenneally EDUC - 178 March 2‚ 2014 Why I Want to be a Special Education Teacher I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. I would set up my living room as a classroom and play for school for hours and hours. My mother was wonderful enough to let me leave my classroom set up for days.
