Learn and Serve #2: 10/13...2:15

I really enjoy my learn and serve placement. I am located at Niagara Catholic High School and I really enjoy the teacher that I have and the teaching atmosphere. The students are nice and the teacher is really great with them. She jokes around with them but not enough to avoid straying from the topic being taught. The teacher had another teacher assistant in the classroom when I went this week and that was the only downturn. I helped out a few students with classwork but I'm not always comfortable being the only college student in the classroom. There was no real problem, it was just a little weird at the time. I do enjoy my placement over all the other placements I've had so far though. I've had to help students and that has been fun for me. Some of the students struggled a little but because of the "No Child Left Behind Act," (p.42) the teacher needs to make sure that all the students are at the same pace and all receive the same attention.
