The B grade allocate the 70% chance. A

Schranz tells teacher, the school focused on the infrastructure, polices and programs, specially the percentage of schools have qualified PE teachers for lectures for this reason a grade of B+ was assigned. At school 75 percentage of primary and 98 percentage of secondary schools student have access to PE teacher and 66 percentage of primary students and 38-45 percentage students in grade 8-10 undertake at least 120 minutes. The proposal is for school environment hoe students are learning to move and moving to learn. She says it’s important to teach kids how to move or learn to move and they are also learning other things and they have multiple opportunities. In this way students can save recess and their lunch time. We need to do these activities outside of the school, so the community, the parents and the government need to support the school.

Refugees scared  of citizenship test

summery:-

The refugee who never had education or little education  have feared of failing the test and this thing stopped them from seeking citizenship. The government announced it would analysis the citizenship test because the refugees had much higher fail rates than others. The people who lived in the refugee camps for the last couple of years to come straight away and didn't be able to give test.  Moreover The level of English used in the test had a high level and it's created a barrier with these type of people. The people who failed their first attempt probably they never go for the test again.

Reflection:-

in my opinion government should support them who didn't have basic or general education. Many people can play a vital role to encourage them and teach them. And language is important for well being.

Summary:-

The school teacher said we should banned phones in the classroom and the benefits are obvious. She knows the popularity of mobile phones, they are fantastically handy. The class is going to argue that the phone are not an important part of our lives. That for many students they are an Unwelcome distraction and a waste of time. The teacher understand that they can be useful in accessing
information but majority students using their phones in class do so to listen music, access social media or play games. Many students specially children they are often Incapable making mature decisions. The teacher used to allow students to use their phones in the classroom but it was totally detrimental to their learning. They become distracted and the cut off from the rest of the class. Of couture there are benefits that accrue from the use of mobile phones. She said, she will be seeking permission to have some of her media students use their mobile phones to create a short film in her media class. She don't want her students wasting their time to listening music and playing games instead of getting work done.


Reflection :-

We are in a generation, where technology play a major role. No one would argue that smart phones, I pads and many other devices made life easier and more entertaining for our kids. But technology has drastically changed family life and students life as well. Students waste their time on the fanciest devices. Instead of paying attention in class and capturing important information, students are spending more time focused on their cellular devices. Mobile phone is a source of communication but it should be banned in the classrooms.
