ISSUE: Half-day Kindergarten is not sufficient for working parents

# data[].attributes.body
Statement of the Problem:
Half day kindergarten affects parents and students which directly ties into the school district. Parents need to have  care for their student so they are able to work a full day. Having half day kindergarten means more money being spent by parents. This directly ties into the school because teachers may have their own children in kindergarten which also means they then need to find child care for their students so they can work a full day.

1. Half day Kindergarten is not sufficient for working parents.

2. Half day kindergarten affects parents and students which directly ties into the school district. Parents need to have  care for their student so they are able to work a full day. Having half day kindergarten means more money being spent by parents. This directly ties into the school because teachers may have their own children in kindergarten which also means they then need to find child care for their students so they can work a full day.

3. This is a problem of practice I am interested in exploring because it directly affected me when I was teaching and had a son in kindergarten. Very soon I will have another child going into kindergarten and i will be required to find aftercare if it is not a full-day program.

4. It is important to explore now as I am going to soon have another kindergartener and many other parents in the community are experiencing the same issue.

5. Many parents make an argument that the transition period from preschool to kindergarten is hard on students going from a half-day program to a full fady program. Half day is a way for students to be exposed to academics and engage with their peers but still be able to have that period to transition into education over a year.

6. I explored the topic briefly when my oldest son who is now 13 was in kindergarten. I was able to go to a board meeting and give my opinion along with many other parents, but I have not explored it much beyond that.

7. I have not read literature on this.

2. The curriculum only caters to atypical students who are able to sit down and sit still for long periods of time,

3 I am interested in exploring this topic now because many students struggle with paying attention during long periods of time and there is not a good curriculum to cater to this.

4. Studying this now will provide me with insight into curriculums that could be useful for my classroom or children at home.

5. This is a new topic for me!

1. I have not explored this topic.

2. I have not read literature on this topic.

ISSUE: Classroom consequences with middle schoolers 

# data[].attributes.body
Statement of the Problem:
When dealing with middle school students they have officially reached the age where they realize they can tell an adult no. How do we implement consequences that will assist with good classroom management?

1 Classroom consequences with middle schoolers

2 Classroom consequences with middle schoolers is an issue when dealing with teenage students as they are now at an age where they realize the consequences of telling an adult no are not as severe as they once thought when they were younger.

3 I am interested in exploring this topic now because it directly affects my daily teaching and skills as I am a middle school teacher.

4 Studying this now will provide me with the insight that I need while teaching middle schoolers and it directly ties in with my current practice of teaching.

5. My past relationship with this topic was different as I was teaching elementary school and did not apply to my daily teaching.

1. I have briefly explored classroom rules with middle school students but it pertained to younger students as I was then teaching younger students.

2. I have not read literature on this topic specifically.
