EDUCATIONBy: Crystal Pereira
Education During the 20th Century
Students were in rooms of 30-40 per classroom
Students who excelled would help teach kids of lower levels
Teachers got an annual pay of around $325
Being a teacher was not a job people respected very much
Kids weren’t separated by grade
AFT The American
Federation of Teachers The first national
teachers’ union in the country
They were progressive because they challenged the way school was being run
Causes Teachers weren’t
considered professionals to others
Teachers weren’t trained too well
Students were growing in numbers because of immigrants
Students who excelled were teaching lower levels
Oral History Mr. Pruneda grew up not speaking English
very well and went to school in America He doesn’t believe that we should have
Bilingual Education because people should learn to adapt to the environment and learn English.
Comparing Then and NowTHEN NOW
30-40 kids per class Teachers were not trained
very well Some of the people teacher
were students themselves. Standards were not set too
high Not a lot of schools existed Different grade levels were
all in one room Didn’t have as much
technology
Classrooms have better student-teacher ratios.
Teachers go through extensive training
We have more schools with better standards
We have levels for students (Grade levels: Elementary, High School)
We use more technology in our classes
