Likewise it is just as important to accept that getting things wrong is okay and to understand how we can learn from our mistakes. Circle time is a great tool to learn how to take turns and listen to others, philosophy sessions is an excellent opportunity for children to express themselves without the fear of being wrong, to realise that everyone has their own opinion and that we do not all have to think the same and agree with each other.

Quindlen’s first main assertion is “Teaching is the toughest job there is.” (100). To back up her assertion Quindlen uses Frank McCourt’s new memoir, Teacher Man, in which he explains to his new students that “Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses.” (100). Quindlen uses a strong assertion to let her readers think through how much teachers get paid and that there are no summer vacations and cushy hours, “mornings are for students who need extra help, and summers are for second and even third jobs to help pay the bills.” (100) With this assertion, Quindlen makes a strong appeal to her readers of how hard it is to be a teacher and be underpaid. Quindlen wrote, “The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty something with no mortgage and no kids.” (100) Majority of Americans went to school, passed and moved on to their jobs and didn’t realize that they wouldn’t be making the amount of money that they do if the under paid teachers hadn’t completed their job. Quindlen supports her argument with facts of how much teachers make, and how hard teachers really do have it.
The policy sets the boundaries of behavior expected from the children and also the behavior expected from staff. It sets out how we should reward the children and sanction them e.g. my nursery rewards potty training with stickers and other good behavior with verbal praise, if a child is behaving inappropriately then we explain to them firmly that the behavior is not acceptable and we suggest the correct behavior that they should be displaying and if the behavior carries on then we put them in thinking time or take them away from an activity. We encourage the children to resolve conflicts by sharing or negotiating with each other. It also has the anti-bullying policy in it and how we should handle situations and explains what inappropriate behavior is.

We have age limits and restriction on many things, but why does are education system expect these young kids to make the right choices, ask for help and develop good study habits on their own.

It is an aspect that should be considered important in each and every family context because children need to be assisted in their studies more so in doing their homework (Jarvis & Chandler, 2001).
