Future Teachers Creating Brighter Times Ahead
By Emily Boudreau | Observer Contributor
The hardest choice when going to college for many is choosing a major. Many students in college will change their major multiple times before sticking with one choice. I was lucky enough to find two MWCC students who have known their majors for the two years they have attended the school. Their majors both have to do with educations but they vary in many ways and it was interesting seeing the major from two different viewpoints.
Siobhan Haggerty of Fitchburg is majoring in Education with a goal to make a difference in the education system. The main changes in the education system she believes should be the “standardized testing system because the way it is now has very little positive effects on children and their futures and also having more integrated classrooms,” said Haggerty. Her main goal for the future is to become a special education teacher for grades six and under or a school psychologist. Haggerty believes that “all children should learn together and learn from the differences and disabilities of other students.”
