Homework #5
I chose Teachers Pay Teachers, and although it seems to be legal from all aspects of the idea I find it to be lazy. I have taken education courses and learned about lesson planning and how to create an effective lesson plan. Taking my experiance into consideration I find this website to be unethical, in that the teachers are buying lesson plans to teach children, to do their homework and learn when they are not even going to the trouble of creating the lesson plan themselves. They are trying to instill in the children a standard that they themselves are not even following. Their copyright section seems to be quite intent upon not infringing upon anyones property whether physical or intellectual, they state that they “respect the intellectual property rights of others, and [they] ask that [their] users do the same.” Also the teachers who create the lesson plans on here, cater towards their students so the use of these “shared” lesson plans will not work for every classroom and in this way cheats the student out of a good education and the government out of the money that they pay the teachers to do just that, teach. A teacher in Illinois that creates a lesson plan for her classroom is not considering the class that she has never met and in Southern California whose teacher buys her lesson plan. Lesson plans are created for a certain classroom. This is not to say that you cannot alter a lesson plan but if that is your intention than why not just create your own lesson plan in the first place? The schools pay teachers to create their own lesson plans, so I believe it is unethical for schools to allow teachers to shirk their work and get off by just downloading a lesson plan from someone who is not familiar with the children in their classroom.
