counter argument why do materials matter.

         Materials don't matter in some classes as they do in other classes, because of the subject or what the teacher requires the student to do. A class like physical education the only things that are required to be brought are P.E uniforms, the rest is provided by the school. For other classes the homework and even class work can be done online, so instead of spending money year after year on stationary they could save for computers. Teachers should find more and more ways to give assignments that don't require a lot of materials such as projects that take time to complete and have that replace the daily home work. The more ways to give these assignments the better it would be for children and schools that cannot provide proper materials for school work.

          Teachers could try to have more one on one teaching session with students, because this would make students understand more and be able to learn more. This would cut down the use of materials because the student is learning, and he wont really need to take notes. If the teacher is really into the lesson the students could even pick up on the vibe the teacher is giving off and be more in-tuned with the lesson. The teacher should find ways to make the lessons fun, for example with an earth science teacher the teacher could take the class out side for an ecosystem trip around the campus. This could get children more excited about what will happen on the next lesson and they would feel more and more relatable with with the lessons. These ways would dramatically lower the amount of materials used in class rooms, and would help in student learning as well.

          The teacher could try making a class more colorful by using charts that are hand drawn on the board of on construction paper and hang some were in the class room for students without books to copy. This would also help for scores because it would be easy to refer to the chart when needed than having to go though page after page looking for it in a note book. The teacher could use good examples so that the student can have the lesson in there mind which they can easily recall with the example that the teacher gave. This can cut down more and more materials because the better u remember the easier it will be to do the work than to look it up in a book because you don't remember.
