3. Communication in the classroom.

Communication is the driving force in any relationship or situation and it has also beco
me one of our most disturbing, yet intimate forms of connecting with others. It isvitally
important to know when communication should take place, where it should take place, a
nd why one should communicate.The paper contends that educators are doing an inferio
r job educating poorchildren. According to the paper, when a child does not speak Stand
ard English, theteacher must be able to reach the child on his level of understanding and
transfer him tothe standard level of understanding; effective classroom communication
requires theteacher and students to be able to send and receive messages accurately. The
paper statesthat the classroom should: provide a variety of stimuli; provide a secure, co
mfortablefeeling; be adapted to fit the activity; and give some privacy and individuality.
