3. What could have significantly made the type of resources in the two classrooms
different?
● It's different kinds and arrangements of all furniture, displays, and
teaching aids
because of the year level. Also, some teachers prefer to be more simply
than full
of those resources.
● Second, It depends on the guidelines from the head of the school. That's
why
teachers are not allowed to put everything inside the classroom; they
must
follow the guidelines.
● Lastly, Lack of space because public schools usually have a large
population of
students so not all of that resources were put inside the classroom.
