Some would stay it is because students do not want to study and just find it much easier to just purchase a essay online or to park their seat next to the “nerd” in the class to ensure that you ace every pop quiz. Others would say that the pressures of being scholastically advanced are too much of a burden, so they cheat to ensure that their goals are achieved they way their parents and teachers visualize for them. Whatever the reason, is it worth the risk or should students just be satisfied with the grades that they actually earned. Cheating may not always be the first option for some students but end up being the last resort in some situations. In high school, if a child is trying to land scholarship or trying to get into a prestigious school that only accepts the elite of the elite you are pressured to excel in all aspects of your academic career.
Principally, single sex schools are beneficial for the students that attend them because they create a better learning environment. At a certain point in time the opposite sex becomes a distraction to the natural learning environment and disrupts the flow of a class as well as life in school. Rosalind Rosenberg, a Stanford graduate with a BA and PHD had documented that male traditions, which had initially isolated women in many colleges and universities, began to fade and the modem sexual revolution struck American campuses. The efforts of the university administrators to impose a system of separate sexual spheres on student social life were largely futile. The youth of the teens and twenties rejected the rigid constraints of Victorian society and the young women cut their hair, threw away their corsets, shortened their skirts, danced all night, and even Eliza Mosher could not do much about it (Rosenberg).
Also, how it should be banned, there are, believe it or not, some positives to all of the negatives. One, it is good for kids who are behind or need extra help. For example, a student does not understand the material and is academically struggling. This student should be given homework to help the material to gradually become easier and raise the students grades. Greg Toppo agrees with these statements on the positivity of homework for struggling students.
Later, though, after the student has cheated, there is a sense of ease and resolution to the situation, and this weakens her argument, making the issue of cheating seem almost irrelevant or benign. The reader also notices Wenke’s use of the personal pronoun “you” throughout the scenario in the first paragraph, suggesting that she is aiming the argument at high school and college students. It’s evident that the tone of this piece shifts, but the author begins with a quizzical tone and asks many questions throughout her argument. “If my parents’ generation had such high morals and wouldn’t cheat, wouldn’t they teach their children the same?” (Wenke, Page 1) She then moves to a more contemplative tone in the latter part of the piece, explaining the possible effects of cheating on our society today. She points out that “this attitude will not stop in the classroom, but will carry on into the business world… [the students who cheat] are in turn the ones who will
Group Grading While volunteering in my son’s kindergarten class I have come to realize that education is one area that would not benefit from group grading system. Grading students as a group allows some students to advance based on the work of others, and individual grading makes each student responsible for their own future. Although some people may benefit from a group grading system, an individual grading system is a much better way to judge a student’s level of knowledge, makes them accountable for their own work, and keeps teachers informed of what each student is learning. One of the many ways grading students as a group is less efficient and seemingly harmful is the fact that all students do not have the same level of knowledge. Some academics come naturally to students and if they are outnumbered by those that don’t comprehend the lesson, then they may receive a poor grade.
Regardless of the outcome, Weisenfeld becomes disgruntled and exposes how students attempt to manipulate and take advantage of teachers by asking, demanding, and using stories of woe in order to convince teachers to issue higher grades. If a student fails, should he or she not be able to accept the grades they are given, rather than fight for a grade that did not reflect their work? Instinctively students should know what grade he or she will receive at the end of the course. Most teachers and professors offer students several methods of reviewing how well they are currently doing in class. A student should never act dumbfounded by how poorly their final grades turned out to be considering the amount of information provided by the instructor in order to help aid the student in time of need.
Case Analysis EDU/315 – Legal & Ethical Issues in Education 06/04/2012 Teaching is no longer an aspect of impacting knowledge on students. Today, however, teachers are not only expected to tutor but also to be the guardian as for the students. Teaching upholds both legal and ethical expectations for teachers. Imagine a fifth grade teacher who during exams suspects one of the students of cheating- this she concludes after she observes the student looking across the aisle at another students paper. The teacher goes over to the student, tears the exam paper in two, and dumps it in the dustbin.
April 2013 “Stand And Deliver” Film Essay. To prejudge a group of people as a stereotype can negatively limit the group or individuals being stereotyped. It can be worst when that group of people believe the stereotype and begin to limit themselves. In the film Stand and Deliver, the math teacher Jaime Escalante encourages his students beyond the negative perceptions that society has placed against them. His encouragement and belief in his students shows the difference a wise educator can have on a student’s life.
Public school is better than home schooling because public school mentally prepares students for the real world; giving students knowledge on how to deal with bullying and peer pressure, and also allowing them to interact with different students and teachers. "Yes, read that part again-- government schools were never about truly educating your child; they were and are about creating happy workers and taxpayers, people afraid to challenge the status quo and unable to read and think for themselves. " (Vaughan 647). Although some parents have jobs and are not able to home school their children, public school could be their option. Public school education prepares students for the real world by displaying to them how school is a job by giving them the imagery of having an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job that comes with hard work and dedication.
Todd’s parents think that he should become a lawyer and they do not give him a lot of attentions as they send him the same desk set each year. Their new English teacher, Mr. Keating or “The Captain”, is different from the rest and some of the students find him mad. In their first class, he brings them to see pictures of some of the former students at the school. Through poems he tells them to seize the day, Carpe Diem, a term which he thinks the students should live by. Mr. Keating’s way of teaching brings out the uniqueness of the pupils, but the other teachers, bound by traditions and discipline, do not like his way of teaching.
