I gave more details about the relationship between MacFarland and Mike. I also included Ken into my summary to help with the confusion of who he is. I also reworded sentences that were confusing.

This one fact shows evidence that David has BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) for both languages, but surprisingly little to no CALP (Cognitive Academic Learning Proficiency) in Spanish as well as English not only for himself – but his parents as well. The NLL teacher, regular education teacher, and I (his student teacher) have speculated whether his parents have confused the NLL program to a Spanish emersion program. In addition to the NLL program at Pillsbury, David’s regular education teacher has done many things to adapt the curriculum in the classroom to fit the needs of the Spanish-speaking students. The morning meeting (focusing on the calendar, morning message, and counting on the 100’s number chart) is primarily done in English with some Spanish. The Spanish portions include the days of the week, the months of the year, and counting by 10’s to 100.
Elibeth Torres Professor Gaydosh English 101 31 March 2012 The Impact of Vocational Education on Mike Rose The Vocational Education in high school can be quite helpful for some students, but for other students is just a waste of time and they can acquire a feeling of embarrassment. In the short Non-fiction story “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose, he narrates how he was placed in the Vocational Education track by mistake, due to a confusion with another student last name. He describes not only the problems with Vocational Education, but the impact it has on the students who spends the entire school years in Voc. Ed. Vocational Education affects Mike Rose as he is not challenged intellectually, and is being abuse emotionally, but even after facing these problems, he learns to be social and appreciates diversity.
He starts by saying that that the students at Harvard university have to learn subjects that are not so important as subjects like Roman, Greek and Roman History or learning about novels poetry. Also the students have to study a language for only a year and that makes it impossible for the student to learn at least the basics of the language. He claims that the habits that you will get from the university have great significance in the long run for the students life. The liberal education lets students learn about their history and other nations history, also it can benefit not only students but help the whole society by participating in democracy and make them capable of distinguishing the public and the private interest. The one of the main problem about liberal arts core is that teachers distinguish some books from others by telling the students that some are better from the others, and don’t teach anything outside their experience.
In example, if a student gets by in his English class not caring and not trying to learn, but his teacher likes the student so he passed him, when that student goes to college he will have trouble because he doesn’t know how to write a correct essay because he was given the grade. “Ten of thousands of 18 years-old will graduate this year and will be handed meaningless diplomas (Sherry 510). This shows most students have high school diplomas but
Literacy Autobiography Playing sports, socializing with friends, and working – All reasons why I am an alliterate reader and writer. I never realized the importance of paying attention in school to learn to read and write properly when I was younger. Although I graduated from high school and have a diploma, the lack of initiative and motivation in school has led me to be an alliterate reader and writer today. While in high school, playing sports was more important then learning how to read and write properly. Socializing with friends and going out to have fun was another reason why I did not learn how to write proficiently.
Their perspective on how the underachieved educational system is, alongside my encounters with complex of schooling. In high school, we are given many standards every day that we must meet in order to be considered successful, but the reality is; these standards are fruitless in expectation for colleges and universities. In high school I did not get the English composition skills, to prepare me for my college courses. They are right about their belief that the professors in the universities are very inspired in some ways to give their standards to the students in depth knowledge to set higher standards, however, it is not good to know that some high school students still enter Americas elite schools through remedial process, because it might agitate the worldwide standards set by the school
May 2011 Dear Parents and Students: Your MYP 9th grade Humanities teacher is requiring incoming freshmen to read either Little Brother by Cory Doctorow or 1984 by George Orwell for summer reading, so the students can better prepare themselves for their freshman year. We appreciate and need your support in this endeavor. Students may choose which text they would like to read, and although they are not required to read both, they are more than welcome to do so and it is encouraged. Parents are highly encouraged to read the text, and discuss some major issues or events occurring in our current global society. The required selections are somewhat difficult and deal with mature themes.
The barriers that undocumented students face in their path to a higher education can be overcome with the help of the Federal Government. And these can be done by passing a bill that helps undocumented students with there financial and illegal difficulties. For many years the U.S. has made it hard for undocumented students to attend college, and all because of their illegal status. These are undocumented students whose illegal status didn’t matter as they attended elementary school. But all of that changes on the day that they reach senior year in high school at the process of filling out the college application and financial-aid forms.
