Also the author’s description of Yale students is relative to colleges in America everywhere. Zinsser say, “If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only Yale but throughout American education”. In addition to pressures listed by Zinsser there are many more pressures college students possibly face, such as: facing the future and multitasking. Facing the future is probably the pressure I deal with the most. While I have a clear idea of what I want to do as an adult, I also find myself overwhelmed by trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.
For example, when the student goes to the school, he or she would have to enjoin into a class form 40 - 42 people. And till the end of that grade, each member has responsibility for emulative mark of class. I do not think it’s bad but it decreases individualism of the students and limits their personality. Besides, in the essay, with people who don’t have individualism, Athen explains “Americans assume that the people feels trapped or is weak, indecisive, or overly dependent”. As a result, I understand that individualism is one of the important values which I want to ameliorate for sucess in a global community.
If they get tired and sleepy then children can not function properly in school and during other lessons, like piano or math. This gives children a lot of stress that they have to finish EVERYTHING by a certain date. Some smart students may have already learned the subjects that they are doing really well and they have to do it again needlessly. I think that is why a lot of homework is a complete burden. All in all, I think that too much homework is unnecessary and a torture to so many children.
Why Students Cheat Many students in school today are cheating on tests, final exams, and even plagiarizing someone else’s work. Recently it seems that cheating has become a major issue in our society because not just students cheat but businesses and companies that you would never expect to be dishonest. There are numerous reasons why people cheat and many officials are starting to figure out why. The main reason why people cheat in school is because they are scared to fail. When I was younger my parents always told me that if I didn’t graduate high school, or if I didn’t go to college I wouldn’t get a good job.
Topic:How procrastination affects grades? Procrastination is a problem that many college students have it is also called student syndrome.Procrastination means when a student will only do his task just before the deadline.What are the cause of that phenomenon? How does it affects grades? What are the other effects of procrastinating? The main reason of procrastinating is laziness.Most of the students when they for example get the assignment put it off to the side and do it "later".But that "later" becomes right before the due date or deadline .Still there are many more causes like the fear of failure.It makes you repel the task so that you never have to know this feeling of failure.Or the fear of success it can seem really weird but, but the fear of the success is one of the reason of procrastination.
Their classmates may not find it okay for them to get good grades while they do nothing, while the classmates study hard and long to get the grades that they do. It can also lead the professor to think that the class is too easy. They may feel the need to increase the level of difficulty. Those in the class may not think that is fair either. If a professor finds that a person is cheating, they have to report them to the main office of the college, this can lead to difficulties for a student.
Also, his true intention is for students to explore themselves and find their true interests instead of aiming for well paying jobs. Even though his essay is being read by a huge group of college students, these pressures continue to be with the students, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. These pressures have not gotten any better since the 1970s, in fact they have gotten so much worse. It is naïve for the author to wish for students to experiment themselves and find their true interest when we live in a world where economy is so bad that we can’t afford to fall down. Economic pressure is very hard on students today.
Academic dishonesty occurs in many different forms such as sharing answers, plagiarizing or copying homework; sadly, cheating happens daily in most educational intuitions today. Students cheat because of the various academic pressures they have, and simply stated it's the easy way out, but this can later affect a student's academic and professional career. Today's society values "good grades more than knowledge"(Kennedy, 2012), this idea further burdens students with more academic pressures than what already exists which encourages them to cheat and manipulate their knowledge in order to receive better grades. It is normal for a child's parents to expect good grades from their children, but some parents do not realize the overwhelming pressures that lie on a student's shoulder to achieve a grade of excellence. A "C" letter grade represents satisfactory achievement and should not be looked down upon.
Family pressure can come from parents. Parents are demanding their child to make good grades so they can have a better future. Parents assume if they put pressure on the kid they will be outstanding in school, but it will actually hurt them. The child becomes torn while fulfilling the expectations of their wiser parents. The child should talk to their parents on how they handle the situation.
Most students see homework as a burden VIII. 7hrs of learning at school is enough extra time spend doing homework after school hours where students should be relaxing and rewinding, builds on stress. IX. Homework prevents students to have a balanced and well rounded lifestyle not just a pure academic life X. The amount of stress homework causes kids is ridiculous, especially when they're already under so much pressure to get into a good college and do well in school, along with making friends and staying active.
