In contrast, he believe the employers look at the range of classes the students take, not what grade they got on a specific subject. According to Zinsser, its the students' own business to break the cycles in which they are trapped. He reminded the students the road ahead is still a long one and it will have more unexpected turns than they think. So he wish them have some release and give themselves a little break. Students now days confront more pressures than students in the late 1970s.
He believed that people were ignorant and shouldn’t be allowed to rule themselves. For, without the proper knowledge, people make poor choices all the time. Look at Freedom. A good school in general, but in it students demonstrate poor decision making every day. Students get it fights, take drugs, drink alcohol, skip classes and do things that just don’t make sense.
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. Mike’s intellectual was working below his abilities. He lost interest in learning at school or in even paying attention he says, “During my time in Voc. Ed., I developed further into a mediocre student and a somnambulant problem solver, and that affected the subjects I did have the wherewithal to handled: I detested Shakespeare; I got bored with history. My attention flitted here and there” (Rose 160).
Sometimes students blame teachers for their procrastination because they feel the teacher is boring and not teaching right. If students can overcome their boredom in their classes then that would help them with
There might be some benefit keeping the students around until they turn 18, but the cons outweigh what’s the best interest to these kids. They disrupt other students, teachers, and are unmotivated to reach their potential, often find themselves stuck on a daily basis. Dropping out is the only choice they can have and limiting this very choice only makes things worse. Although I agree with Chapman, I think that Obama serves good intentions with this proposal but the idea may be thought not well enough. I believe that you cannot force kids into learning and even doing so, they will have a harder time attending classes than before.
Another reason students drop out of college is because they are recent immigrants. Moving to another place affects studying pretty often. People have to settle on a new place and organize their life there, so, they don’t have any extra time for going to college. Many people can’t find their selves on a new place, so they get depressed and lose their desire to study at college. It occurs to many good students that after moving they can’t use their knowledge and develop the skills they have got before.
Students are deprived and oppressed of a quality education because the district does not have the money to invest on the kids’ education; unlike in other school districts in wealthier areas where the class sizes are smaller the teaching quality is considerably better. How is a student from south central Los Angeles supposed to compete with one of Beverly Hills when not even their GPA’s have the same value? America is not a perfect society, people say that racism does not exist, but I believe it does. Contrary to Paine’s belief, racism is everywhere we go, whether it be a corner store or shopping mall or in sterotypes. If a Hispanic person or African American person goes into a store they get watched and/or followed to make sure we do not steal anything, but, if a white person goes into a store, they do not get neither followed nor watched.
Furthermore students have little say as to what and when the courses they will be taking, with most of it made mandatory by the school board. Also the teachers are under the impression that students are immature, and that teacher knows best. Therefore as a way to guide the students, they further restricted freedom by making many of the decisions for the students. This consequently makes the life of high school student dull and repetitive. On the contrary, college life is full of surprises.
This is supported by Baxter (1994) he said that lack of stimulation, I.e. boredom or belief that a relationship is not going anywhere, then this is often a reason as to why relationships end. The final reason, maintenance difficulties, this is when some relationships only work though seeing them regularly, so going to university might put a strain on a relationship as the daily contact between the couple has been decreased. Shaver et al (1985) said that while romantic relationships can be strong enough to survive decreased daily contact, maintenance difficulties may become overwhelming and this can also result in a breakdown. Holt and Stone (1988) contradicted this theory and suggested that even if people have long distance relationships such as university, as long as they could reunite, there was little decrease in their satisfaction.
Discuss some positive and some negative aspects of Mr. Scott’s way of dealing with tardiness in the preceding case history. When reading what Mr. Scott wanted to do for his class, my first response was that’s not fair at all, not allowing Susan to participate in the discussion seemed unfair to her and her development as a student. It may send her the wrong message that being too smart is not good practice to keep. “Susan is an “A” student and according to Mr. Scott she tends to do dominate the classroom exchanges” (Borich. 2011).
