Well that’s because I don’t know how to speak it an I try to listen what people said, but it always got me confused Last name 2 because when I read, it was so different from what I heard. It was my fault because I was reading it with the Spanish pronunciation, which makes it harder. My dad speaks English and he was always there for me when I needed help and that helped me a lot. Sometimes teachers are kind of rude. When I was just learning English I used to have a health issue, I used to feel dizzy and feinted.
His exams, on the other hand, were essay question exams and were very difficult especially when someone didn’t study. After the first exam, I knew I had make sure next two were better grades but unfortunately I struggled in English, so essays questions were not my strengths compared to multiple choice. Professor Hammontree graded very strictly on grammar and counted off many points and ended up failing his class. He also required two book summaries and
Allowing children to be able to think independently and create their own behavior can be an effective way to allow for more autonomy, improving their motivation in many areas and get the confidence to achieve better grades in school. Pink explains that “A sense of autonomy has a powerful effect on individual performance and attitude” (88). Many parents will choose to raise and will motivate their children by how they were brought up as a child. While this may seem like a great way to raise a child, it could control motivation and behavior with the experience of pressure and demand. Parents might want to consider teaching their children about autonomous motivation which promotes greater conceptual understanding, better grades, enhanced persistence at school and in sporting activities, higher productivity, less burnout, and greater levels of psychological well-being.
What is meant by inclusion? Inclusion is an active not a passive process (Corbett Cited in Soan 2004:8) and no matter what background, religion, special need, race or disability the child should be include in the whole aspect of the curriculum. Having the environment and resources adapted to meet each individuals specific needs removing any barriers to learning and enabling every child to reach their potential. Inclusion is a big issue within mainstream education today and is very closely connected to the Special Educational Needs (SEN) practice already in place within schools. Many people believe that if a child has Special Educational Needs he/she should be educated in a special school.
Although English is not my second language, I feel that “proper” English is. From Amy Tan’s essay and my own life experience, I believe that too many people in America are treated unfairly because they do not speak “proper” English. I remember growing up with my aunt and having trouble with my English because the school system was so poor. I had to be taken out of my normal classes in third grade and put in a class for kids who had trouble with their English. On career day my teacher asked me what I wanted to be, and I told her I wanted to be a lawyer.

I talk to my friends in a different way than I should, so when I begin to write, I write what I’m use to speaking. This is another major problem I have in writing because I will never learn how to write proper English. My third goal is to focus and understand a piece of literature. In other words, if we begin to read an uninteresting book, I start to slack off and not pay any attention. I need to learn to get use to books that I never imagined me reading because I don’t have a choice but to do it.
In High Schools around the United States scores are getting worse and worse and it’s due to unmotivated teachers who don’t care about the integrity of teaching anymore because it all seems pointless in this current time. You could make a lot more points about High School and its flaws but these ones are the biggest ones that need addressing. From High School to College, a lot of things change. In College you pick your classes, your times, basically everything. You have freedom to do what you like and aren’t held back by counselors and certain start times.
Having severe speech problems as a child, combined with handwriting and spelling issues, I found myself keeping more to my own thoughts and never being able to express my thoughts on paper. At the time, I did not have the ability to sort through my constructive thoughts or even put them on paper. Fortunately after I began going to The Shelton School, a private school for children and teens with learning differences, it was made clear that I should be put into extensive reading and speech classes with the hopes of helping with my struggles. Even though the classes did help me out tremendously with my struggles of spelling and speech, my issues with being able to sort through my jumbled thoughts were never addressed. When I eventually transferred to public schools, the issues that everyone overlooked because they were not an obvious problem for me really came back to haunt me when I was assigned any sort of extensive writing assignment.
