Everything academic revolves around the year-end state testing to the point that other subjects are usually neglected. Reading, math and writing are the main thrusts of schools, and are obviously important. However, critics state that children are not receiving well-rounded educations because of the emphasis on these subjects
I have always strived for that perfect A. Through middle school, it always came easy too. When I sat down in class, after my first test, I couldn’t stop biting my nails, and I sat nervously in my seat. I realized from that day, I was going to have to put forth a strong effort in my tests to battle my weakness. Today, I constantly struggle with test taking.
I believe that many students need motivations and reasons to do frequent studying, reading, and exercising; therefore frequent in-class exams will give them good reasons and motivations to start reviewing a chapter. Frequent tests will be more efficient in classes that require a lot of readings and memorizing, such as history, politic, geography, etc, because if a student procrastinate his reading until a night before the test, he will be overwhelmed. Another advantage from frequent exams is that students can use their returned exams that have been given feedbacks and the right answers for their study guides to prepare for their midterm or
Entry 2 I hate Mid-terms. How are we supposed to remember every little detail that we learn? I have been study a lot and getting ready for them. I got an A on the quiz in trig which made me feel more eager to get back into school and get the good grades. My visits with Berger are making me feel a lot better.
In the article “Fear of Heights: Teachers, Parents, and Students are Wary of Achievement.” Author Bob Chase, who is president of the National Education Association pointed that teachers and parents should more worried about the students who involved in many extracurricular activities after school. He called these students are the “C” students. We know in all of the school teachers like the “A” students because they concentrate in class, serious write notes and review, all of the test result are also very good. Instead, the “C” students very busy every day. Since they into the class, they don't stop talking, send messages and also have a lot of function in school clubs.
There I attended Johnson Primary School. When I had left my previous grade school, I was excelling in every subject and absolutely loved school. I quickly began to hate school once I started at Johnson Primary. The children at Johnson Primary were learning math in a different way than I had been taught. Although I was getting the correct answers, they believed that I was figuring out the
Erica Goldson Valedictorian Speech Response Erica Goldson brought up a very controversial and very interesting topic about our current education system in the US. She states that students are so focused at memorizing data and getting good grades, that they miss out on the whole idea of learning and being educated. I agree with her, students should be learning and absorbing the material, instead of memorizing for the next big test and just forgetting about it later on. Graduating seems like the top priority in students nowadays, and to me that is just upsetting. And the students who are very talented and are very motivated to learn and be driven in a non-academic subject seem to have a more negative image than the people who are driven by academics.
In a typical school day you are required to perform a wide variety of tasks. In order to be a successful student you will need to be very well organised in all areas of your work. Although it may seem an obvious area, the efficient organisation of books and equipment is vital. The student who does not bring the right books to class or forgets a calculator for Mathematics, for example, is less likely to get as much from a lesson as the student who always brings what is needed and organises his/her material in an efficient way. While some subjects provide exercise books for you to work in, others may require you to use a file.
However, when these actions are repeated consistently, judging their personalities from these actions would be very reasonable. For example, if a student turns in their homework for every class on time for the entire year, it shows that he/she is organized and hard working. So in conclusion, a person’s actions do reflect on their personalities, but not every gesture they make should be taken account of because as human beings, we all make mistakes once in
I love helping my kids with their homework. While helping them with their homework there is a lot of things that I learn that I never knew. Even when I become a teacher there will be some things that I be learning as I teach my students. There are a lot of obstacles that I have to encounter on a day to day basis. As I am doing my schooling online there are times that I just want to quit but I know to myself that I have come this far and I refuse to turn around.
