If you don’t do the work, how do you expect to get good grades? Study at least 30 minutes a day, and twice on the subject you’re having a hard time in. Repeating a grade is one of the most embarrassing things in high school. Taking the same class you took previously, but with younger students. Of course you’re going to get teased, picked on, and called stupid.
Marks will be deducted for lateness at the rate of 10% of the possible mark per working day, exhausting all possibility of any mark in two (2) weeks. Students should endeavour to be punctual for class as late arrivals disturb presentations and lectures. During class, mobile phones are to be switched to silent. Use of lap top computers and tablets (eg. iPad) are only to be used for class related activities.
This class moves too fast and has enough work without extra credit. * The pace of the class also makes it too difficult to have late work of make-up work, so there is none. Plus, since I drop you lowest essay scores and your lowest exercise scores I think it’s fair. If you miss one, that just becomes the one of the dropped ones. * Attendance * I have to call roll for the first couple of days for administrative purposes, but I will not take formal attendance.
The second instance of an undocumented absence results in a reduction of your total points for grading by 100 points. Each subsequent undocumented absence will result in another 100 point reduction. Student Responsibilities: This is a very challenging class; therefore, it is important that you are prepared to work at the learning experience. You cannot expect to learn without reading the chapters, practicing the topics (attempting the questions, exercises, and problems suggested), turning in all assignments, and
When we are eating no teachers are around us giving us more lessons. Is it really going to hurt someone texting at lunch? You think that would be an appropriate time, but its not. Or during passing periods we had five minutes to get to class to class. I know for some students it doesn't take that long to get to class unless talking with your friends which is the biggest thing.
Devin Dufrene Essay 4 April 14, 2009 Failure Failure! Some students are afraid of it, Then again some students are given grades and passed anyway. Students should not be given grades and diplomas if they did not learn the necessary information and earn the grade. In this essay I will respond on how I agree with Mary Sherry in “In Praise of the F Word “on how students are hurt later in life First, if student doesn’t learn necessary information in high school he or she will not be able or having a lot off trouble in the after life with college or there new job. 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.
The recurring intervals between school sessions are perfect for either educational remediation or enrichment, depending on the student. Thousands of students sit in classes each day that do not fit their needs. The classes are either extremely difficult, and their grades suffer, or they are a breeze, an A requiring minimum effort. Whichever the case, school isn’t doing anything for them. Many times, unfortunately, this situation lasts for the entire 180-day school year.
“Many states and school districts are finding it increasingly difficult to implement performance pay programs. Mounting budgetary constraints and research that has shown that these programs have little or no impact on student performance.” (Blazer & MDCPS, 2011) No teacher will take less pay and work just as hard or harder to educate students. Teachers will flock to higher performing schools to get paid. I viewed it as the school system might as well open “Gladiatorial Games” outside achieving and over achieving schools. I have witnessed 20-year teachers either leaving the same school they have been at for years to go to a new achieving schools or retiring to avoid dealing with the Merit pay system.
They explained that they would like a 7 and a half hour day, will be teaching time, 5 and a half of which would be teaching time, 1 hour would be “prep” time, and 1 hour would be “duty-free” time. We countered their initial offer with our initial offer of 8 hours and 45 minutes, 8 hours and 20 minutes of teaching, and 25 minutes of duty free time. The Teachers Association said they just could not accept this offer because they were already overloaded with the amount of work they have to get done in such a short amount of time. The Board then offered an 8 and a half hour day, with 8 hours and 5 minutes of teaching and 25 minutes of duty-free time. After realizing that our bracket offers were becoming smaller and smaller the Teachers’ Association agreed to our offer of 8 and a half hour work day.
Studies have shown that if two thousand students sign up for the fall semester at the end of the fall semester there is one thousand nine hundred and ninety students left. There is a 99% chance that if you sign up for the fall classes that you will still be in them at the end of the semester. The ten students that dropped out of classes most likely dropped out because of financial reasons, medical reasons, or they weren’t doing their duties as a student to be on class on time and study for tests, not because of the opposite gender. The opposite sex should not be affecting the retention rates. Students are not missing class to go scope out the opposite sex and to spend all day with them not attending any of their classes.
