He snarled. He dispised the trivialization of higher education…”(Pg.522) His parents lack of understanding caused frustration in Rodriguez at first, but throughout the story, he found himself becoming more and more like them. “I thought as I watched my mother one night… I gestured and laughed like my mother. Another time I saw for myself: my father’s eyes were much like my own, constantly watchful.”(pg531) This realization was a revelation for Rodriguez; all this time throughout his schooling career, he had thought he was so different from his parents, him being an Americanized “scholarship boy” and them being working class immigrants, but he had learned a lot from them, and his realization of their differences, combined with his education is what ultimately drove his
Essentially, his teachers made him a lifelong learner. From that point on, Paul Revere had a well disciplined, curious young mind which helped him always be ready to learn. In fact, he said that his teachers made him "love his books". Sadly, that was the last of his formal schooling. That does not mean that he ever stopped learning (Fischer 9).
Each student to dropout has a certain reason or purpose. Based on beliefs, the top three reasons why students drop out is because they prefer to work, failing of the course, and that they don’t care. To begin with, some students just simply prefer working directly rather than getting an education and in a certain sense " following rules". The fact that students are receiving money for their work, rather than simply a letter grade, intrigues the student worker. In some cases, students need money to help support their family and as a result can falsely give the impression that students have a better future by working, rather than studying.
Jim’s self-concept is, “I just want to go to school and do the best I can and be normal.” Such as hang out, party a little from time to time, basically living his own life not the life of his father’s. Well I totally can relate to Jims father because, we as parents work as extremely hard for our children because we only want what’s best for them, is it right No, most defiantly not it depressed Jim because he feels like he is doing the best he can do, and his father just don’t understand. That it isn’t as easy for him as it was when he was in school. Jim’s father self-concept of Jim is more positive because he sees in Jim what Jim isn’t able to see, he is motivating him to do better than what he is doing. Sections such as motives, Jim’s father motives were to get good grade and be accomplished.
Attribution is especially helpful in attaining the goals in learning because success that is explained by their belief about the learning experience can motivate further learning endeavors, however it can also be detrimental if the learning experience is not what was expected. Goal of Learning The goal of learning in both motivation and attribution is to successfully navigate a learning experience. With attribution, effort plays a part in the goal as it pertains to how the individual perceives the reason learning occurred. Motivation helps to bring them to the place of learning. How one perceives the events and situations around them and within themselves will greatly impact learning.
MANDATORY VOLUNTEERING Although mandatory volunteering seems to be a waste of time for many students, in my opinion, mandatory volunteering is still a good idea. In spite of the fact that volunteering is a personal choice, nowadays, it is a requirement to graduate from school .Many people are against it strongly. However, Firstly, students should study not only about knowledge but also about morality or social behavior. Students of today have good taking skills but extremely poor giving skills. Volunteering is an opportunity for them to explore their life and see the world with a different set of eyes.
When students have questions they should not be afraid to ask the teacher. For instance, some students might think or worry that their questions may sound somewhat silly, and their class will make fun of them. But this only shows that they have a desire to learn, knowledge is acquired by curiosity and it is more important to know than what others may think. Moreover, students should avoid procrastination by completing their homework and projects on time. They have to be proactive and take the initiative to cultivate these skills that will prove to be immensely rewarding later in life.
The expected reaction to his father’s rare appearances would be what the child did in the story. He is too young to understand that his father is an important part of his life also. 2. Larry is not reliable as the narrator of events. He is obviously biased against his father and wants his mother’s sole attention.
The idea of taking children to day-care is unacceptable to a good number of people. They probably believe this because daycare involves putting someone else in the ‘parenting’ picture, someone to spend time with, and care for the child. However, this is not exactly negative. Day-care provides care for little children while their parents attend to other things, such as attending school or working to earn a living. It is important for those people who discourage day care to realize that not all parents can afford to stay at home with their children all day, as much as they would like to.
You are becoming more independent. A fifth reason why some people is fail are they do the work but they don’t understand It and they don’t want to ask for help. Asking for help will even raise you’re grade for participation. And getting the help brings you’re grade up. Choosing not to fail and trying NOT to fail is a big part of you’re life because school gets you where you need/want to go.
