Mr. Lukianoff cites several examples of students’ rights being violated at colleges across the country including time when students were forbidden from putting up their political views in the form of a poster on their door and a free-speech zone which included a whole 0.1 percent of the University of Cincinnati. Mr. Lukianoff also mentions counterarguments such as pointing out that the speech codes are, “intended to enforce civility” but Mr. Lukianoff undercuts this argument by telling of how the speech codes “often backfire, suppressing free expression”. Mr. Lukianoff also calls upon the expertice of another person, namely Harry R. Lewis, a former dean of Harvard College who said on the subject of Harvard College’s oath that incoming freshmen were pressured to sign, that is was “unwise, and sets a terrible precedent”. Mr. Lukianoff’s argument clearly has a sufficient plethora of logos.
This made him feel accepted and he made new friends. In “Shame,” the boy goes through a bad experience. He was placed in the “idiot” desk located at the back of the classroom.

Myah Clark Professor Collier English112.SMRT 2 21 November 2014 Essay #2 Public Schooling: Draining Students of their Freedom and Creativity In John Taylor Gatto’s “Against School”, he explains how he thinks public education cripples our kids and why.

On the other side of the spectrum the teachers are just as bored because they feel the students are rude and only interested in the grades. He then continues on to say that we shouldn’t blame the teachers or the students; in this case, we should blame ourselves.
By saying this it forces Mr Birling to speak to him and start the conversation. Mr Birling answers by trying to take charge of the situation he does this by at first asking the inspector to sit down and then he starts to try and avoid the subject of why the inspector is actually he says I was lord mayor two years ago and I’m still on the bench he says this almost as a warning and is trying to get the inspector to back off. This causes the other characters in the room to feel uneasy which creates a tense atmosphere, Gerald immediately starts to agree with everything his soon to be father in law says whereas Eric is much more blunt. The inspector puzzles the readers by letting Mr Birling rant on and then acting as though all of Mr Birling’s life achievements are worth nothing. At this point we still don’t know why he is here, but he creates the impression that everyone present is

Final exams are a time of stress for students to worry about if they can recall all the lessons that their professors have went over within that semester. Students who are scarcely passing any of their classes need their final exams to be passing grades, so they tend to study a little harder. Finals also allow students to see how all the lessons they have learned connect through small facts. Identifying and understanding thoroughly everything the professor particularly emphasizes in class can be a hard and tough experience when preparing to study for finals. In Joy Alonso’s “Two Cheers for Examination “she uses examinations to examine the purposes and useless of exams in two and four year colleges to appear to students and teachers.
Colleges all over the US have decided to raise the amount of standardized tests that are required to be considered to be accepted into their college.

Throughout my essay I will be explaining how Mr Cairney abuses the power that he has and how he demonstrates it to us. In the opening of the short story ‘Dear Mr Cairney’ what interested me most was the fact that he was a bully. In the text the past pupil mentions that he could tell Mr Cairney did not like him.
