Someday, I didn’t even wanted to go to school because my teachers used to use a strong punishment for students who come to class and they’re not prepared. The most difficult part was for me was pronunciation since my major was “English” and we usually don’t practice English in my country except for “ doctors” and “engineering” I had many words that couldn’t even read neither pronounce it. I think that our minds must be area or gap for choice about how to think in order to understand things well as Ho thoughtful about children’s mind in the article 2. Which of Ho’s ideas
Against School by John Taylor Gatto In his essay Against School, Gatto argues against the school system. He claims that the twelve year schooling program may, in fact, be pointless. He conveys his attitude toward the subject by utilizing words such as boredom, dangerous, dumbed-down—and in the context of a school—trap, warehouse, and wringer. Gatto uses straightforward logic, and argues his case by pointing out a plethora of well-educated people that stand out in history, and yet did not go through the “twelve year wringer.” Presenting himself with certainty, readers are compelled to agree with Gatto on the matter. We blindly accept that we must go through a twelve year schooling program, but Gatto asks us why this is necessary.
Roxana Useda ENC 1101 Professor Cash November 30, 2012 Why Trust the FCAT? Have you ever felt when taking the FCAT you are wasting your time? Over the years students have been required to take a test that will evaluate them on how well they do. The FCAT is given to obtain an insight on how much students are learning on three main subjects, science, reading, and math every year. Despite the benefits teachers and schools obtain, standardized testing like the FCAT is not effective in evaluating student’s performance because not all students learn at the same level, they fall under pressure, and they are being taught just for the test which prevents from learning skills that are yet to be learned.
Pet Peeve Speech In school the idea that we all learn differently and in our own ways is stressed to us from kindergarten right up to your senior year. I don't disagree with that at all, in fact I feel deeply that we all do in fact learn in ways unique to us. The teachers and staff here at Iron Mountain High School do a fantastic job of catering to the needs of individuals who have troubles grasping concepts or just can't seem to understand something the first time it's explained to them. Once again I'm fine with that, but not everyone needs that much help. Not everyone wants that much help!
But at the same time it’s really not fair to compare their performance with your English speaking students. So there is a must need for standard based instruction that pertains to the needs of just ELLs. If we try to hold them to the standards of native English speaking students this could actually hurt their self esteem since they probably would never reach the same goals on the same level. Also it could lead to an ELL being missed diagnosed with a learning disability (LD). This is why there have been some efforts to develop English Language Development (ELD) standards.
Evidently, Anjelica is an English Language Learner (ELL) with no English. Was an assessment done? Since teachers are directly involved in the ongoing monitoring of Anjelica’s performance, they need to have a sense of her starting point for both language proficiency (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and academic achievement in order to document her progress over time. Standardized tests or even teacher-created tests can’t always measure ELLs progress accurately or authentically. Was the Standford Binet test given to identify if Anjelica required special education services?
Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.
The Lord works in our faithfulness and our actions. In the seventh chapter Muller shifts the topic of conversation to contextualization. As messengers in a foreign culture would the story that we grew up learning be the same story that kids growing up in the Arab world learned? Most likely not, our whole world is filled with differences in culture so how do we share the Gospel without changing it? That is where there is much debate on the idea of contextualization and if we, as messengers should do it or not.
Teachers frequently feel that they should have been trained more than they have been. to administer subject information teaching because educators cannot tell if the pupil is struggling in reading comprehension knowledge understanding, deficiency of guidance and instruction on the educators, or probably if it was due to some degree of English language skills. Sorry to say, the reason for this suffering is due to improper interpretations and ELL students not being taught the proper education
Common Core State Standards ENG 103 English Composition II Professor Nikkele Shelton October 5, 2014 Common core state standards are a set of uniform expectations for American students in English language arts and mathematics that many feel are not in the best interest the teachers and students.
