“A Minnesota teacher of seventh and ninth grades says that she has to spend extra time in class editing papers and must 'explicitly' remind her students that is is not acceptable to use text slang and abbreviations in writing” (Cullington 89). Also, “many complain that because texting does not stress the importance of punctuation, students are neglecting it in their formal writing” (Cullington 89). These points are valid, but the evidence is limited because it is based on a few personal experiences, rather then a large study with much more research.
First of all, he is lazy and doesn’t do any school work. This is shown in the scene when Tom is talking to the principal about why Russell Beckman is failing his history class, and Tom explains, “He hasn’t done the work he’s supposed to” (19). This shows that Russell doesn’t do the assigned work and does whatever he wants to do. Also, Russell has been known to be very violent throughout the novel. Haruf Illustrates a violent scene when Russell said something offensive to Victoria, and Tom pulls him out of class to talk to him about it.
Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
However, one of the most important ways to learn is to read by yourself. Online classes or home schools require vast amount of self reading time. In some of our classes, we also need to read the textbook to understand. So, Plato 's quote is inappropriate to describe college learning B) Summary At the night of graduation, the author is tired of the endless speech. She only offers a single sentence from Plato--" In these conversation, sometimes a spark is kindled which henceforth nourishes itself."
I tried to keep focus but my solitude was starting to become unbearable. Yes there were many students around but they all seemed to have their own network since they knew their classmates from their previous schools while all of my friends were in regular ed classes. I started to rebel and slacked off so much that teachers began to wonder why i was in a advanced class since they thought i couldn't hack their work load when in reality all i wanted to do was be placed in regular ed just to be with my friends. Odd and dumb reason, i know but I didn't know that at the time. Eventually I was moved from classes due to my insubordination and i was content at the time.
After Mandrell was burdened with the complaints of her class, she went home to meditate on the day’s new found conclusion: the students thought her class was a nightmare. With this thought in mind different questions ran through her mind. How would she meet everyone’s needs? How could she lighten what the students thought to be such a heavy burden? According to Mandrell, teachers know how to meet the student’s needs,
Her doctor breaks the news to her without the least humane consideration of her emotions just like she used to treat her students. Throughout the play we see lack of empathy both in Vivian’s and through the behavior of the hospital staff. We see a clear example of lack of empathetic behavior when she tells one of her students “You can come to this class prepared or you can excuse yourself from this class, this department and this university. Do not think for a moment that I will tolerate
It becomes clear that Proctor wants her to forget Abigail as he has. He feels she doubts him every minute of the day. Elizabeth says she doesn’t judge him, only the “magistrate sits in your heart” judges him. As they argue, Mary Warren enters. When Proctor grabs her by the wrist, she cries out that she’s sick – the proceedings have worn her out – and she hopes Proctor won’t hurt her.
Mr. Lewiston’s actions (lingering in Mrs. Gilbury’s classroom, sending flowers, repeated requests for lunch dates, letters that profess his feelings and physical contact at Mrs. Gilbury’s car) created a hostile work environment. Mr. Lewiston was informed that his advances were not welcome as Mrs. Gilbury stated “we’re just friends” and “we need to remain just friends” (Bohlander, p. 135). Mrs. Gilbury filed a sexual harassment injunction against Mr. Lewiston however; Mr. Lewiston filed an appeal of the injunction. The appeal process required Mrs. Gilbury to appear for a hearing and if she “failed to appear, the injunction may be vacated, and the petition dismissed” (Bohlander, p. 136). In the position of EEOC officer, I would consider the evidence (letters, statements, and legal injunction) and would recommend the accused employee, Mr. Lewiston, be terminated for creating a hostile work environment for Mrs. Gilbury.
