Today’s students cheat for a variety of reasons. As students get older the pressure to get good grades and the pressure from friend’s increases leading them to cheat. Then some think that cheating is not a big deal or that it is not wrong. Schools and teachers should work together with students to help them feel more secure and to show them that cheating is not acceptable and that they will only be hurting themselves in the long run. Younger children believe that cheating is wrong but that it is acceptable in some instances.
Annan in his essay also admired the transparency in football because he believes that it is missing in the UN. When he writes "This is an event in which everybody knows where their team stands, and what it did to get there." It shows that "he wishes they had more of that sort of competition in the family of nations". He mentioned to the accountability in football and he says "governments being held accountable" to show that it is one of his wishes in the UN. In Annan's opinion, If we are not as united as we should be, that is because it is a reflection of the world we live in and that's why it was so exciting to be in somewhere during the World Cup.
There are some major problems with using them. Students with high I.Q’s are expected to do better than the rest of their class, and on the flip side students with low I.Q.’s are expected to do worse. That is not always fair because students with low I.Q.’s might not get the attention needed simply because their teachers do not expect much from them. In the end there is no fairness to some. This leads to an ethical question of, is giving an intelligence test ethical?
6. Some people believe that sports provides young men in our society with some of the advantages of a rite of passage which are not otherwise available? Do you agree or disagree? BREAKING OUT & FRIENDSHIP 1. How did playing football help the students overcome their prejudices about each other?
You have JT Hawkins and Brady Owens who were his assistant coaches. JT Hawkins was a special team coach that kept the faith and found humor in the trying season that they were having. Brady Owens on the other hands was a friend to Grant but lacked faith because he helped to plot against Grant to try and get him fired. David Childers and Brook Kelley are two of the team members on the Shiloh Christian Academy football team. David
An important reason why I do my work in class is because I want to improve my performance. TRUE 11. If I do poorly on an assignment or a test, it is usually the instructor’s fault. FALSE 12. Effort is more important than natural ability for doing well in school.
Then, it means the teacher treats the pupil accordingly acting as if the predications are already true. The pupils internalise the teacher’s expectations of their self-concept so that they actually become the kind of pupil that the teacher believed them to be when labelling. If the teacher believes that a pupil will fail, they more than likely will fail because they have been labelled to be a ‘failure’. Although, this is not always the case, some people will also be labelled like a failure but they will try and prove the teachers wrong and will try their hardest to pass
NCLB was established so that students were not held back in a grade and were promoted to the next grade. I think this is a political aspect that is failing our students. If a student is not understanding the material or doesn’t pass the tests showing that they understand and can retain the information, I don’t believe that they should be promoted. I believe that it only hurts the students because they get more behind as they advance through the levels. The ethical issues that regard the high stakes testing is that it could be unfair to some students.
On the other hand, if our parents and siblings tell us that grades don’t matter as long as we try our very best, we may not have any problems telling others we failed a test when we studied for hours preparing for it. We feel good about our efforts, and therefore our self-esteem is higher. I believe the second most significant influence on the development of a person’s self-concept and self-esteem is culture. Our culture also determines what we feel is important and what we deem insignificant. We live in a culture
On the other hand, it’s much more objective and accurate to give scores based on the achievements of the student. In fact, this is a more commonly used way of assessing students. It’s because this takes less time and reflects the students’ performance better. Also, colleges and companies prefer a person who works really hard and gets a successful result to a person who does his best but fail in achieving his goal. Thus, grading based on the achievement is better to reflect students’ capacity that companies need.
