Every fay I come home from school and head into my room. I think about doing some work, but then I remember I wanted to beat a level in a video game so I don't do my homework. I am doing poorly in ELA because I procrastinate. Sometimes I won't pay any attention in class. I don't look at grade portal or pay enough attention to see the homework assignments.
Some people deserve a second chance, but it shouldn’t be given to someone that doesn’t show effort towards school. If someone is failing a class you can’t always blame the student. You have to put in perspective that the teacher could be bad at teaching,or perhaps the student missed a lot of class due to being sick,or maybe the class is just too hard. So however, handing out extra credit could be tolerable to the students that show effort, and not to the students who mess around in class. One reason a student should receive extra credit to pass, is that they have trouble with that one specific subject.
This is why teaching financial literacy in high school will benefit the students later in their life. Secondly, the people who lack the financial literacy skills do not tend to save or plan for their future retirement. This is because they do not know how to make a financial plan, so they cannot plan their retirement and they have to depend on government pension because they are not self-reliant. Because of the lack of knowledge they do not save money and even if they save they do not know how to invest the money wisely. So
Studies show that students who are over-age for their class was held back a grade level. Not completing assignments, late work, or just missing class led up to being held back a grade. Over-age students seem to need more help in the classroom, than the regular students. Adolescents pick many excuses to drop out of school. Being bored and frustrated with class, many teens say school is irrelevant to
Devin Dufrene Essay 4 April 14, 2009 Failure Failure! Some students are afraid of it, Then again some students are given grades and passed anyway. Students should not be given grades and diplomas if they did not learn the necessary information and earn the grade. In this essay I will respond on how I agree with Mary Sherry in “In Praise of the F Word “on how students are hurt later in life First, if student doesn’t learn necessary information in high school he or she will not be able or having a lot off trouble in the after life with college or there new job. In example, if a student gets by in his English class not caring and not trying to learn, but his teacher likes the student so he passed him, when that student goes to college he will have trouble because he doesn’t know how to write a correct essay because he was given the grade.
High school dropouts have fewer opportunities in life because of their lack of education. While we are occupied on our potential threat being the gun in the class room, we miss the opportunity to learn what our teacher had planned for the day. Missing enough of the lectures leads to low test scores and the though of dropping out. Dropouts will have fewer chances at being accepted into college universities. Universities favor grade point averages, high standardized test scores, advanced placement courses, and any other reflection of above average education.
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.
Passing a standardized test is a skill that can be taught, but does not truly measure what a student has learned in the classroom; therefore standardized tests should not be used as a tool to measure students knowledge because students have more to offer than just filling in bubbles. Standardized tests don’t provide information that is useful in the future, resulting in students losing interest in learning because its not fun. The average student does not enjoy being cooped up in classroom for four hours filling in bubbles. This is when students think that the school is a reflection of standardized tests and they no longer want to learn. The information used in standardized tests has no importance in the real world.
If the bad boy who becomes a good boy ever gets into an argument with his girlfriend, she would be more likely to forgive him for what he has done, though he was a jerk before and apologized, because he was once bad, and now he is good, people respond to that easier than someone who you are always. Just like if I always was late to a class and I also never turning in my homework, I would get into trouble for sure, but on the contrary I were always on time to a class and I always turned in my homework and one day I started not turning in my homework ontime but i was on time to my class, I would most likely get away with it on the first few times due to my constant good behavior in class, but evetually the teacher wouldn't accept the assginment anymore because I would be expected to know better. Now combined, if I was known to be the kid thats always late and never bringing my homework to class, and one day I started to actually do my homework and brought them to class, but was late to turn it in on time, the teacher may let me slip and turn it in because he or she sees
College promotes binge drinking, irresponsible behavior and slipping in school work. Not every student will become a binge drinker students just have a greater chance of becoming one. If students spend more time at work and school and time on homework they will be less likely to drink since they will have less time to drink. Some students just don’t like the taste of alcohol in any form it comes in so that helps. Also when students drink less than four or five drinks in a period of two weeks they are not considered a binge drinker.
