If you don’t do the work, how do you expect to get good grades? Study at least 30 minutes a day, and twice on the subject you’re having a hard time in. Repeating a grade is one of the most embarrassing things in high school. Taking the same class you took previously, but with younger students. Of course you’re going to get teased, picked on, and called stupid.
Like a normal human being the student started to panic. So at the end of class he politely asked for extra credit, and the teacher in return said, no. Although in college you don’t receive extra credit he deserves some extra credit to make up for the mistakes the teacher had made. Another reason why teachers should acquire failing students with extra credit is that perhaps the students may of missed many days of school prior to being sick or injured. However, if your a student that misses a day of school, you should get the make up work and you should catch up to the rest of the class on your own.
Summary of Against School by John Taylor Gatto Most kids today cringe at the fact that they have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to school. They grunt and complain about having to complete six classes a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year, and twelve years of school. In the article “Against School”, John Taylor Gatto explains how he thinks public education cripples our kids and why. His first main point is that both the students and teachers are suffering from boredom. The kids seemed to be bored because they think that the work is stupid or that they are already aware of how to do it.
Lilly is the worst student Mr. Mali has ever seen addicted to use the word like. The situation gets really bad when the entire eighth grade began to call her Like Lilly Like Wilson Like. This continued until Mr. Mali made his classroom a Like-Free Zone. Lilly could not talk for days and when she did, she told Mr. Mali that it is so difficult and now she has to think before she says anything. Also, Mr. Mali told Lilly it’s for her own good even if she does not like it.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
Teachers have been getting replaced left and right because of their inability to control the students in the classroom. Many parents are removing their children out of Augusta Schools in order for them to have a better chance of being successful. Also because Augusta is a failing school, teachers fresh out of college come teach at the school for a minimum of two years. After their two years are up most teachers would leave to go teach at a school of their choosing. On the other hand, replacing these teachers maybe was a good move made by the State Department.
In the fall of 2006, I started my first year of college at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Within my first few weeks there I hated it; not because I was homesick, but because the work was too hard. The social life was great but behind closed doors I struggled with bio-chemistry and my professor was not making it easy, especially since he failed all 6 African American students in the class. Once that happened I decided to have a conference with him to see where I went wrong. He responded by saying, “I was never fond of black people, and helping you was is the question”.
Looking back on my life, I have face challenges and paid consequences for my action. For example, the challenge that I had was I missed a lot of school days because I was often sick and sometimes I skipped classes, so when I backed to school I had to go to my every classes and make up all my missed work to catch up to my classes. Even though I did all my missing work sometimes it came up short to pass my course. When the work that I need to do is a test or exam it gives me a hard time to answer every question because of I did not come to my classes to understand the lessons that I was supposed to be learning. The consequences that I paid for my actions was I earned low grades for my classes because of not going to school everyday
Online classes required self determination and a lot time. This is definitely not what I had in mind! Procrastination and grades don’t mix well and the outcome has many consequences. Happiness is hard to achieve when you are always in a rush to finish a task that was supposed to be done weeks or even months before hand. For example I waited all summer to sign up for fall classes and as a result I got stuck with most classes that other students didn’t want to take.
I believe it really is a problem. Athletes’ parents should be concerned about this because a sport could be the reason they are in college, but it could also be the reason they are kicked out of college. A long day of classes piled on with practices really takes a toll on a student. I had to be at the weight room at 7:30 in the morning and get out at 8:00. I then headed off to my classes for the day.
