One reason a student should receive extra credit to pass, is that they have trouble with that one specific subject. If you don’t understand something it’s hard to get it right on a test. Many tutoring services arn’t free, and some families don’t have the extra cash laying around. Some students after seeing there failing grade just completely give up. Teachers should give them extra credit they can still have a chance at passing the class.
At the time that Eva had to departure for England, she had a sense of what was going on around her however she never really understood the bigger picture, the main reason why she was being sent away. Eva questions her mother about why Karla and Heinrich aren’t being sent away too. Helga tries to explain to Eva why any “good parent” would send their children away if there was a place that would take them in; they want to protect their children. Eva asks Helga :”Cant you and Vati protect me?’ Helga answers, ”Only by sending you away” (6). Eva is perplexed about the whole situation; how is she safe with complete strangers?
Our “Mother Tongue” is what gives us identity; it defines who we are, and therefore, people should value their native languages. The effect of western education on the relationship between parents and children is also another theme in the article. The initial bad relationship between Tan and her mother is caused by Tan’s feeling that that her mother is uncivilized and uneducated. This problem is common in the present world where once children have attained western education, they start disrespecting their parents or disassociating with them because they feel ashamed of the parents’ mother tongue influenced English. It is important that people learn to appreciate their parents irrespective of their level of education or their cultural background; after all, we owe our lives to
She is taught only how to speak English. Her inability is a result of her parent’s decision to speak only English in the home with the purpose of making sure that their children would be fully immersed in American culture, which would provide them with a better chance to be successful (p. 57). She describes how Americans during that time were not culturally liberal and contemplated foreigners who came to the country to “drop their cultural baggage at the borderline and erase any lingering ethnic traits” (p. 58). As she grows older, she begins to feel "different" or better yet, not even worthy of calling herself a "Latina" because she cannot speak the Spanish language. She had become frustrated and did not know where she belonged in society.
The part of the class would be neutral with my thesis is ones who currently renting textbooks instead of buying them. They would be happy and comfortable with the savings they receive from textbook rentals. Since they already know about the textbook rentals, what I say to them might not significantly be persuasive. My speech might just provide some more information to them and somehow convince them to know that they could do more than savings money from textbook rentals. 4.
In other words when Tan spoke with proper English she was treated differently opposed to how her mother was treated for speaking her limited English. So what I’m trying to say is sometimes people that speak different languages don’t always get the proper service that they should because of Linguistic Terrorism. I’ve found an example of Linguistic Terrorism online: A recent case in which a Hispanic man lost custody of his only daughter because he tried to teach her Spanish against the wishes of his Anglo wife. He lost the case- not because he was an abusive father, not because he was neglectful, but because he tried to teach his daughter more about her culture and the language of her relatives and ancestors. Where is the freedom of speech there?
If I was confronted with a class full of beginner students I would need to alter my approach to teaching. I would need to lower my expectations of the students to a level that is appropriate to their expected progress. I would use more visual aids than I would normally use in a higher level class to make up for the fact that the students will not have much vocabulary to fall back on. I would slow down the pace of my speech so I don’t lose students. I would also try hard to not allow the students to speak in their mother tongue as this is counter-productive to learning a new language.
Extending the school day may do more harm than good. Secondly, a major reason why the school day should not be extended two hours for students to get help on their homework is simply because of the fact that they do not all need it. Many kids like to work at their own pace and should have the option of getting help or not. Kids that need help go to after school tutorial, but the school should not enforce that all students must stay longer. Another reason to support this idea is because students do not always need two hours to do their homework.
However, if students have the right reason to drop out of school due to their personality and personal interest, family issues, or they have own business, they should be able to decide their future since talent is not based solely on academics. Personality and personal interest are a crucial factor for student to drop out. Because of the family environment or personal disability, a student may not understand the way the teacher teaches. The student may grow with negative attitude to teacher and course, which prevents the student to absorb knowledge. Students prefer to learn by themselves.
Also, bursting out into tears during her follow-up interview and leaving rather than soliciting feedback as to why she did not receive the promotion was a clear lack of her own emotional management. Having the ability to manage her staff’s emotions was clearly not evident in Diana’s social awareness track record. Had she been more cognizant to her staff’s wants/needs/feelings she would have fostered a stronger team working environment with less turnover and stronger unity. Her handling of the 3 employee’s who decided to take it upon themselves to try and improve customer service through
