She does not teach her students like other teachers, but she has her own way to help her students gain more knowledge and some skills in their life. The three most important things in her teaching are letting her students teach each other, encouraging her students to work with others, and letting them know the importance of communication. First, while reading a Corla Hawkins story, I was so impressed with her teaching because she knows what is the most important of teaching method. She is not a teacher who only teaches her students in her class, but also gets students to teach each other. In her sentence, “The most important thing for me is that they teach each other” (33).
Her change in attitude was largely due to her placement in a healthy foster family environment. Nai lived in two foster homes until her final placement with a supportive and loving foster family. At first, it was really difficult for her foster family as they were not sure how to emotionally connect with the quiet and reserved teen. Nai explains that it was just very difficult for them to understand what she was going through. But, her foster parents supported her as much as they could, and encouraged her to become involved in school academics and sports to keep her active and busy.
It was said that one ‘solution’ to the ‘problem’ of inequity was to ‘educate the parents’ (Thomson, P 2002, p. 3) and encourage them to ‘supervise’ their children whilst doing homework. This suggests that with the parent’s encouragement and reinforcement towards the child, they are more likely to want to succeed and feel they have the right to succeed, instead of there being a boundary between the advantaged and disadvantaged children. The parents of both Vicki and Thanh want the best for their children, to graduate and achieve a ‘university’ (Thomson, P 2002, p.2) degree. However Vicki is more likely to succeed because of her parent’s educational background and will be able to provide the support that she needs going through school, whereas Thanh will have to find other sources for educational help because his parents do not have the knowledge that he
She believes everyone probably needs a break in between classes because there is no time to regroup in between class. As a team, La Quandria says we have enjoyed class because our instructor has tried to make learning as fun as possible. Candice understood how to develop equations out of word problems. She grasp the concept of the verbiage used, which
You probably will not answer all these questions, and the paper should not be a string of answers. You will formulate a thesis that responds to one or two or even several of these questions. Your thesis will need to be an argument that can stand alone. " Weakness is the mother of justice " , I actually didn't think about this , till I read it here and I think I agree with it . Some people are just because they don't have enough power to change how people act or change anything around them .
Parks was also very intelligent and had a certain drive to learn as much as she could. She was devoted and loved to read, but seeing as she was a person of color it was hard for her to not only afford to go to school but to be allowed to go to school. She later had to drop out to take care of her family and focus on work, and around this time one of her friends introduced her to an activist named Raymond Parks, who would later be Mrs. Parks’ husband. After spending all of her time studying and learning about society Mrs. Parks wanted to act.
She needs to decide for herself that she will give her best effort at all times to stay out of trouble. She should start simple by hanging out with the right group of friends, learn how to enjoy school, to maybe do fun extra-curricular activities after school, and do her absolute best during school. Then learn to talk things out with her Dad, instead of being mad at him, which is simply a way of respect towards your guardian. I think that is a good way to live life, have fun, and maybe life won’t be so hard. That is my hypothesis of why Jessie and Freddy act the way they do, and my advice to
This means that since everyone was hitting and picking on her she didn’t give up. She actually uses the bullies’ offense as her defense. Its quite unique because this is something you don’t see everyday but her grandmother told her to thank the people who called her names.Its a brilliant idea by her grandmother, yes indeed these words were hurtful, but Melba was clever enough not to show it. Doing this will confuse the bullies to thinking that she doesn’t care what they said or thought of her. I chose this book because i actually read this book long ago when I was younger and I decided to expand on my little prior knowledge of this book “Warriors Don’t Cry”.
Geddes’ essay was effective overall and managed to get the point across. There is a transition throughout the essay, from the start of her childhood to growing up into adulthood. The reader is able to understand the respect that she has for her family and community in the beginning and then the harsh reality of the intolerance for diversity as she goes to school. In the end she does realize that she is good enough to go to post secondary despite what people may have said earlier. Believing in yourself and remembering where you come from builds character and you should not let anyone tell you otherwise.
On the seventh page of the book, Ruby is focused on doing her work in an isolated classroom; Ruby seemed to ignore the fact that she was isolated and fully immersed herself in her textbooks. This makes the reader react with admiration due to the fact that she values education highly to the extent that she does not care about not having friends. Based on these two texts, we can see that the documentary represents education as the only key to a better future, while in the picture book, education is treated as a step to encourage racial equality and a new change to the racially segregated society of America in the 60s. From this, we can see that both texts convey the idea of education in different
