Parents who are sports aggressive really need to get their act together, as their behaviours are seen outrageous to others and their seen as ‘arses’ which is demonstrated in the photo accompanying the newsletter. Sam really pushes that Parents are teaching their children very bad qualities, ‘isn’t good sportsmanship a model of life?’ maybe it isn’t to sports aggressive parents. It’s time for all parents to remember that children learn from you. Sam illustrates that best coaches and parents encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun and to concentrate on helping the team while at the same time polishing their own skills. Once again ‘what sort of parent are you’.
Students need structure. Structure in the classroom will cause self motivation in students. Also, students don't like being held accountable for their actions. Having to talk to students about why they didn't finish their assignments will motivate them to do their work. Most students try to avoid being lectured or get in trouble for something they can avoid.
The teachers also should have stepped in when they saw the fight happening and not just stood there. It teaches us students that we should stand up for kids, and teachers are not always the good person in the situation and there could be favoring. In conclusion, I think that The Chocolate War was a very good book that taught very interesting lessons. It always makes me think twice but saying, “no” to something that I should do. I think the lesson here is to just plain out respect everyone and you will not have any problems.
The Depression started with the market crash of 1929. Unemployment was on a rise, businesses were failing. The reason of that is because the stock market was doing badly, there were overproduction and a crash which is stock prices go down. Many people lost their jobs and those that were still working had to take major pay cuts, and people who were trying to get a job couldn't because the employees couldn't pay them.
Tom is criticizing the fact that he is not allowed to smoke under Widow Douglas but she herself is. Twain is attacking a problem in our society that exists today. Twain’s thoughts on the “snuff” are irrelevant, but his thoughts on an elder disapproving of something and then doing it themselves are strong. Parents know what is right and wrong. It is their job to make sure they’re kid is under good influence.
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
Most bought their stocks on margin which means they still owe money. When the stock market crashed, the value of their stocks went down but they still had to pay every penny that they owed before even though the value went down. Many people panicked and tried to all sell their stocks at the same time which brought the prices and values down even more. The Great Depression had a huge effect on businesses because it they lost their fortune and many went bankrupt. They were forced to lay off all of their workers and close down.
Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
The parents usually do not socialize with other parents because they usually receive negative comments towards their child. Parents who anti-socialize usually channel that aggression to their spouse which results in violent arguments. Schools as well as teachers are also responsible on placing kids with ADHD in an environment where they can perform their best. This is not to segregate the children but to place them in an environment where they can learn their best. Also, if the child does not perform at his/her best, it greatly reduces the self-esteem not only of the child but the parents as well.
Flunking students can be used as a positive tool by our education system. The consequence of flunking and holding students back alone can be used to motivate and encourage students to put full effort into class work. Most students fear flunking only because they’re afraid of what friends, peers and society will say or think about them; this is all wrong, the real fear should be failing and not being
