Injustice is basically when somebody has been wronged and when adding collector is when somebody has been wronged many times over their life. Society in my opinion cannot protect themselves against these types of people because we have no way of knowing who they are. For all we know our teachers or best friend could be just like Cho, but we will never know until they lash out. The only possible way would to mandate a law requiring everybody to never wrong anybody in the world, which as we all know could not be
Many of his students said they weren’t interested in what was being taught because it was stupid and they already knew the material. Gatto doesn’t place blame on any one party but places the blame on everyone. With this essay Gatto intends to get the proverbial wheels turning inside the readers mind by giving them a look into his own view of the educational world. He uses a host of examples to support his ideals. First, Gatto refers to a lesson his grandfather taught him at the ripe age of 7; his grandpa declared that if Gatto was bored that it was his fault and no one else’s.
He completely ignored his family to just work obsessively in school, but took absolutely nothing away from it because he was only working to be recognized, not to learn. When Rodriguez was a young elementary school student, he already knew what he wanted to do with his life: surpass his
Schools cannot beat the entertainment industry at its own game. What they have to offer students is the chance for intellectual freedom, the power to think for themselves…(Ravitch 163). In school, students are always taught to have an open-mind, how can they have an open-mind when they are being censored? Schools only offer boring, bland topics and cause students to lose interest. Students are so highly influenced by the media that if they aren’t hearing about violence, death, sex or lies, then they have the “don’t care” mentality.
These authors believe different factors affect the performance of a student, but also agrees on the toll it takes on their whole life. In "the secret to raising smart kids", Dweck explains his theory of how being raised with a certain mindset, effects hoe people perform not only in class, but in life as well. Lines (24-26) explains how being raised with a "fixed" mindset will carry with a person throughout their life. This mindset causes people to believe they only know what they were born knowing and there's no reason to try to learn or attempt anything else (115-117). There is, however, another mindset called "growth".
In the World State no one really grows up because the World State wants everyone to be happy and not experience pain which means no one loses their innocence. To grow up and become wiser, people need to get hurt and learn from
Federal intervention has failed to improve scores in part because the top-down rules that come with aid have squelched local innovation.” This statement is utterly false. For one I don’t think that schools get nearly enough if you look at Fermi High School for instance we have nothing that is up to date including text books computers and on top of it all teachers don’t get paid nearly enough as they should what teachers do each and every day is a passion for teaching not making money. Another reason why I do not like this article is because he uses the test scores as a point to make. In reality test scores are not a way that you can describe someone there are plenty of smart people that just may do badly on tests. The people that would hate a rule change like this one would be teachers and students because many of these politicians don’t see what really is going on is public schools.
I am sorry to say I did not. According to Palmer (2007) “I posses the power to create conditions that can help students learn a great deal or keep them from learning at all.” (p7.) Since I am the one who possess that power to create conditions where all students can learn I have to ask what could I have done differently? Accordingly to the Dalton Sherman did I not believe in my students did I let them down by not doing everything I could to get them ready for college or the workforce? Was I connected to all my students or just the ones that were easier to deal with?
Seriously the unnecessary use of those words to an extensive amount, I could almost guarantee you that there was a swear word on every page. Another point is the sexual content in this book I find is extremely inappropriate for our age group. I may not of had to read it out loud but I was defiantly not fair to the students uncomfortable with it, I can n barley see people kiss without feeling like I’m invading their privacy. So all in all I did not appreciate those scenes and would recommend not be in our reading criteria. This book is actually banned from some schools in the United States.
I think that this is quite beneficial to the student because they know that they only have to be themselves and nothing else. Im Jrotc there is vitually no peer pressure. It lets you make decisions on your own. What it does do is teaches you about what happens when you make certain decisions. This way the cadet could make the choice on there own but know the outcome of it before it happens.Jrotc has a motto young students to become better citizens.
