The odd words, the old words, the rare ones. When they're gone out of his head, these words, they'll be gone, everywhere, forever. As if they had never been. (Atwood, 68) Analysis/Explanation This quote not only identifies Snowman’s first stage as an isolated person but it outlines the importance of words to humanity. Because Snowman has no humans to interact with, he starts to forget words and their meanings.
I had an answer, but I struggled terribly with putting it down on paper because I wanted this interview to “be perfect”. I was too worried about what I looked like or sounded like, so ultimately I had lost “my voice.” I went to my dad for more help. I had wasted a whole hour stressing over how to answer a few questions about myself. My dad told me something very important that day, he said, “The best way to impress someone is to be you”. After meditating on what he said to me I had at least something to put down.
As well did I when I first read Gatto's piece against school. But after reanalyzing this article I was able to pick it apart. By going to school you are able to learn and improve the skills you need for future commissions. But Gatto refuses to believe in the public school educational system. Gatto says that school diminishes creativity; if anything kids discover their hidden creativeness in class while at school.
Then in an attempt to disguise the problem they are more likely to misbehave and disrupt the class. Eventually they leave school uneducated and struggle into adulthood. Therefore it is essential that teaching staff are able to recognise and respond to children that are showing signs of possible dyslexia as soon as possible. 'All the research shows that early diagnosis and support can help compensate children who are dyslexic, meaning they're not affected to such an extent,’ (Katrina
Children may find change very difficult which is why it is important to know the different types of transition. Normal stages of transitions are changes that all children will face, such as; moving class or school, primary to secondary. Less common transitions are personal to the child which other children may not face, such as; family break ups, severe illness or bereavement. The normal stages of transition are predictable as they have a set date but the less common transition are unpredictable as they are sudden. This means that children moving from primary to secondary school have plenty of time to prepare for this change but bereavement leaves no time, just a hole that affects all areas of their lives.
The disgraceful thing about this situation is that coordinators of these institutions aren’t even educating these children, so that when they are done serving their time they can do something productive. So now the state has to pay to keep them detained and educate them when they are done serving time. By the time they get out they aren’t going to go back to school because they’ll most likely be behind a grade level or two. They don’t want to be ostracized in a class room full of 11 year old children and if they’re 14. Now the only choice they have is to be picked on or go back to doing the same thing that landed them in jail because they don’t even have an elementary or high school
Gatto is saying that schooling is made for kids to adapt to; it has adaptive qualities, therefore there is a chance for everyone to succeed if they really want to, but it takes away from any individual thinking. Conforming is another evil of school because it makes us forced to learn things we really have no interest in and as Gatto states “its intention is to make children as alike as possible”(153). A lot of students use this excuse while they are in high school “when am I ever going to use this again in life” ill be honest I have said it before but I don't necessarily agree with these students because you need to build a base education before you figure out what you want your schooling to focus on. Kids change their minds everyday, I realized that I’m not quite sure I want to be an art major anymore, even being in the first couple of classes I knew it wasn’t for me
The pressure to grip the next set of information can be overwhelming, especially to those who struggled to interpret the lessons prior to. As others get the hold of things, inadequate students are prone to feel a sense of defeat thus leaving them no choice but to give up. From there, the student’s attitude towards school can possibly become problematic; the student is more likely to be disconnected or foolish during class. Eventually, their priority centers around attendance rather than learning the curriculum. As these students get promoted from one grade to the other, their class performance just gets weaker by the year.
The person who does procrastination could be in court catastrophe, and they will need someone to bail them out from the consequences of being procrastinator. Procrastination do not even get around to changing their attitude after the worst happened and procrastination can lead you to grave result. For example, student are often get task from their teacher and they have a daily assignment due the next day or they have a big test to study for or even a giant project. They often put off the assignment. Many reasons why they do procrastinating.
In most states, we are required to attend school until the age of 16 or 17. There are many reasons for schooling; first is schooling can simply give young people basic knowledge that are required in our life. Younger children, mostly coming from broken homes, do not understand the importance of an education. Their parents often do not care to explain the weight of a decision to quit school at an early age and if they drop out of school in an early age, or never go in the first place, it will never be explained to them and they will not
