In addition to what Lang Wood believes, Stephens claims, students who are taking the test suffer from stress in result of worrying about passing it. Stephens points out “negative results more often than not yield low-self-esteem, higher incidents of seclusion and lower academic progress. Children who pass the test are just happy to be done with it and really do not gain sense of achievement” (par.4). It is clear that the pressure and anxiety
Through our program, we had to have several “workshops” with the guardians each year. It was always hard to try to teach a grown person set in their ways that yelling at their child, was not the correct way of discipline. When working in today’s public school systems, often times, actions get scrutinized too much. Telling a child that you love them might cause someone to raise their brow. Children need praise and love.
I also believe that taking things away from them is a great way of showing them that they must do what they are told. It works better then spanking them half of the time. They do not want their favorite toy or game console taken away because they would be lost without it. Would you want to be hit for everything you did wrong? Of course not, sit down with your child and come up with a game plan for when they misbehave what will happen, make it known so when it is time to take action they will not be surprised.
As you can see, the system needs to change because its not helping some women at all, its hurting them. Furthermore, I believe that some children are better off with there fathers. When non-custodial fathers are highly involved with their children’s learning, the children are more likely to get A's at all grade levels (2007 National Center for Education Statistics). Some mothers are to busy doing meaningless things, and are not worried about the well being of there children. Highly involved fathers also contribute to increased mental dexterity in children, increased empathy, less stereotyped sex role beliefs and greater self- control (Abramovitch, H. 1997.
NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.
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.
In many cases of so-called "bad behavior", the child is simply responding in the only way he can, given his age and experience, to neglect of basic needs. Among these needs are: proper sleep and nutrition, treatment of hidden allergy, fresh air, exercise, and sufficient freedom to explore the world around him. But his greatest need is for his parents' undivided attention. In these busy times, few children receive sufficient time and attention from their parents, who are often too distracted by their own problems and worries to treat their children with patience and empathy. It is surely wrong and unfair to punish a child for responding in a natural way to having important needs neglected.
It also helped me grow as a person it taught me how to be more responsible and how to take control of a situation. I mean let me tell you in the beginning it was the hardest thing to get them to listen to me because they looked at me as another student not as there teacher. They never respected me and were always acting out of line. I slowly got better though they began to get use to me and the fact that they had to listen to me and I also began to listen to them instead of getting made I tried to listen. By the end of the year we had all gotten use to the situation and were sad to see the school year
“The only real failure in life is one not learned from.” - Anthony J. D'Angelo Learning, for me, has come through many forms throughout my life. As most people from my generation who are familiar with the term, “School of Hard Knocks,” my most significant learning experiences came from my failures. Many of these unique learning opportunities were derived from making many bad decisions throughout the early part of my life. I made mistakes with my parents, who were always there for me, and even made a lot mistakes with the legal system; which resulted in a domino effect of problems concerning Child Protective Services.
