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
Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
NCLB was established so that students were not held back in a grade and were promoted to the next grade. I think this is a political aspect that is failing our students. If a student is not understanding the material or doesn’t pass the tests showing that they understand and can retain the information, I don’t believe that they should be promoted. I believe that it only hurts the students because they get more behind as they advance through the levels. The ethical issues that regard the high stakes testing is that it could be unfair to some students.
Lac is it good or the bad students. Many students would agree that it is bad for the student because it teaches them that when they grow up they should be unfair and unreasonable. They will do the same thing to other teens once they are adults, and adults and teens will forever be unhappy with each other. This would also make students lack intelligence because all that time they would be in LAC they could be learning their subject. It will also cause stress for the students because they will have a hard time learning there subject.
“Bullying is a big problem that effects millions of students, and it has everyone worried, not just the kids on it’s receiving end” (Lyness 1). Bullying does not just affect kids, but the parents too. It affects the parents because a lot of their children begin to be afraid attending school. In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda was affected by being bullied lead her to think about suicide, scared of coming to school, and victims like Melinda begin to not care about school and fail. Melinda was affected by being bullied and led to many things and one of them is thinking about suicide.
A student’s mindset comes from negative labeling from parents or teachers, or stereotypes based on race and class. Even though students get fixed mindsets from many ways, parents will be a major factor, parents always gives their children negative labeling which causes them to have peer pressure. In the nonfictional article, “The Case of the Purloined Paper”, written by Brigid Schulte, she
So with that being said, many students could feel uncomfortable hearing it at school. Also, if the class isn’t really a diverse classroom, that could make it even harder. Students won’t feel that it’s appropriate to speak up about being uncomfortable with the language or word choice, especially when the other students don’t seem to mind. The last thing a student wants is to be the odd guy out. The word is blatantly attached to racism, and that makes it a hard case to argue.
This is a significant moment in their development as they moved into adolescence and then adulthood with the physical, psychological and emotional changes it brings, and each child deals with it differently. Some see it as positive change and a sign they are maturing, some see it differently and feel odd and different from their peers. Those that struggle to manage the change may lose focus and be affected with poor academic performance. They may withdraw from peer groups or physical activities for fear of being teased and bullied and will feel uncomfortable about getting changed in front of peer groups. Children often fail to communicate for fear of drawing attention to
They are often viewed as deviants from the “regular” students, outsiders who are not productive members of the learning community. This persistent problem of increasing numbers of students who are not succeeding in the classrooms must be attacked because youth who fall on the margins are as deserving as those who thrive in the mainstream. What is wrong with the following statements? “LaMar is such a social and active child; if only he would calm down, talk less, and stay out of trouble, he would be a good student. He might be able to be a leader if only he would conform.” “Mai Lee is one of my brightest students, but she has priorities other than school.
Emotional bullying is when people gang up on another, spreading rumors, ignoring people, harassment, etc. It causes long term side effects like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Emotional bullying is common in high school because it’s the most subdued kind of bullying. Most kids don’t understand that they’re bullying others. I myself can say I didn’t know that I have bullied and have been emotionally bullied.
