Sometimes their heads aren’t in the right place, only thinking about partying or just overworking themselves and stressing over an overload of work. Basically students don’t reach their full potential in most cases. Motivation or ambition is the key to a student successfully graduating or it also could be their downfall. The select few students, who have ambition to do well in school would take advantage of all the resources the school would be providing. Such as, tutoring, getting books from the library, and seeing professors for extra help or one on one time.
If a student don’t want to learn on a particular day, he/she wont learn even if you're using technology or pen and paper. But, with technology, it is a new way of grabbing a student’s attention. In this new millennium, technology is a fast approach to the learning scheme. Students can blog, post work online, and research information online without relying on that one source. THE TEACHER.
Since so much of what we use in everyday life involves technology, it is only fair to introduce our youth to it and get them accustomed to using it frequently. People never send handwritten letters anymore, that’s partially why companies like the USPS was considering reducing the amount of days they deliver. Majority of people are using email, social networking and phones to communicate. Not only is it easier, but more efficient and allows us complete more tasks since “everything is happening much faster, and more things are happening” (Source C). Not only will it help students in the future, it’ll also make learning more compelling, after all students do prefer “glitz and pictures” and “video and stylish packaging” (Source E).
Florence Foster Instructor David English 102 11 January 2011 I have chosen to write about Brent Staples “What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow up in Cyberspace.” Staples argue that “so called online communities isolate adolescents and hinder their social development” (241). Which I believe to be true, but the world as we know it, is becoming very advanced to technology. So that would basically leave adolescents with two decisions, either they have to jump on board with technology, or be left behind. Which would you prefer? Social interactive technologies, such as instant messaging and texting messaging are beginning to redefine the social networks of today’s youth.
I mainly pushed them off because elementary teachers always wanted some kind of colorful and creative diorama or drawing. Even though I found this fairly simple, I just didn’t enjoy the trivial coloring or gluing. I would put these off so much that I would even have to ask my dad to come help me finish just so I could get to bed on time. However as I grew older I began to enjoy schoolwork more. It was becoming more complex, especially in math.
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.
This is particularly important for kids who are home alone for a few hours every day after school, as school sponsored activities will help children to stay occupied and will keep their minds actively engaged. If your kids are old enough to work for a few hours after school each day, encourage them to get a job. This will not only keep them busy and prevent them from feeling bored, it will also take up a pretty healthy amount of time which they might otherwise spend mindlessly hanging out with their friends or getting involved in something that you would prefer they
Students can experience a more beneficial learning environment by having a longer school day. High schoolers in particular should always be learning and wanting to approach more opportunities. Also, having a better learning experience means having no stress from being really tired. When you are stressed, it can make you distracted and unfocused on your studies. If kids miss a day it will result in missing out on learning new things and they would need to make work up.
The stress and lack of time to complete each assignments has definitely affected the quality of my work. The lack of quality has shown in my Narration essay. Knowing the quality of work has suffered due to my procrastination has added additional unnecessary stress. Most of the stress of attending college can be avoided by simply not procrastinating. The second effect my procrastination is having disappointed instructors.
for our younger generation is bad for their learning habits because it distracts children from homework for school. Children should be focusing on their homework or school instead of wasting their day in front of the T.V. I remember being almost addicted to T.V. as a young boy and as punishment for not doing my homework I wouldn’t be able to watch T.V. I remember how I was so fascinated by all the light and pictures moving on the screen catching my attention every moment.
