Positivists believe that questionnaires are very reliable and that is the main positive goal. However, interpretivists reject the view of questionnaires as they claim it isn’t valid as the respondent on has ‘yes and no’ answer questions and they don’t go into depth with the answer. In Item B it says that ‘parents are accustomed to supplying information to the school’ therefore questionnaires would be the best way to conduct this as they can be given out on a regular basis and don’t need a formal meeting making the parents feel intimidated and not giving completely true answers. Because questionnaires collect information from a large number of people, the results stand a better chance of being truly representative. However, some parents might feel that the questions being asked are too personal and might feel like they are being judged by the school, but although questionnaires may ask personal or sensitive questions; parents are generally under no obligation to answer them.
This is true for athletics and school. As I progressed through the school system, I luckily did not have much trouble understanding the material until it came to high school where the level of comprehension and the level of the subject matter are much more challenging. In the earlier years of school from kindergarten to eighth grade, I did not try very hard. I didn’t need to try extra hard because I understood what was being taught fairly well, but when a problem or idea came up that I did not understand as easily as the others, I would not try to solve the problem. Rather, I would wait until the answer was given.
My experience was significantly different from Rodriguez’s. His life at home and at school is even almost exactly opposite of my own. My family played a key part in my life whereas his was almost nonexistent. I believe he took the wrong path. 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 George, Sam, and Rameck were in University High, they didn’t have teachers that were motivated. “We had a few dedicated teachers at the high school who pushed us to learn and forced us to do our work, but too many others just didn’t know how to reach us and didn’t seem to care” (59). The teachers don’t have the desire to help students or care, therefore, Sam, Rameck, and George's grades drop. This proved how important of a role teachers play on a student's academic life. If the teachers didn’t care about their education, how would you expect students to stay in school when the teachers don’t care whether they attend or not.
The Brave New Neverland Growing up means learning from getting hurt, taking on responsibility, and losing childhood innocence. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the people of the World State never seem to grow up and lose their childhood innocence. They work as adults but outside of work they are permitted to act like children with no responsibilities and drugs that take care of any unpleasant emotions. They are sheltered with no understanding of how to deal with things and are trained to not grow up mentally. 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.
The University of La Verne’s core values have been present in my life throughout the years. Even though my mother wanted to attend college as I did, she didn’t have the option to so and that’s why she encourages me to try my hardest in school. When my mother was young, she dreamed of attending college in the United States and getting a job so she could support her family, whereas when I was small, I didn’t think school was important. Although my mother only attended elementary school, school was one of her top priorities because she felt like it was an honor to go to school, and if you went to school, you were considered to be lucky. My mother was an over-achiever and saw education as a way of showing that she was better than most.
Aside from the class content I learned that I don’t wait for things to happen I went into this telling my group that under no circumstance could I lead this project but I found myself incapable of waiting for things to evolve on their own, I have more of a leader personality than I thought. How did the interpersonal dynamics affect your participation? If there were conflicts, how were they resolved? I am not shy and I was able to communicated with team members well, we had fun most of the time. Unfortunately we did not have a good dynamic with at least 1 team member which cause a quite a bit of delay and frustration, but we were able to side step this for the most part and push on with the objectives.
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.
Academically the Saints was expected to do well in school because of who their parents were and family social status. The Roughnecks wasn’t at all concerned about how they performed in school. In the end both groups had the ability to do well but made different choices due to different backgrounds. 4. Compare and contrast the treatment of the saints and the roughnecks by the police.
The may begin to show little or no concern for the child, rarely respond to the school’s requests for information, or demand perfection or a level of physical academic performance that the child cannot achieve. When a parent or guardian has no concerns about how their child is doing in school, it is validation that they have either given up or never cared about the child’s future. Demanding perfection and abusing a child when they cannot reach their expectations, raises concerns as well. We all want our children to do well in school and in life in general, but we cannot physical force them to excel. When questioned about a child’s injuries, an abusive parent will offer conflicting, unconvincing, or no explanation.
