They want a change in the education system so that children can prosper and be able to boost our declining economy. Children have always dreaded going to school because of boring classes and monotone teachers, but children are not only noticing this but so are influential adults. Robinson describes the school system as a factory forming students into what we want and banishing out the ones that do not reform into the model student. Moore agrees that the school system is suppressive when he says, “As soon as I entered high school-the public school system…I was walking the halls of a two-thousand-plus –inmate holding pen” (134). Moore felt trapped and earlier revealed that he dropped out of school sophomore year because he disliked school from first grade.
Charles Dalton, known by his friends as Charlie, is one of Mr. Keating’s students and is the rebel of the group. He is bold, confident, daring, and not afraid of punishment or authority. Todd Anderson, another of Mr. Keating’s students, who, unlike Charlie, is overly shy and unsure of himself, shows a total lack of confidence. Todd has the weight of the world on his shoulders and follows the rules, trying to avoid any kind of confrontation. Although Todd Anderson may have started out as a conformist, he learns and grows more from Mr. Keating’s lessons than the rebellious Charles Dalton.
Vlad Dovgan Ms. Bulla English AP Lit/Comp Period 8 3/3/13 Looking at the World through Larry’s Eyes Throughout my young life, I’ve been exposed to various situations where people have decided to violate social codes and ethics that were put in place to prevent chaos. In fact, I can think all the way back to my elementary school days when this betrayal of social norms became evident to me. I’m sure everyone can remember certain classmates who thought they were “slick Ricks” and cut the lunch line. Sure, everyone has probably done it themselves, but that sleazy move done in the early stages of one’s schooling career has the potential to affect how people will interact in their futures. Perhaps my own personal opinion on the matter is why I fell in love with the show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Of course, being obnoxious is not the idea. The key is to become a master of communication with teachers and fellow students, all of whom are a part of the school community. Most importantly, those who are outside of the community. I do not want to make Abraham Clark High School sound as if it produces the perfect students, because it doesn't. But the school deserves a lot of credit for its efforts.
Your script is short and Cleary, very straight forward and easy to understand the point you’re trying to pass on to the reader. I would like to agree with you on when you said “Our educational system misleads the youth of today” This point is very well explained and very true. School is the main reason people don’t succeed in life because it teaches you the things which you won’t use and don’t need in the outside world. My goal in life is to be an engineer but school not only discourages you but also forces you to take subject which are not related to engineering for instinct grade 7-9 you are suppose to take biology. This might be said to be an advantage that it increases your knowledge but that not true, what I really think is that it gets you confused, lost and most likely finding yourself on the wrong dream at the end of it all.”Learning should be a more active process “This quote backs up the previous quote because for example engineering is mostly to do with practical work, field work but instead you waste 15 years of your life in a room doing things which are unrelated to your goal instead of being out exploring and learning more about engineering and preparing for the real thing.”What, after all, is the
Kids around the U.S. in schools are starting to write threats around the school as a joke. The sad part is when somebody brings up a school shooting and it is not seen as a big deal because we are now used to these types of outbursts happening more than they should. If we look back at 1998 when the Columbine shooting happened people were in shock because it was the worst that has ever happened before. It has happened so much from then to now that nobody is surprised when we hear about one. People are now expecting these to happen and that is the problem.
“Your rarely see a teacher tell a kid to tuck in his shirt and have some pride in his appearance.” The best coaches still live by this code and make no apologies for demanding the kids to live up to it. Coaches talk so confidently about character but so many of them are morally tongue-tied about it. First, the coaches still command authority. “The same kids who have decided it is cool to dismiss teachers or parents will still listen to a coach. Go into a high school and watch the dynamics of a classroom.
To exemplify this, my friend Joe was assigned three hours worth of homework last week…and that was only math! Placing hours of homework upon the fragile and developing brains that will be the future of America would be a crime in itself. To shield the inner thoughts of our eminent future, it is imperative that you reduce the boatload that students call homework. Furthermore, when stressed out from overloaded studies, scholars tend to become inimical, which is hazardous to their learning community as corruption within their mind leads to physical altercations with classmates. Homework is like a tsunami; you can try hard but you cannot avoid it.
A student should never act dumbfounded by how poorly their final grades turned out to be considering the amount of information provided by the instructor in order to help aid the student in time of need. Weisenfeld states, “Many, when pressed about why they think they deserve a better grade, admit they don't deserve one but would like one anyway.” Assuming the students already foresaw the outcome of their grades,
He has been kicked out of school several times; it seems like he does not care about it; however, he has a decent grade in English class. What makes Holden act this way? There is always a reason behind the way people behave, and Holden seems to have some serious problem going on within him. When Holden was sleeping over Mr. Antolini’s house, Holden revealed something that could be key to understand why he conducts himself to others the way he
