The training of the schools we need to-day more than ever,--the training of deft hands, quick eyes and ears, and above all the broader, deeper, higher culture of gifted minds and pure hearts. The power of the ballot we need in sheer self-defence,--else what shall save us from a second slavery? Freedom, too, the long-sought, we still seek,--the freedom of life and limb, the freedom to work and think, the freedom to love and aspire. Work, culture, liberty,--all these we need, not singly but together, not successively but together, each growing and aiding each, and all striving toward that vaster ideal that swims before the Negro people, the ideal of human brotherhood, gained through the unifying ideal of Race; the ideal of fostering and developing the traits and talents of the Negro, not in opposition to or contempt for other races, but rather in large conformity to the greater ideals of the American Republic, in order that some day on American soil two world-races may give each to each those characteristics both so sadly lack. We the darker ones come even now not altogether empty-handed: there are to-day no truer exponents of the pure human spirit of the Declaration of Independence than the
This holds lesson too for teachers. It reminds us to think about why we are upholding the rules that we do; it is because that is just the way it is, or is it because we truly believe that to be the best? I was recently chastised by another teacher for what they saw as disregard for student lates. I have 3 girls who chose to go for a smoke between our very short bell. I have taught these girls before and it is a battle no one wins with them.
She watched but did not feel powerful enough to go against her classmates making outcasts of some children, such as an overweight girl with only one dress while everyone, teachers included deferred to the leading confident children. At the age of sixty, Paley can no longer resist those early memories of her past painful empathy with the outsiders. She undertakes to go beyond the usual practice of making the outsiders more acceptable to the insiders, to find a way to break the chain of exclusion without violating the other children’s sense of justice or ruining the atmosphere of her classroom. Several surprising things about Paley’s approach to problem solving with the children make the story engrossing and full of suspense. For one thing, she is genuinely ambivalent and does not know how imposing a new rule (“You can’t say you can’t play”) will work out.
Auden always judged people based on their first impressions and how they came off when she first saw them. One of the major themes in the novel is how Auden is quick to judge everything she sees, although she was often wrong. The two people that she was completely wrong about happened to be some of the most important people in her life. She misjudged her step mother Heidi but thinking she was a superficial girl who only cared about materialistic objects as well as Maggie who came out to be one of her closest friends. It took Auden some time to realize that she had been wrong in her misconception of others and it made her more open minded.
I think that it is a very good lesson to teach Scout because she is still a young girl and at he school she has to put up with all kinds of judgmental people, she doesn't need to add to the mix. I think that this has made Atticus' and Scout's friendship come a little closer because now she knows something that she didn't before so she can develop to be a nice and even better young lady in life. Another quote that related to my theme is the one in chapter 23. "Jem, see if you can stand in Bob Ewell's shoes for a minute, I destroyed his last shred of credibility at the trial, if he had any to begin with. The man had to have some kind of comeback, he always does.
However, she anticipated herself wrong when she faced the mind conflict about the teenagers in a connected environment. The sole purpose of this paper is to explain, how the value of self-communication determines, how the structure of group necessaries, and how empower of leaders helps the members. Cady was more related herself in new environment; therefore she gained the information and friends through the communicating with her classmates. If she was narrow minded towards others in school, than she would not made any friends. Cady often smiled while she talked to others, and made the impression towards them that she was polite and approachable.
When we were children our mothers used to use this art as a way of making us know the right decisions from the wrong ones. It is the same thing that, such people like drug dealers use to make people do what they want. It is very possible to use ethical behavior in the negative as a way or persuading a teenager who seem insecure into joining the bad group, while a poor person may be forced into robbery through the same thing. In all these cases, the end is made to justify the means. An example of an ethical behavior and persuasion is much visible when considering the case of Phoebe Prince, a high school girl who
Kingston believes that women should learn to be a strong individual, the important thing for a young women to learn is to speak up for themselves to show that females aren't weak, but that they are articulate.. Kingston’s point of view is that women should be articulate and outspoken. She doesn’t believe that women cannot stand up for themselves. They should have a professional and powerful sense of style to show that they are sharp rather than feminine and weak. Women should never be a sissy girl and be labeled as weak or small. “I am going to make you talk you sissy-girl.” Kingston stated to the girl that she picked on during school and tried to make her talk because she did not speak to her.
CWPA, NCTE, and NWP claim in “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing,” that “Habits of mind refers to ways of approaching learning that are both intellectual and practical and that will support students’ success in a variety of fields and disciplines” (122). At the Recreation Center, responsibility and persistence are habits of the mind that most students apply. Persistence, which the authors describes, is the “ability to sustain interest in and attention to short and long-term projects,” that pushes these students to come back throughout their education, regardless of how high their workload has piled up (122). When approaching college, students find it much more difficult to schedule exercising while balancing out their college life. There are exams to study for, deadlines to meet, and expectations to live up to.
Self-discipline is a good way to trained and improved ourselves. Become a role model should break own limits, to practice and practice. When she said “There were times I didn’t think I’d make it. We had very difficult conditions and it seemed like our odds were stacked against us.” It shows us that Sharon self-discipline lots of times, even if in the worst condition never gave up practice. And the article wrote “Self-discipline and drive to be the best we can be is, in many ways, what propels us through the tough times in life”; it shows us that Sharon through Self-discipline learned lots of knowledge and got abundant experience.
