Texters often don’t acknowledge the proper uses of ‘s, s’, and s and use them improperly in their writing. Writing is starting to be more popular for students and statistics show that student now and writing more than students in the past have. Also students forget the proper use of periods and commas. Fifty percent of teens say that they sometimes use informal writing styles instead of proper capitalization and punctuation in their school assignments. When students send texts, they don’t use periods because they forget or don’t think they need them.
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
They stress day and night over these overrated tests, like previously stated channeling out the imagination, curiosity and good will. Besides being an imprecise measure for students, they use them to judge a teacher’s performance as well, essentially used to either reward or punish them. Standardized test are not helping us very much right now. In conclusion, the usage of standardized tests should be discontinued or by the very least lessened. These tests are not helping people, it’s initially having a negative effect on students and teachers.
Vocational Education affects Mike Rose as he is not challenged intellectually, and is being abuse emotionally, but even after facing these problems, he learns to be social and appreciates diversity. Mike’s intellectual was working below his abilities. He lost interest in learning at school or in even paying attention he says, “During my time in Voc. Ed., I developed further into a mediocre student and a somnambulant problem solver, and that affected the subjects I did have the wherewithal to handled: I detested Shakespeare; I got bored with history. My attention flitted here and there” (Rose 160).
Sometimes in life we come across teachers that harm us more than help us in the classroom. In “Here Lies Miss Groby,” by James Thurber, the author talks about his experience in English class as a young man and how his experience influenced him. I will take you into Thurber’s experience of Miss Groby and shine a light on the flaws of her teaching. According to the author, Miss Groby loved taking a piece of writing and searching for small details. For him she should be alanguage teacher instead of literature teacher and she was completely unconcerned with the story but in actual she was concerned with the type of story.sheshould concerned with the meanings or deepness of the work but she was completely unconcerned with the meaning of the material and always keep focusing on its identification which annoyed the author all the time and he losses all of his interest for that subject .
They might instead skip around, scanning for pertinent information of interest… I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore…” (318). Students are not focusing on reading a book from beginning to end. Instead, students tend to skim through and miss the important information which is a negative impact on them. Carr agrees that using the Web so often is having a negative effect on him because he is having a harder time focusing and reading articles which are more than a few sentences. He points out, “When I mentions my troubles with reading to friends, many say they’re suffering from similar afflictions.
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.
While this statements sound so simplistic, it’s really being lost in the world of teaching. While trying to keep up with testing standards and needs of students, we as teachers must make sure that we are not creating ignorant thinkers. As teachers we must accept that we don’t have all the answers and that just like students, we are constantly learning. When Dr. Wayson was speaking, I couldn’t
Students sometimes become so dependent upon technology that they are not exposed to the traditional ways of learning. Because some students might rely on technology in every area of learning, they might never experience what it is like to visit a library or read a printed textbook, especially since so many books can be purchased on audio now. Other disadvantages are that students’ handwriting skills might suffer due to a lack of practice because of their use of the computer to always write reports and essays. Always relying on the computer to find and correct errors while creating documents can result in students having very poor progress in grammar and spelling skills. Because many students also rely on the computer’s calculator, their ability to learn the proper methods of solving math problems might not be as enhanced.
On the contrary, aural study strategies engage “attending classes, discussions, and tutorials, discussing topics with others and teachers, and using a tape recorder.” People who are good listeners and learn better by hearing have aural strategies. Kinesthetic strategies, however, require you to completely take notes and fully engage yourself. Another comparison can be between read/write strategies and visual strategies. Visual strategies “use symbolism and different formats, fonts and colors to emphasize important points. It does not include video and pictures that show real images and it is not visual merely because it is shown on a screen.” It is similar to read/write strategies because read/write strategies also engage using your eyes to read but visual strategies use things that are prominent to your eyes.
