Because you are giving me ten points, you will look good as a teacher because most your students will be passing. As a student I believe that everyone should have chances when it comes to passing their classes. Do you want to look good in front of your boss when he sees that most of your students are passing than the other teachers? Do you want us to pass your class? Look in life we have to take chances, and you got to pick the one. All Im saying is if you pass me you’ll have great things coming your way.
People would say what if you lose your job for giving me these extra 10 points. Nonsense, you won’t because no one will know. No one will if we don’t say anything, and I’m giving you my word I ain’t saying nothing. Like I said before, if you give me ten extra points, your student passing rate will go up, and your boss may give you a raise.
I believe that you will be one of the most memorable people in my life if you do this. I believe I deserve these extra points on my grade average, and I’ll do anything to get the points. I believe that everyone should have this opportunity. I believe you are the most caring teacher in the world Mrs. Stigger, and you love to support your students when it comes to passing. I believe you will do anything to help your students pass, so please help me get those extra ten
“Stop spacing out, Mr. Anderson,” Mrs. Sorun said, who had thrown a paper wad at my head. “Part of your grade is listening to what your peers have to say and right now you’re failing.”
Growing up, my parents never expected perfection but expected that I try to accomplish my best. The effort I’ve put forth in learning has been reflected in my grades throughout my high school career. I’ve entered myself in vigorous course work such as AP Government and AP English to become well prepared for my college career, all while maintaining a 4.4 grade point average this year. Not only do I engage in AP classes, but up until this year I had no study halls. I wanted my day to be packed full of interesting classes that I would enjoy learning about. My grades and choice of classes prove the effort that I put forth in my learning. Working hard now can only pay off in the future. Learning now creates a well-rounded human being. Working to learn is why I am so dedicated to my studies now.
I have always showed hard work and determination in the classroom to learn and better myself. I am constantly trying to work ahead on long term projects so I don’t have to hurry at the end and turn in something I won’t be proud of. During class, I never cause distractions that would disrupt either my or anyone else's learning. In the 11 years I have spent being a student at Allegheny Clarion Valley, in either the elementary or high school, I have only ever got one B on a report card, which that already shows the hard work I put in the classroom. I am always using hard work and determination is to advance and learn in school.
Like I said we don’t live in a perfect world so not everyone will like you, but there will always be people who will help you grow and learn as a teacher. I leave you with a simple question are you the teacher that doesn’t care about your students, and could care less if they got D’s in every class, or are you the teacher who understands what I am saying and agrees, because you know that you care for your student, and you know that you students like you for the way you teach, the way you act, and what you teach? Simple question, hard
The expectations teachers have for their students attempt to prepare the students for the rigorous academics ahead. Students are told that in typical colleges, teachers do not care about one’s excuse for a late assignment or attendance issues. Therefore, high school teachers expect their students to turn in assignments on time and be in class. If those expectations are not met, some high school teachers will not accept the assignment or will expect the students to find out what they missed on their own. “The transition from a public high to a top U. can be difficult, stressful, and frustrating. You will have to learn to excel in...
In the front of a fourth-grade classroom, there sits the ever-smiling face of a little girl. Each morning, this girl is the first to class, dressed neatly and appropriately, with a backpack full of supplies in order for her to be successful in the classroom. Her homework is always finished, and her parents always make sure she is doing her reading, and trying for excellent grades. The constant efforts of the child in the classroom, and her perpetual kindness to all of her peers has persuaded the teacher into being impressed with the little girl’s work this year. She decides, along with her fellow faculty, to award the child a certificate stating she is the Student of the Month. The child barely makes it through the bus ride home due to
The data set used for this assignment was the grades.sav data file. The variables used were gender, GPA, total, and final. GPA and final were used in the histogram scales, along with skewness, kurtosis values, and scatter plot. This assignment included a sample size of (N) 105.
...hem and show them that everything is possible and black excellence is real. Some need that motivation and need to see things like this really happen. So I can’t keep telling them to get good grades and do well in school if I’m not demonstrating it to them. That wouldn’t be a good role model. I’m the first in my family to go to college and I have to finish strong. I haven’t let them down yet, so I can’t let them down now. Overall I think that I’ve been a great student in this class which is why when I receive my final grade I’d like to see a grade that I want. I learned my lesson with this course and that’s to do my work on time, stop procrastinating, and ask questions. So I won’t ever be in this predicament again. After writing this paper I can’t to conclusion that I definitely deserve a good grade. So I’m claiming it. I’m going to leave Math 170 with a good grade.
It’s funny how quickly time flies by it seems like just yesterday I was complaining about writing the first part of this assignment. Looking back at it now, the reasons why I want to become a teacher remain the same. I want to inspire, shape, encourage, and mentor my students. I want to make the kind of impact on each and every single one of them that they will carry on for the rest of their lives. Whether it be simply believing in them, and telling them that I know they are capable of accomplishing anything they want to, or helping them through a tough time. My desire to become a teacher has increased tremendously the past 16 weeks, and I am so eager and excited to finish my education to begin my teaching career.
In summary, this student is disappointed in his physics grade as he has honestly worked to earn a higher grade in comparison to his classmates who have been cheating on assessments. His mother helps guide him in advocating for himself with the teacher and earns the opportunity to retake an assessment. His mother advises that to prove he deserves a higher grade as a result of the opportunity, he must be fully prepared and study. His perfect score proves his ability and resulted in a higher semester grade. Finally, both learned that Cedric had advanced in his development and he was prepared to enter college
(9) Granted, these are very important aspects of school, but they are not the goal of education. My worst teacher played into the idea that one thing makes for a good student – a good grade. (8) I was taught in such a way that I was prepared for the test, did well, and have since forgotten the information. My favorite teacher, however, knew that students are smart in their own ways. Not everyone is good at every subject, but the knowledge lacking in that area is made up for in another. This teacher wanted to strengthen each student’s knowledge of the subject taught at hand to somewhat even the playing field in the world of education. I was pushed and made to think in order to truly grasp the concept of the subject I was studying. It was a harder class, but it was a class in which I have succeeded the most. This quality of education is what makes my favorite teacher the best that I have
In today’s America, the educational system has been blaming teachers for the failure of students. This pressure put on teachers causes a lot of unneeded stress and can even be demoralizing. Instructors are always trying to put the student’s
A high school class and a college class are conducted in different ways. In high school, teachers exercise control over the flow of information, while college professors encourage the student to seek out pertinent information. Throughout the year, a high school teacher will remind the student of upcoming due dates and assignment requirements. If a student misses a test or homework assignment, the teacher will provide missing notes or study guides so that the student is kept up to date with the rest of the class. For example; when I was in high school, I missed a week of school to go on vacation with my family. My mother spoke with my teacher before we left and he agreed to let me turn in my homework when I returned to class. Furthermore, my teacher allowed me to make up the single quiz that I missed during my absence. Neither the late homework, nor the missed quiz reflected in my grade. A college professor would have made me choose between a good grade and a vacation with my family. In contrast, the college professor...
A good education has always been drilled into my head ever since I was a little girl. Boy did I hate that, all I wanted to do was goof off and have fun with my friends. But as the years went on I started to realize how important it was to have a good education. Not that that made me like school anymore than I did; but I was realizing the different ways I was learning and how different people taught. I remember saying one day, when I was a freshman in high school, that if I was teaching this class I would have never taught it that way. Unfortunately, my teacher overheard me and I was forced to go to the front of the room and explain to the class the way it should be taught since I knew so much about teaching. Needless to say I did an awful job of it. That is when I started thinking about becoming a teacher. I know that does not make sense because I did such an awful job and was humiliated doing it. I did not like the way that man taught and I was determined to take his job. However, the reason I am here today is not that I want to take a teacher’s job; it is because I have the desire to make a difference in the lives of many students. I hope I will be a good teacher so that I will never have to hear a student say something bad about my teaching.
...them to succeed in the classroom. Although the look of the classroom has changed over the years, one thing still remains: teachers are the number one factor in a student’s educational experience.
