Recommended: Importance of respect in school by the students

For many students such as myself school is a place where we can discuss our opinions about relevant issues. Many people believe discussing controversial topics in a classroom setting can be both beneficial and harmful to students. Some people argue having those discussions in a classroom will help the students better prepare for real world situations where they will have to defend their beliefs. Other people would argue that student having discussions like that would make students feel uncomfortable and attacked. I believe having those discussions in a classroom setting can be extremely beneficial; students will be able to learn how to properly argue for and against certain topics. A classroom setting like this will also provide student with

    ...o school. The dissenting opinion simply argued that freedom of speech is not to be used as a disturbance. Therefore, those students’ right to expression or speech was not violated because it interfered with the classroom’s learning. There is a time and place for everything, and freedom of speech should not be used everywhere.

  • Conflict In The Piano Lesson

    594 Words  | 2 Pages

    To enforce the central subject of conflict between siblings: Boy Willie and Berniece over their family piano, the 1995 film adaptation of The Piano Lesson (PL) successfully recreates two important parts of stage-play. The first occurs in Act 1, Scene 2. This scene is important because it outlines the history of the piano, as well as Berniece’s emotional attachment to the piano, and the involvement of Sutter’s ghost. Knowing the history behind the piano is essential to the viewer's comprehension of its symbolic significance. The central subject is enforced through this scene because it provides the motive of the conflict. Boy Willie sees the piano as a monetary item and a way to advance his social and economic security. That by selling the piano and buying Sutter’s land, he would be an heir to his father’s legacy. To Berniece, the piano holds an emotional and symbolic value that no amount of money could equal. She sees the life and death of her and Boy Willie’s father as well as the blood, tears and sacred spirit

  • A Class Divided

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    A Class Divided The film A Class Divided was designed to show students why it is important not to judge people by how they look, but rather who they are inside. This is a very important lesson to learn: people spend too much time looking at people not for who they are but for what ETHNITICY they are. One variable that I liked about the film is that it showed the children how it felt to be on both sides of the spectrum. The HYPOTHESIS of the workshop was that if you out a child and let them experience what it is like to be in the group that is not wanted because of how they look and then make the other group the better people group that the child will have a better understanding of not to judge a person because of how they look but instead who they are as people. I liked the workshop because it made everyone that participated in it, even the adults that took it later on, realize that you can REHABILITAE ones way of thinking.

    In the beginning, the argument was whether or not the school day should be started with a prayer over the PA system. This didn't last long, as anyone can see that there is so much diversity in the religious beliefs of high school kids today. The argument then moved on to replace "prayer" with "moment of silence. " Those in favor of prayer in school pose several arguments. They say it will increase tolerance in schools, as children learn about different religions and how they practice.

  • Common Ground At School

    I am writing this letter today to explain my situation and hopefully find some common ground with the school about the exact reasons my grades were so poor last year. Before coming to Mason, I was an honor student who had never even failed a course let alone obtained a lower ranking grade such as a D. The real reason I struggled this past semester was because of health issues that bogged me down and presented me with the challenge of being able to attend class regularly and participate at an efficient output with my school work. From about late October time all the way to the Spring my body was at war with itself dealing with walking pneumonia. I would come down with headaches, cough frequently, feel sluggish and light headed at times, and

    Students should be able to express themselves at school and anywhere else they decide. I, Mary Beth Tinker, wanted to wear a black armband on my arm and fast during the holidays. I wanted to demonstrate my First Amendment rights and my views on the Vietnam War. It was a simple black armband that caused a uproar and change for the children. All children have the right to express Freedom of speech. Walking into a school building does not stop your rights as a citizen. This is where I began my case. Other students and I sued the school district. We believed we were doing nothing to harm other students or cause a huge disruption. Everyone deserves to express their rights. My local district court discharged the case and said that our school district’s

  • The Importance Of A Second Bathroom Fights In School

    203 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Why does this take so long I'm gonna be late for class”,You are thinking angrily. If i could make one improvement to the school it would be to add a 2nd bathroom. Because the lines are to long causing students to be late and it is starting fights and causing other bathroom issues. One reason i think the school should add a 2nd bathroom is its causing late students and causing too many problems like,starting fights, making students late to class,and other issues. Also think it is important for students to learn as much as they can but being late is taking away from that time. With shorter bathroom lines the students can make it to class on time. I believe that this will greatly reduce “accident started fights”, accident started fights are

    Teacher Ethics “Ethics are defined as a set of principles of right conduct; the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession” (Dictionary of the Human Language, 2000). Teachers are often put in situations that require more than just knowing the basic school rules. It is within these situations, that the ethical dilemmas occur. There is not always a right way to deal with the many daily problems that face educators, but there are ways to handle situations that are better than others. Teachers should follow and refer to a code of ethics to help teach in the most appropriate and ethical way as well as a guide to help deal with dilemmas.
