The 'No Whining Rule' was designed for students that complained about the work teachers assigned. The author feels that the 'No Whining Rule' should be forced. However, in my opinion i strongly disagree with the rule being forced. I feel that it shouldn't be forced because I believe that some people are afraid to ask for help. I also feel like some people are scared to admit when they don't understand certain things. Lastly, I believe that everyone will whine in some part of their life. Especially about things they disagree with. The reality is, everyone has or will eventually whine, complain, blame others or try to avoid responsibility. I think it's apart of the human nature. Students are one of the main reasons …show more content…
There would also be students who learned right away, and then the ones who needed more help or attention. While on the other hand there would be a select few of students that's didn't want to learn anything at all. The students that learned at a faster pace than others had a cocky attitude. They believed that they were smarter and better than the other students. Sometimes there would be 3 people in the class that asked for help. When they admitted to the teacher why didn't understand something, the students that did understand would laugh, and mimic them. I literally watched them belittle a persons character.They made them feel less of a person. Those attitudes and actions from the students made the other students feel like they were stupid or dumb. All because they didn't catch on right away or as quickly as them. Those dumb and stupid jokes alone are enough to make others afraid to ask for help. I have watched students act a fool in the classrooms or give teachers a hard time just because they were afraid to ask for help. They would rather make the class laugh by acting out, rather than have the class laugh at them for not knowing. Therefore, with that being said instead of forcing the No Whining Rule teachers and
We were not allowed to discuss lessons, and on math assignments, if we did the problem in a way that was different from the way we were taught, it was automatically marked wrong. We were taught in a similar fashion, frequently being told to shut up or whatever we had to say wasn 't important if the teacher didn 't want us talking. One shining example of the lack of respect our staff had for the students was an assembly that occurred in fourth grade. A student would not stop talking and the principal yelled at him to be quiet. The student stood up and threw a temper tantrum. The principal then grabbed him, put him in a headlock, and said, "Son, I swear to God, if you make my back go out, I 'll make you regret it!" These experiences lead me to believe teachers saw us as little more than an obstacle - something they had to overcome each day - instead of what we really were: young children, whose minds they needed to protect and mold into the future of this
... my classroom who always played on his cell phone, played games, and acted unprofessional in during school hours. He always plagiarized his essays in my English class and always received straight F’s and did not care one bit; this would be an example of a student who is not willing to be taught or educated. In fact, the student should not even go to the school if they are not willing to try and do their own work.
In my classroom, I most often have students that misbehave because they are looking for attention from me or from their clas...
One of these is normative social influences, this is “the influence others have on us because we want them to like us (King, 2013, p. 447). Andrew shows this when he talks about how he got in detention. Andrew states he bullied a kid, so the kid would think he was cool. You see that Andrew does this disgusting action to this kid so he could be seen as cool. Another social behavior that is seen in the film is the fundamental attribution error, which is observers overestimate the importance of the internal traits and underestimate the importance of external factors when explaining others behaviors. We see the fundamental attribution error a lot in this movie. First we see it with Brian, everyone sees him as smart. But when Brian explains that he failed shop class people were surprised; they never thought this kid would ever fail, since he is so smart. Another is with Bender, they see him as disrespectful and aggressive. What they do not know is, at home, he is being verbally and physically abused by his dad and has to defend himself. This can bring us to conformity, which is a change in a person’s behavior to get more closely with group standards. We see this with all five of the students. Let’s start with Andrew, he covers up his hatred for him father so he wouldn’t be seen as abnormal. Then you have Brian who talks about contemplating suicide for failing a class. He did not want to
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
People will often say that the type of the class you have depends upon the teacher. James B. Stockdale once said, "A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear." In other words, a person who is taught with a sense of empowerment and real-world ideals will learn better, and will readily accept knowledge than someone who is not taught in this way. A person will struggle and be unwilling to learn if they are taught in a strict manner, and are only given facts from the subject area that is being taught.
Classes became “lifeless and petrified”, as Freire says. I had few teachers who attempted to follow the problem-posing model of education, to interact more with students and communicate with, and not to, them. These teachers were always some of the favorite teachers in the school, and taught classes students enjoyed. Students were more willing to work in these classes, as they felt they had a more important role in how and what they learned.
Music is one of the most fantastical forms of entertainment. Its history stretches all the way from the primitive polyrhythmic drums in Africa to our modern day pop music we listen to on our phones. It has the ability to amaze us, to capture our attention and leave us in awe. It soothes the hearts of billions, and it is so deeply rooted in my life that it has touched my heart as well. Everyday I walk to the beat of the song stuck in my head and hum along to the melody. For me, to listen to music be lifted into the air by the hands of your imagination and float around for a while. You forget about your worries, your troubles and find peace within the sound. Every chapter in my life is attached with a song. Every time I listen to a certain song, thoughts of my past come flooding back
Lastly, as a student myself most of Ellen Glanz’s points in “What’s Wrong with Schools?” are accurate. Classroom teaching methods need to be changed. Students shouldn 't be "doing as little as necessary to pass tests, using tricks to avoid assignments or manipulating teachers to do the work for them." Although teachers should demand more of their students it is essential for both the educator and his/her students to be on the same page. Through Ellen Glanz 's experience, she was able to point out the flaws in classroom settings and become a better teacher than she was before as
Some even seem to possess a sense of entitlement and believe they should put minimal effort in their courses .Rather than wanting to acquire knowledge for its own sake, an increasing number of students simply want to be entertained in class. Characteristics of the millennial generation may make this particular group of students more prone to classroom incivility than previous generation. Other related causes include medication or other substances students may be taking, illness (both physical and mental),fatigue, stress (feeling overextended), emotional challenges (loss of loved one or break up of a relationship), emotional immaturity and poor problem solving skills, attention seeking, redirected aggression (when a student becomes upset with a professor due to an unrelated event that occurred outside the classroom), vision and hearing problem or other disabilities. In regards to stress, some students are often joggling multiple roles.
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
There are many different types of students. All students have their own way of studying and learning material. A student’s attitude is the most determining factor in how well a student performs academically. Some students are eager to learn and try their best; however, some students could care less about learning. Each year students decide whether they will succeed or fail in school. All students fall into one category or another. Students can be classified into three categories: Overachievers, Average Joes, and Do Not Give a Rips.
To distinguish a student by their learning style, there must first be a review of the student’s abilities and the factors affecting their learning. When reviewing these factors there will be a sense of when the students responses are more consistent and help a teacher figure out when a student learns the best and how they learn as an individual. There are six different things that could affect the learning of a student: brain processing, senses, physical needs, environment, social needs, and emotional attitudes (Creative learning,1997).
People all learn at a different pace, some may be faster than others at learning something. It just depends on how the specific person learns best, or how much they already know on a specific topic. Other than the obvious fact that people learn differently, you as a teacher also have to take into consideration those that can not understand because of a mental disability that they may have. It is really common for someone of special needs to be put into a classroom and you have to be sure to not leave them behind, and make sure that they understand what you are teaching. It may be a slower process, but it is necessary. On the opposite side of that, there are the people who get all that you throw at them really easily. Those people may get bored, so you may have to give them something harder to do so that they are challenged and interested. To be fair and sure that people all learn properly, you should split them into three groups for each lesson that you teach. The group that completely understands what they need to, the group that is average and kind of gets it, that may need a little more help, and the group that definitely needs help with the topic. Doing this, you can ensure that each group will eventually be on the same level of understanding. You could also do some sort of different activity for each group, getting harder as you go up in difficulty level. This may take longer than you
In addition, during my observation even if this was my first day, I observed the different levels of intelligence of the students based on how they answer the question and how they react in the discussion. I also noticed their behavior inside the classroom, students at the back were very noisy, and busy doing unnecessary things.
