“I think most schools have a resident idiot” (Elliot 32). At Robinson Secondary school, there is an English teacher named Cynthia Yost. She prides herself as being one of the most valuable teachers in her subject. Although she provides opportunities for students to learn English skills that are valuable, Cindy is an inadequate teacher because of her disregard for her students' other work from other classes, and her constant over-assigning of useless materials with absurd due dates.…

This is a bittersweet announcement. The issue is if elementary students should switch classes. In my opinion elementary students shouldn’t switch classes for each subject. Lucille Ruby states young children need guidance,supports and stability. Given this point, students who don’t bond with their teachers will not succeed and won’t feel safe.…
Once upon a time, in the year 2013, on the island of Oahu, there was a student who was going to start the beginning of 7th grade in Waipahu Intermediate School. That student was a boy named Jarren Calizo.

Isaac Washington Isaac Washington is a junior African-American student at Jefferson Davis High School, a school known for its academic excellence. When Isaac was a freshman, he was among a group of African-American students that was transferred to Jefferson Davis High School due to a court order to desegregate the metropolitan schools. Because of the desegregation of Jefferson Davis High School, Isaac’s pre-dominantly black school was shut and the students were bused long distances and spread out among the district’s white schools. Consequently, Isaac’s classmates have little connection with the school’s past and present; as they cannot participate extra-curricular activities due to the distance from their homes and the need to ride the…

In last summer, with mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation, I walked into the classroom in which the very first lecture of CS61A was going to be held at UC Berkeley. However, after the lecture, as an international student, as a community college student, as an adult learner, feelings of alienation and unrest occupied my mind rather than excitement. My journey of CS61A course started with anxieties, and it seemed that there was an insurmountable barrier regarding interacting with classmates. In retrospect, my sentiment solely overreacted against the environments surrounding me due to a dilution of feeling of belonging.…
Dear, Ms. Stewart I think you need to call Mrs. Bruss and get her back because the teacher we have now isn’t a good teacher. Mr. Suarez is a nightmare he enforces things that doesn’t even need to be enforced and no other teacher enforces it just him. The reasons I think that you should bring me Mrs. Bruss back. I don’t think anyone in this school likes Mr. Suarez he is a nightmare. This kind of teaching shouldn’t be allowed when we come into class he tells us to sit our laptops on the desk by the door and he locks them up in the closet and gives them back at the end of class sometimes he gives them back when he feels like it.…

If you ask a student about the history of their culture, most of them will not know the basics. Ethnic studies a way to teach students the history of their culture and other peoples ' culture, so they do not walk blindly of the history that their culture has to offer them. A project that a language art teacher has worked so hard on and its dedication is being turned down by the school district itself. There are many teachers and students trying to make parents and alumni of the Coachella Valley School District to become aware of the implementation of ethnic studies in the CVUSD high schools. It’s a project that will help many students learn and understand where their culture comes from.…
The Context I met with my interviewee, Mrs. Miriam Reyes, on Wednesday February 18th at 12:00 in the afternoon at James G. Blaine Elementary School. We met after my observation during the students’ recess and lunch. She instructed me to the teachers lounge where we would conduct the interview. There were few other teachers around eating their lunch, grading paperwork and making copies. She directed me to a table near the back where it was much quieter.…
Urban schools are most always portrayed in a negative light. Such is the case in the movie called Stand and Deliver which takes place in a high school in East Los Angeles during the 1980’s. This movie is based off a true story about a teacher by the name of Jaime Escalante, played by Edward Olmos, who worked diligently with a group of roughneck students because he thought that every student has the potential to learn. He believed that if the students and teacher had enough “Ganas” or motivation that students would supersede the expectations of any educational setting. Armed with his motivation he set out to teach 18 students far more math than they ever imagined they would learn; he taught them Calculus for them to take the AP Calculus Exam.…
Reflection on Book Title “The Leader, The Teacher & You” I share the same sentiment with the author that “Walk the ground!” is essential for a leader to earn respect from the ground. Walking the ground also requires social competency skills such as being able to “communicate to influence” and having “interpersonal effectiveness”. In future, I will apply this principle of “Walk the ground!” by constantly engaging my superiors, peers and subordinates for their guidance and opinions through cohesion and feedback sessions on how various tasks can be done more effectively and efficiently. Through these sessions, I will seek to understand their concerns and challenges in their area of work.…
