Being Good At School

Decent Essays
I believe the definition of being good at school is that you are obedient and respectful, and you don’t talk back to an adult. Also you would have to do all your work. But when it comes to home it’s a little different because first you always have to be obedient and respectful, and you only speak if spoken to. Secondly you would have to do ALL your chores and homework. So I would define being good or doing good meant to treat others how you would like to be treated. For example you don’t want any one yelling at you or being disrespectful to you so then don’t do it to an adult. The actions of being good would include having a seat in the classroom quietly and wait until your teacher gives you further instructions. Also an action would be to

    Although good is defined in many ways, it essentially means obtaining the qualities that depict a virtuous, ethical and kind nature. This closely corresponds with the interpretation of good in the Bible. Eliminating all evil in the world is unattainable, however, due to this, good will always be present. An example of an act of good in the world was when people donate their food to aid those in need. Although this is simple, it provides evidence that good still opposes evil in the world.…

There is no universal definition for good governance, everyone sets their priorities and their red lines in different places, but everyone still has their own definition.…

    A. Good has many different meanings depending on how it is used in a sentence. In this sentence, “Good behavior is usually rewarded in elementary school, but good deeds do not always get you to the top in adult life,” is a sentence where the meaning of good is applied differently. At first when I was reading the sentence, I didn’t even think about the meaning of good being different. When you are reading through something quickly you assume that a word has one meaning, but when you read through something thoroughly, you notice one word can mean many different things. When you look at the meaning of good before the word behavior, I would say the meaning of it would be what society thinks as morally right.…

    I would take pictures of my old school and then the school I go to now and show how different they work. In 2003 work was on a chalk board and there was recess outside and field trips and there were no writing essays and school now. Don't really go on field trips and if they do, they got to do work for it, but they don't go outside for recess, and they don't use chalk boards. Some do and some use computers and projectors to do work and writing essays and there was less work to do. Now, it's a lot of schoolwork to do, and the tests are long, just like the homework, but some work needs books.…

    Thou Shalt Attend In high school it was quite apparent that students could receive many absences with little or no consequences and still be able to maintain a good grade point average. However, in college that is not the case. Student attendance in college is important because students who attend class have better grades, have better relationships with their peers as well as professors and develop responsible habits and behaviors.

    Good character are defined as a particular feature or qualities that are ingrained into a person. A character education program is viewed as teaching of manners, and many other important actions in school that would later play a powerful role in a person 's life. I do not believe that character education programs in school will help to create socioeconomic equality, as it will not change the economic status of a student as parents income and education play a more important role in how a child is influenced at home; Also the surroundings that a person is raised in plays a crucial role on a person 's character. An article by Alfie Kohn contradicts the idea of having character education programs in school, as it will only teach students common sense.…
