Having a flawless 1786/0 Win/Loss record, She was often the talk of the town. She was regarded as "The Psychic Duelist with an Answer to Everything" Particularly due to the fact that she often had a response for every play her foes made and literally decided if they were permitted to play or not. Her PSYFrames were truely a fearsome force and there were so few left who could muster the courage to challenge her.

    Countless students and teachers go to school every day and work very hard to meet what is asked of each of them. Teachers work more than 40 hours a week, especially when there are events going on throughout the school year. Students go to class to earn an “A,” not to learn what the teacher is teaching the class due to the fact that students were taught to contently earn a letter grade in that class. However, teachers are not at fault either because the school board and administrators give the teachers a timeline of all the curriculum the students must learn to a certain point in time of each marking period. In “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto, he describes how numerous students and teachers go to school and they are just dullness is so…

    Due to this, teachers will give up on the students who are lacking and therefore, do not provide those students with an equal opportunity to succeed. Focusing more on the belief everyone can thrive instead of turning it into a competition could result in less students just getting lost on the way. Struggling students just need people to believe in their abilities and the same opportunities as a student who seems to be a “natural” at what they do. The competition attached to a grading system can motivate students to work harder and provide a simple way of telling who did well in school, but grades can also cause certain students to lose motivation to try at all.…

    In Cathy Davidson’s article, Project Classroom Makeover, one can easily see how biased and unrealistic the majority of her ideas and opinions are towards creating a new education paradigm. She has many valid points, but the amount of holes in her plans outweighs the benefits. What Davidson wants is an education to be interesting, while providing children with a successful start to life. While her intentions are possible, she is hoping for the wrong things to be changed in order for her scenario to work. Cathy Davidson strongly believes that standardization is inhibiting the ability for students to show their true potential outside of what is deemed important by the school.…

    What Our Education Needs Is More F’s “What our education system needs is more F’s” written by Carl singleton is stating that giving F’s to students who deserve, it may be the solution for fixing our education system. According to singleton, “By handing out more F’s frequently that will motivate students themselves to actually learn the material and receive the grade they deserve.” Singleton is implying that the only students who grasp the material taught should be allowed to pass and the rest should not pass. Singleton also points out that this is due to schools that have added to the ignorance on a massive scale issuing passing grades unfairly in the last 20 years.…

    Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name brand stores.…

    Social Promotion is a very controversial topic amongst all social classes. Advancement of ones child to the next level should be an accomplishment of the previous grades requirements and not a mandatory movement into the next grade level. This single action teaches students many things about life and one of them is there is no requirement for success, its merely given to anyone that shows up wanting it. There are many underlining reasons behind why a school would or would not promote this educational style but those that promote it in my opinion do not have the best interests of the students in mind. This is a cop out for an education system to hold any kind of a standard.…
