In the passage “Hiding from Reality” by Bob Herbert, Hebert discusses how America currently is in horrible shape. America right now is try to recover from its’ past mistakes, but it will take several years before the U.S. can get back to its previous state. In the year 2009, more than 650,000 foreign-born workers were taking up the jobs that are usually worked by native-born workers, and are still continuing. Herbert explains, “We should discriminate against foreign-born workers, but that the…
Agricultural and Technical State University. I attended this tutorial on Tuesday, September 26th. Our councilor is Brandelyn Hall. That following evening she asked some of the students, who were seniors, to stay after for the workshop about financial aid. Generally, our tutorials are always held in Merrick Hall. Before, all the students dismiss to the specific classes they need help in, we sit through a ten-minute ice breaker. I would say the venue looked more like an auditorium and classroom…
in being a dormitory Resident Assistant have offered me a glimpse into leading, building, and managing a small community of 52 students.…
full well she couldn’t do algebra, because she could barely multiply, but how do you cram 9 years of lost education into four years. Even if you do summers and nights and weekends it may not happen. As educators though how can we promote, unprepared students, who are obviously not ready to go on. Did Bernice not have an intentional teacher? According to Slavin “Teachers face a number of difficult, and sometimes unexpected, decisions every day” (p.11) so maybe this was the case, Bernice’s…
Student debt has been one of the biggest issues for many graduates. The federal government has proposed to decrease debt for those who will have graduated. Still, many stumble into piles of student debt. Not to mention that in the near future, these people will have a difficult time to afford the necessities to live the American dream. There is a limit now for people to expand education, who are willing to work hard. Due to the fact that the states across the border are not funding universities…
as a community which I long to be a part of. With the welcoming atmosphere and the ability to discuss current issues anywhere on campus, I can easily fit into the community. As an Asian-American, as an LGBTQ+ individual, as a driven and motivated student, UW-Madison seems to be the logical choice. As a prestigious institute, UW-Madison can challenge me academically and nurture me into a well-rounded individual. With the wide range of courses and clubs available, I know that I can…
them is a CELDT level 2, one is a CELDT level 3, three are at CELDT level 4, and one is a CELDT level 5. The CELDT level 2 student can repeat sentences, phrases, and speak in simple sentences. This student can also write in simple sentences and excels in mathematics. Will need a lot of repeated oral vocabulary in order to grasp the academic language. The CELDT level 3 student can easily recall facts when prompted, but can’t remember them when he is working by himself. Can easily speak English…
We made some significant changes to the program and recommended that students meet with their instructors on June 20th and 21st to be proactive in setting up times for struggling students. Significantly, Darius S. (Watch full names in e-mails) is in the lab every day plugging away at his course. He has been there from day one. Significantly, how do you eliminate entire sections of a class when you have not met with the student or have not assessed his work or work habits? Most importantly,…
future academic student. It also stated that whatever ambitions a student chooses, shows the type of affect theparents had on the student. Students who lack academic support from their parents are more likely to not complete school or drop out. Academic excellence should not always be determined by the academic support given to them by their parents. It seems to rely more on the presence that the parents have rather than the support. Economic and social play a role in a students academic…
The Systematic Destruction of Imagination Modern educational systems in the United States encourage students to conform to the status quo and to never challenge the way things are done. Students attend classes of little real world value, kids either become disillusioned with learning or lose their imagination through conformity. Many classes discuss artistic works, but never consider that there can be more than one meaning or deeper purpose to be gleaned from them. Ignorant parents contribute…
