century. I believe that I should be given a 83 as a grade. I deserve the grade I was given because I worked hard for it. Another reason is that I did everything that was asked of me. I also respected the teacher and listened to everything I was told. That is why I think I should get the grade I was given. The first reason I believe I deserve an 83 is because I worked hard for it. An example of that is using my time in class wisley, not screwing around and doing other things. But I must admit I…
A weakness that I have is that I can be too empathetic with people. I am an emotional person, especially with certain subjects. But that could be helpful when I am talking with customers, that I will be able to relate to them, and what they are trying to say. What is one thing you do well? I communicate with people well. When someone has a question, I am usually good at explaining the answer to them. So when a customer is confused about a product, I think that I would be helpful to have there…
I was raised in a household in which intelligence and education were greatly valued. I was homeschooled until 6th grade and my mother, who served as my teacher, was never lenient on my brother or me. She worked us harder than a normal teacher likely would have. My mother often stressed how important knowledge was. Since I can remember, I have loved learning new things. Once I learned to read, I read everything in sight, with a dictionary at my side to look up words I did not yet know. Unlike…
The Significance of Flipped Classrooms In this paper, I will argue that flipped classrooms are beneficial and should be incorporated into all schools today. This is a controversial topic in education today. The more this method of teaching is incorporated into the classroom more questions that arise from individuals who disagree with the method. A flipped classroom is when teachers record videos of lectures for the students to watch at home. The students then use their class time to work on…
to do a debate. We got to choose what we want to do. My group was arguing with another one about recess. My group was for it and the other was against it. It took a lot of research and in the end it paid off most of the class agreed with our side and I am here to convince you. We have a lot of reasons for it. First of all, we have a real big problem with people playing games during class time. Why you ask? Well I found a answer for that, when students and I have to admit I’m one of them sit…
In this paper, I will first discuss why the principle of alternate possibilities (PAP) is true by sharing David Copp’s example of PAP and moral responsibility. Then, the argument will be rejected by Frankfurt’s example of a person being neither indifferent nor stampeded by a threat so the person is still morally responsible. Finally, I will show why Frankfurt does not defeat PAP because there are actions that are bigger than the threat being made. To start with, I will explain why the principle…
become a teacher has been the culmination of a lot of different things. When trying to decide what my next steps would be after high school I did a lot of self-reflecting and realized teaching children was where my heart was. I had a moment in my life that really made me realize why teaching is the career path I should take. I became the leader for the three through four year olds at my church and fell in love. Nothing put a bigger smile on my face than when I woke up on Sundays knowing I got to…

Teacher Insurance One day during the week of July 2015, our Golden Apple class had a debate over the pros and cons of teacher tenure. Tenure for teachers is like insurance on the job.

Several Golden Apple students and I participated in this debate, there had been about 20 or more of us in this classroom and as I cannot remember everything every person in the room said, I can recall some very…
