placement as well as interactions with the clients is helpful in helping other students in class but also in understanding the classroom content as well. For example, a client in the office is suffering from mental illness and is struggling to find stability in life, the skills acquired through field placement from working with professional social workers can be helpful to another student in class who is possibly working with the same type of client. Also, when faced with a situation in field…
clarifies a point in her research “6 Key Finding about Going to College,” “College grades are more satisfied with their jobs.” In college, especially in these days, students who finished their studying in college are finding “themselves on a career path, rather than just working at a job to get them by” (Caumont). From this point, students who are doing well in college’s life, and who are responsible for themselves in organizing their time, their work, and their life, too, are successful in…
levels of education, from elementary school through university, grade inflation exists: too many students get too many A’s. I am not saying that no student should get A’s, but students have started to expect A’s, thinking a B is somehow “bad,” even though, in reality, a C is supposed to be average. In a nation where everyone is special and participation trophies are handed out like candy on Halloween, students see C’s as terrible failures, B’s as poor scores, and A’s as the only acceptable…

During the beginning of my lesson, with the entire class, I had the students help another student through a multiplication and division problem. When the students were helping another student, I asked the students prompting questions that allowed them to help that student effectively. For example, during the multiplication problem, I asked the students, “Is this answer complete?” to which a student responded with, “no.” When the student responded to this, I asked then the simple question of why…
are inherently unequal.” Meaning they believed that in order for equal education to take place, there cannot be any sort of segregation in schools. Segregation of African American and white students in schools, would never lead to truly equal education. It also violates the 14th amendment. By segregating students in public schools, there would be an idea that whites are superior to African Americans. Which may hinder the African American student’s education and psychological development. Later…

The standards by which students are allowed into college must be transformed to accommodate students of all backgrounds, not just the privileged who have the spare time to cater to the current standard. An average student in America is drowned in school assignments, studying for tests, doing extracurricular sports and joining clubs that look good on applications, working or doing…
