Writer, Louisa May Alcott once said,¨Have regular hours for work and play; make each day useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.¨ I think this relates to how we work so much without anytime to relax. For example, in school we work for six hours with only a half hour to eat lunch. During school we should have 20 minute breaks every day because our classes are so boring, we sit around all day, and we need exercise. You know how all kids say how…
As you can see I'm not a huge fan on the idea of “homework” and I really do believe it should be changed because if you think about it it’s basically child abuse, kids having to stop doing their sports outside of school, increasing kids stress level, turning children to antisocial monsters. I think it’s cruel and should be changed. Are you happy watching your child stress over their time wasting on homework? Are you proud that you hardly socialize with your child because they are covered with…
There are many ways people define the term “laziness”. For example, as we discussed in class, we touched on how the older generations describe the younger generations as lazy due to the advances in technology that make what was once a difficult task an easy one to complete and out of jealousy. Laziness is viewed by many people as a negative characteristic to have, but after reading and analyzing Christopher Morley’s essay, we see how he views “laziness” and how he uses syntax and satire to…
Have you ever had homework but decided to be lazy, have a lack of fatigue and focus, or have you lied to yourself saying you would do your homework later? You my friend are going through a phase called procrastination. Procrastination is a huge issue for many people causing them to rush at the last minute and get poor grades. Many people do not understand that procrastination is not just about being lazy, but also about having lack of focus and it causes you to lie to yourself. If I go…
I chose to rework the syllabus of HED 750 (Student Services in Higher education) because numerous researchers have found the importance of student affairs professionals on campus diversity dialogue. Watt (2007) stated that student affairs professionals are the persons who may facilitate the discussion on diversity, so they should be aware of his/her own biases, values, and prejudices; understand the viewpoint of others; and develop skills “to develop appropriate intervention strategies and…
O’Keeney, a writer who writes an article “How to Make It in College, Now That You 're Here,” talks about how to be successful at college for anyone who will enter it. In the same fashion, Jaime O 'Neill, an English teacher, reports “If the Dog Ate Your Homework, Read This,” warns students for not being serious in taking classes in college. In O’Keeney’s and O’Neill’s articles, both of them express students in responsibilities ' life at college, and that benefit students in being mature.…
Process Analysis Students in school wonder if it 's possible to get all A 's in their classes or maybe just one class. I’m going to start off with experience from school. With some of the experience that I had in school I think it is possible to get an A but the student has to be on the ball and not slack off at the end. Students just have to try hard and not get distracted when they are doing their work or studying. If they could do that then there will be no problem on passing the class…
Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love. And you will never have to work a day in your life”. So, imagine a world where everyone enjoys their job. Imagine college students that enjoy doing their work and without feeling like they’re doing pointless homework, but how are we expected to choose one career out of thousands when were not given the opportunity to explore all the possible career possibilities. College students are expected to make life changing decisions only a couple months after…

The student is immediately overcome with a surge of anger due to stress and never seeing an ending to the long tunnel of homework. Just then his father walks in and the child snaps at him. Excessive amounts of homework can create an…
Experience Transitioning In four years of high school, students are usually prepared with tools for the new experience of college, considering the time teachers have given up to just get them through high school with the everyday lessons and countless homework assignments, these are the students that usually tend to say they forgot to hand in or just plain didn’t do it just because. There are usually categories that represent students based on work ethic shown in class, overseen by the teacher…
