RAISE

When I was in high school we had a religion class; one day the teacher asked if we wanted our kids to turn out like us and I was the only one to raise their hand. The reason why is because I’ve always been very independent and never cared what others thought of me and I knew the difference between good and bad. Yes, I did had times where I would be influenced by others, but as I grew I realized if it was even worth being someone who was not truly me. It’s sad to know that in the United States by…

The intent of ‘How to raise a black son in America” is to persuade the audience on race dynamics and the values instilled into him throughout his childhood.

I actually agree with a lot of your facts and statements in your article. Your argument had to do with how we raised our children. You shouldn’t raise your kid to believe that they are born smart. You should raise them with your encouragement and support them along the way. You should teach them that their effort is what will carry them and not their talent throughout life. A parent’s child who is brought up under the expectation that he is smart will tend to grow up thinking he will always…

There were two logical fallacies that stood out to me in “Why We Shouldn’t Raise Teacher Pay.” Jason Richwine’s idea that the brightest applicants make the best teachers is flawed. Great teachers require many traits other than knowing the material. Richwine also goes on to talk about the education received: Four-year degrees are…
