...In the beginning of the story, Holden visits his old teacher, Mr Spencer to say goodbye to his before he leaves Pencey. Mr Spencer said some words of wisdom to Holden, but he did not care to listen and process what they actually meant, “Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules” (Salinger 12). So far in his life, Holden has not followed the rules as much as he should have. He did not care about what he was doing and was just “going through the motions”. The words of wisdom given by Mr Spencer can help Holden to understand that you can not take anything for granted and to be careful for what you wish...

...1. The “no head gear” policy has become outdated since people do not wear hats as part of their normal everyday attire. As stated by the ‘code of conduct’ from the school website, “to reflect that school is a place where we do things differently and to be respectful of the learning environment, hats and other headgear (other than religious apparel) are not to be worn in school.” Respect for their learning environment is shown in many different ways and not just by clothes and accessories. A student’s attitude, willingness to learn and behaviour towards peers and elders are the ways to show respect. Instead of banning hats completely, we should improve this rule by limiting them, to outside of the class rooms. As in today’s modern times hats have become a fashion statement for teens and banning it would be a method for oppressing them. 2. The cost of the food at cafeteria is very expensive and is not at par with what is available in the market for example, a freshly made, hot medium cheese or pepperoni pizza costs 5$ and a junior chicken burger from Mc Donald’s costs 1.50$. Whereas a slice of cold pizza costs 3.75$ and a ham burger costs 2.45$. The school should allow commercial vendors to sell their food at the school cafeteria while strictly adhering to food guidelines as it is done in post-secondary. 3. The course,” Mathematics for Work and Everyday Life” should be taught as a mandatory course and not as an alternative to academic or applied math. It teaches you math skills...

...some people, from the time they are in first grade, know they want to be teachers. For others, the idea to become a teacher can be a sudden insight, or a feeling that ferments for years in some remote corner of their consciousness. Regardless of where the idea comes from, for many, the images associated with becoming a teacher are compelling. However, as is often the case in life, the differences between images and reality can be stark, unsettling, and disappointing. Current uncertainties in the American, as well as world economies only serve to exacerbate the differences. This reality is the reason for this page. We all know that as the "Baby Boomers" retire and leave teaching in large numbers over the next ten years, probably more than a million new teachers will be needed to replace them, let alone hundreds of thousands needed to keep pace with the anticipated growth of student populations, the current world-wide recession notwithstanding. Perhaps you will be one of these new teachers Perhaps not. The current world-wide recession as of February 2010 has had some impact on public school systems hiring new teachers. In some areas there are hiring freezes, increased class sizes and cuts in courses offered, all of which affect hiring. This situation likely won't last more than a few years, and teachers will be hired, but probably at a much slower pace, affected possibly by the decisions of older teachers to stay longer in teaching than they originally planned. My advice is to...

...Cole Cannard Wr 115 Boring Teachers on Campus Picture yourself sitting in a classroom on the verge between a conscious state and a deep sleep, while a constant droning voice fills the background. You are in a college class trying to ingest valuable knowledge but just can’t seem to find anything worthy of interest in the teachings to even keep you awake. It’s as if the guy at the front of the class has been swinging a pendulum back and forth for the past hour. Many students have experienced these types of professors and have suffered in the grading department due to their lack of concentration during the dull class. These boring teachers waste the money you spent to take the course, provide a loss of potential knowledge and may even cause you to drop out of school. This is why these mind-numbing teachers need to be fired or at the very least made to wear a funny hat to keep the pupils attention. Yes, it may be harsh to say that these well educated monotonous passers of intelligence should be let go of their duties but it is the truth and nothing but the truth. The average college class costs around two or three hundred big ones to attend. Imagine what you can do with that much money, like buy a new toy or maybe pay half your months rent. Now imagine paying for a bad grade and no increase of intelligence whatsoever. That would tick me off a wee bit and I would be willing to drop a pretty penny to say that it would anger you as well. This is exactly what the average monotone...

...young man that has missed out on opportunities to become something more than average. I haven’t always made the right decisions when it comes down to it. Not anymore though, that ship has sailed and I’m hoping to better myself each and every day. Growing up I did what every kid does, get into trouble. Sometimes I would take it to the extreme, like when I was nine years old and almost burned my entire house to the ground. I’m laughing as I write and think about that experience. What kid wouldn’t love to play with fire at that age though? Or another situation when I was in high school and a teacher tried pulling a Miami Heat hat off of my head on “Hat day”. “Hat day” was a day where you were allowed to wear any hat that you’d like, but the teacher apparently had a problem with me in the first place and didn’t like the way I was wearing it. It was like he literally wanted to fight me over a hat in the middle of the hallway. I got suspended for a couple days because I didn’t “cooperate” with an authority figure… I’m shaking my head as I write this but these types of things don’t really impact your future as much though at that age. I grew up with an older brother and the things he did really influenced the way I did things. Now he is three years older than me so you could probably see the influences he had on me and those weren’t really appropriate at my age as they were at his. This is pretty much the time frame that I got into a lot of trouble, as you could probably guess. ...

...Rosalind Teague Professor Lefler November 24, 2014 Final Argumentative Essay Student’s should feel free to wear anything When a person wakes up in the morning, should they feel more prone to go for a uniform or their regular “street clothes?” Eighty percent of adolescents are more likely to pick the regular clothes because they want to have their own style (Mitchell; Knechtle 3). Do students’ feel more confident when they are dressed in a uniform? A girl in “Dress Code Blue” said, “I feel uncomfortable in uniforms, and if I feel uncomfortable, then I feel lazy and don’t want to do anything” (DaCosta, 4). It is a drag to go to school knowing that people are more than likely to look like everyone else? A lot of students are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this decision. Did you know that Americans spend around $1 billion per year on school uniforms? (School Uniforms). The topic on whether or not to wear uniforms is not beneficial to the students, or to parents, due to the fact that they’re unaffordable, they do not prevent gang affiliation, and they do not give students a sense a sense of individuality. One of the major issues students’ have with uniforms is that they are unaffordable and parents should not have to buy the uniforms. Over the years parents should have complained about how the uniforms are so expensive and how they are having financial problems. “In addition to finding that the level of parental perceptions of the cost of uniform, the survey...

...During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there were many important things that occurred in the history of America contributed by women. During this time period, there was much differentiation in gender roles between men and women. One person that sees the differentiation among gender was a woman named Martha Ballard. Laurel Ulrich was a woman that analyzed Martha’s diary through her book called, “A MidWife’s Tale.” According to Laurel, Martha was born in Oxford, Connecticut of 1735. Martha’s maiden name was Moore. She later married Ephraim Ballard in 1754 and had nine children, three of which that died in 1769. Martha’s diary gives much insight on gender roles and perceptions of men as well as women during this time period. But most of all, there were three areas that...

We are constantly trying to find innovative ways to connect the school environment to their real world. “It takes a village to raise a child” so every stakeholder involved with the school should make a conscious and consistent effort to do their part. The team I chose above consists of the principal who is the leader of the school. He/she is the tone setter. The school climate is often created by the principal. They can heighten or dampen the moral of a school which in turn affects the motivation of the teachers. Teachers know they have a job to do and most of us love to do it no matter what type of principal we have. However, I believe that if the principal doesn’t motivate or challenge teachers, then the teachers will not motivate and challenge students. Next, I would include the assistant principal, followed by a teacher from each grade level and the counselor. I would prefer the teacher representative to be the team leader or grade...

...Title: The Catcher in the Rye Author: J.D. Salinger Setting: Time: A long weekend in the late 1940s or early 1950s Place: Holden begins his story in Pennsylvania, at Pencey Prep. He then recounts his adventures in New York City. Themes: Alienation as a form of self-protection; the painfulness of growing up; the phoniness of the adult world Characters: • Holden Caulfield- he protagonist and narrator of the novel, Holden is a sixteen-year-old junior who has just been expelled for failing from Pencey Prep. Although he is intelligent and sensitive, Holden narrates in a cynical and jaded voice. He finds the hypocrisy and ugliness of the world around him almost unbearable, and he tries to protect himself from the pain and disappointment of the adult world. The criticisms that Holden aims at people around him are also aimed at himself. He is uncomfortable with his own weaknesses, and at times displays as much phoniness, meanness, and superficiality as anyone else in the book. • Ackley- Holden's next-door neighbor in his dorm at Pencey Prep. Ackley is a pimply, insecure boy; he often barges into Holden's room and is oblivious to Holden's hints that he should leave. • Stradlater- Holden's roommate at Pencey Prep. Stradlater is handsome, self-satisfied, and popular. • Jane Gallagher - A girl with whom Holden spent a lot of time one summer. Jane is extremely important to Holden, because she is one of the few girls whom he both respects and finds attractive. • Phoebe Caulfield...
