High School Case Study Gaby

One of the biggest characters in the book The Great Gatsby is of course, Jay Gatsby. At first sight, Gatsby comes off as a very mysterious individual, possibly hiding many secrets. A very rich young man who throws regular parties, is anonymous to most of his visitors and has no motive what so ever is very unusual. The truth unfolds later about his intentions, but at the beginning of the book, the reader is basically left hanging, confused as to what Gatsby really wants. He comes off as a person that's coming from a high social class, but not everything is what it seems. Often, people tend to judge someone by first glance, because it's easy to make an impression when you see someone for the first time. F. Scott Fitzgerald portrayed Gatsby's

As solely a student, I will tell you that Lauren is an amazing student. In a classroom environment, Lauren is knowledgeable about many subjects, participates often, and always seeks to learn more. Specifically in social studies, Lauren has an extensive knowledge of international, historical, dates; events; and people. With every book that we read in English, Lauren is able to find metaphors that I never would have noticed.

In “Against School”, Gatto told the readers about the boredom in the schools through the teachers because the students were as bored as they, the teacher, were. In school, boredom strikes amongst both teachers and students. Gatto said it best when he stated, “Boredom was everywhere in my world, and if you asked the kids, as often as I did, why they felt so bored, they always gave the same answers: They said the work was stupid, that it made no sense, that they already knew it. They said they wanted to be doing something real, not just sitting around. They said teachers didn’t seem to know much about their subjects and clearly weren’t interested in learning more. And the kids were right: their teachers were as every bit of bored as they were.” (Gatto, page 608). Most students do not want to be at school anyways so therefore, boring school work, unprepared teachers, and pure lecture class time would not help the matter. This next quote can still relate to today’s society, “Boredom is the common condition of schoolteacher, and anyone who has spent time in a teachers’ lounge can vouch for the low energy, the whining, the dispirited attitudes, to be found there.” (Gatto, page 608). When the teacher comes unprepared with a mindset of boredom then nothing will ever change. Although a teacher may have a routine for teaching , because they have taught the same material for years, they should never just recite it. The students have not heard this, because it is new information for

Most of her siblings thought that she ruined her great life. One of her brothers said, “She was supposed to be the one who was different and would make our mother proud. She’s so stupid.” Although this made Gaby want to give up on her project she still kept going because she knew it would change the way people think of teens who are pregnant or going through a rough time since they think they will not be able to accomplish anything. One of the main lessons that Gaby Rodriguez tried to teach with her fake pregnancy project was for young people to stop being mean and stereotyping each other. Instead, they should help themselves out when going through rough times.

If I was the principle of Metro High School I would use the four types of reinforcements to motivate the students to improve performance and attendance.* This change of policies would realisticly take place over long period of time with a good system of data collection and other types of control functions. It is also very important to have the parents of the children involve as much as possible.

Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university.

Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might

Overall, Fitzgerald incorporated a part of himself within the pages of The Great Gatsby. The fashionable, glittering side of Fitzgerald’s life is shown through Jay Gatsby. His aspirations and moral side was shown via Nick. The general dissatisfaction with his life was shown through the female characters of Daisy and Jordan. Through the storyline, one can discern that Fitzgerald was not appeased with his life and wished for a more glamorous situation. Ultimately, the characters Nick Carraway, Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Jay Gatsby elucidate Fitzgerald’s search for self-fulfillment and

She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards.
