How to Get a Better Grade in College in the Book, The A Game” by Professor Kenneth J. Sufka

These rules are displayed throughout the school and are referred to continuously by staff and children equally. We also have class rules that have been developed by the children themselves and are a positive device for encouraging good behaviour. The children can then monitor their own behaviour as well as the behaviour of other children in the class.

The third tip is to not skip class because you don't want to go or because you don't have your homework finished. If the teacher, someone that is looking at you suspiciously or the principal catches you, you know that you are going to get caught. You will have to pay the consequences for skipping class. To add something else, you might miss a class discussion, or you might miss the homework assignment the teacher would be assigning for the class work for today.

Rules are rules, and rules are made to be followed by the students. For instance, if someone is acting inappropriately in the lab, such as not listening to the

In Chapter One, his first rule is to “go to class-always” (11). Dr. Sufka is trying to emphasize even if your friend did take notes, they are not what you would have done. As individuals, we all make notes differently, because our brains function diversely. One person may like to just have one full page of notes, which may be fine for them. Meanwhile, their friend likes to add bullets for better symmetry. Overall, Dr. Sufka emphasizes the importance of going to class, and he also notes there are not many excuses that can be made as to why you would not.

If anyone should be setting rules it’s students, teachers need to observe the way students learn and they have to help the students in what they struggle in.

Today, a school education is no longer an option or privilege, but rather a need in the United States of America. The author of “Against School,” John Taylor Gatto says, “Do we really need school?” (143). What if children will not go to school, then how will they learn to read and write? Education is the demonstration of learning things around us and helps us to comprehend an objective in life. Most people who believe that children need higher education in order to succeed in life. We often don’t understand why we have to go to school every day, but when we grow up we realize that children need to attend the school for a wide range of reasons, for instance; for new experiences, increased knowledge or career preparation.

Review: Throuout the quarter, I have learned that because children learn differently it’s important for us as teachers to make sure that the classroom rules are clear for all children. If there is confusion it’s important for us teachers to explain them so that the children are not confused. Because if the classroom rules are unclear or not communicated enoght to the children they will negect the rules and do what they want. In addition, if the children don’t get discipline at home or don’t have clear established rules at home those children will have a harder time adjusting to having to follow directions more than a child who has a regualr sechedule and clear rules in and outside the home. Finally, rules are pro-active tools because, with

                For many students, going to school is more than just a part of the daily routine. A lot of students see their role in school as an importance to their life, but as well to their future success. Many of us have gotten told by parents or teacher that school is an important

When a person is on the verge of failing a course, if they catch the failing grade fast enough, there are many things they can change to reach success in the course. The things they make different may have been their downfall to begin with. They could have never studied. While it is great to take good notes in class, what good are the notes if they are never practically used? Another part of studying is to look at the textbook outside of a classroom setting, and in college the student must buy the books don’t let them go to waste. To study properly

A person may either agree or disagree with Piper’s view. Since I have expressed his view on the matter, let me point out my own opinion. I propose that grade reduction based on attendance confuses a student because this unsuccessful form of grading causes a student to believe that his academic performance is not as important as showing up to a certain number of classes. In agreement to my opinion, Piper says that “my refusal to attend class does not excuse

One of the things they take into consideration is their attendance to refund money back. Which is understandable, going to class has its value but attendance should not be enforced. If attendance is being taken, it should not be a factor in students grade. Most times It doesn’t reflect their understanding of the materials taught throughout the course. Professors assume that enforced attendance policy would force the students to come to class. But that's not the case. Students has to want to be there to learn. There are other things that goes into the student

In so that “Nobody Has to Go to School If They Don’t Want To”, Roger Sipher argues that if compulsory attendance rules were abolished students who actually wanted to learn in school would receive the education they deserve. In the beginning, Sipher points out that “the decline in standardized test scores is an indicator that American education in in trouble.” He states one reason for the crisis is that “the mandatory attendance laws force many kids to attend school that don’t even wish to be there.” These students have no desire to learn; therefore, they do not get an education and they distract the students who want to learn from doing so. In his view, without compulsory attendance laws public schools would be able to eliminate the students whose behavior is negatively affecting the mission of the educational institute. In addition, Sipher notes that since students know they are going to be passed from grade to grade until they are old enough to drop out, or graduate; they fail to do their homework and receiving low grades does not motivate them to want to learn. In his opinion, there certainly would be a lot of positive changes to the education system by abolishing the attendance laws. In the end, Sipher says that schools should be for education and right now, they

Attendance: Attendance will be taken at each class. Students are permitted 2 unexcused absences. Upon the 3rd absence, your final grade will be dropped by 10%.

When discussing ground rules with learners it is important for me as the teacher to establish the rules of the student which may reflect their commitment to the teaching/learning relationship. My own ground rules would incorporate being fully prepared for lessons and ensuring I keep good time for classes to start and finish promptly. I would reciprocate to the students /learners’ commitment to completing assignments by making sure that all marking is completed and returned in equally good time. Further rules to ensure students get the most out of their learning experience encompasses my making sure all have an equal voice when expressing opinions (General Teaching Council, 2009).
