Life is about people’s perception, what they believe and what their choice is. We often face many choices in daily life, and there is no right or wrong, because it is all based on point of view, but morality and humanity are the line separating ‘dark’ and ‘light’. Real life cases might not as straight as the case in the norvel, it could cheating on your loved ones or one of your tests, connected to the norvel is we usually have to make a choice too, it's all about the conflict between id, ego and superego. There is story i hear from one of my teachers about one of her students. It was in a math test, one of her student is cheating, she know she should call him out and give him a zero, but didn’t end up doing that, instead of calling him out, she pretend she didn't know about it , and tell him that he did well on his test, he should continue with the good work.
The student was shock, in the end he tell her the truth and promise he won't do it again. Maybe for the teachers the best choice was call him out , but that’s not the best thing for students, sometimes right and wrong just depend on perception and point of
In addition to these standards, rights, and responsibilities, all teachers need to be consciously aware of possible problems dealing with students on an individual basis. In their mission of providing for the safety and welfare of all students, teachers can sometimes find themselves in situations that may be detrimental to themselves and their students. In practice, knowing how to avoid these situations is key. Dr. Troy Hutching’s presentation (Developing an Ethical Framework for Teacher Student Relationships: A Continuum of Responsibility, Nov. 1, 2011 Northern Arizona Univ.) was an eye opener. He provided the following startling facts: Shakeshaft (2004) reported 9.6% of grade 8-11
In this case the teacher should inform the head teacher about this incident and if may involve the police if necessary.
The first step the teacher should take is discussing the student’s concerns with the teacher. This discussion may lead to admission of guilt or a denial of wrongdoing. The teacher in question, however,

After the principal tried running after her, he stopped by her classroom to tell the teacher what was going
In chapter one, two themes stand out as ones that seem to be included throughout the novel; fighting to live and religion. Towards the end of the chapter, the narrator speaks of extensive injuries, including anemia, dark urine, and leg swelling. These, along with the others mentioned seem to be a sign that Pi had to survive a very difficult situation. He would have had to fight hard to live through that situation, so he must have a strong will to live. Religion seems to play a large role in the Pi’s life, based on the first chapter. He studied religion in post-secondary, and mentions that he has odd religious practices. For someone to study religion, it must be a large part of their life. Also, if he has been through a life-threatening situation,
The student even missed the maximum amount of days allowed before being forcefully dropped from the class. Then had the nerve to ask for extra credit for attending the class that they did show up too. This is beyond ridiculous. This student’s entire attitude works against their selves. The student was not being a creator when they sat there and continuously did nothing to help improve their grade. They were also not practicing their active listening skills very well. They asked the teacher over and over what their grade was and how to improve it now that there was literally no time left to do anything about it. It was like they were assuming that if they corner the teacher and bugged the teacher enough that the teacher would feel compassionate or something and improve their grade. As a student myself I know that there are times when I feel like I don’t have the time to do the work like I should however to expect my teacher to be responsible for helping my to improve my grade at the very end when I have made no attempt before is unrealistic and completely unacceptable. You need to own up to your own failures and grow
The student was observed from a separate room while completing reading. She demonstrated twisting and turning on sit. She gazed around the classroom at students as they were completing the assigned reading task. She leaned forward over desk and placed book on the far end of the table instead in front of her. She was side lying in chair and then place left foot on chair. She pushed chair away from desk and sat with back to table. She began to manipulate pencil to open school bag. She opened the school bag and attempted to search through it. She continued to disturb students who sat next to her by moving closer to their table. She only resumed classroom routine after the teacher prompted her to seat at her table. Before coming to class the student was instructed to copy sentence on Hi-Write paper. The student states that “she does not copy.” While in second class, she was asked by her teacher to copy the sentence and she
Conway dealt with the situation correctly. Mr. Conway should have sent the student out of the class to the principal's office and or asked Anthony to apologize to me for disrespecting me and becoming rather aggressive with the female student and I. At the least, parent contact should’ve been made at the end of the day for his misbehavior and resistance. I do understand that Mr. Conway was busy with another student in regards to a different reading assignment and may not have noticed situation, but I would have at least intervened and made it completely aware to Anthony that his behavior is unacceptable.
The subconscious of the human mind has a depth that will never be understood. The possibility of two personalities, a coexistence of dispositions, is even daunting at thought. What if the beast and savagery of man was ready to strike at any given moment? What if another temperament could lash out of a single being, that entirely contradicts their constant, natural state? After reading Life of Pi, questions like these are expected to arise. Pi’s extravagant tale of how he spent his time at sea highlights the extreme capabilities of man, and through the creation of the story his unpredictable, mental state is clear. Pi argues that humans choose their own story, and that it is better to choose a good story than a true story. This is entirely
Faith within the life of Pi plays a significantly important role in the survival of Pi and his will to live. This is portrayed throughout the novel and can be seen to be an influential part not only in Pi’s time on the lifeboat but throughout his entire life. Pi’s connection to faith allows him to believe in the positive outcome of survival and prevents him from choosing to take the easy way out. Throughout the novel, Piscine Patel refers to the importance of having faith in general.
The book Life of Pi by Yann Martel, tells those to look in different perspectives and teach the meaning of faith. With two stories provided at the end of the novel, one would find the human story to be factual for it conveys the journey in a realistic view, preserve sanity, but some would believe it to be true as those have a limited amount of knowledge about the world. A realistic story is more believable to those who have not experienced it themselves, and when Pi mentions a story with “dry, yeastless, factuality” (336) to the reporters they get a better understanding due to the emotions he conveys about his suffering. This in turn, reflects how some truths are usually the horror of reality to be relatable that one would reject it which is
This novel is about faith and the fact that Pi had strong faith was very valuable because it helped him being stranded at sea. Faith helped him form a routine to keep him busy and also his prayers gave him hope. Pi’s religion provided a way of escape from the brutal reality that he was eventually going to die.
In the beginning of the novel, Pi’s father teaches him a horrifying lesson through the acts of the tiger Mahisha. His father showed him what happens when a
