Irresponsibility In Hurley's False

“What’s everybody waiting ‘round for?” “And where’s Stacey?” demanded Little Man. Little WIllie smiled. “Stacey inside with Miz Logan. He got whipped today.” “Whipped!” I cried. “Why, can’t nobody whip Stacey. Who done it?” “Your Mama,” laughed Little WIllie. “Mama!” Christopher-John, Little Man, and I exclaimed. “Why’d Mama do that?” asked Christopher-John. “She caught him with cheat notes during the history examination.” So, as the book said Stacey took the blame for a big deal, Stacey didn’t care if he got in trouble. Stacey was just wanting to make sure T.J. didn’t get in trouble. Stacey took and showed a big sign of courage in Chapter

In the book, Philip failed his English exam and trying to go out for his track team. But his track coach informs him, “…actually a district rule- that you can’t be on a sports team unless you have a passing grade in every subject.” Phillip knows because he got a bad grade he will not be able to participate. If Phillip got a better grade on the exam he would be able to run track.

Stated in “The Myth of Inferiority” by T. Allen Culpepper, students who have hard lives are justified to having late papers, excessive absences, rewrite opportunities, but never plagiarized work. Throughout the article many examples are stated to support why. Students deal with financial instability, cope with economic hardships, and are always competing with obligations between family, work and school.

The students in this track were often labeled as “unruly, and not motivated” and of course the parents and students are faced with embarrassment which can be tragic just from an error this school had made. If Professor Rose had not taken that single Biology course his sophomore year in “Our Lady of Mercy” his educational career as a professor would not have been a success. It is always very important teachers understand the importance and responsibility of their role that is in these student’s everyday lives, they shape the way these students think, and understand everyday education we use. During the essay Ken Harvey mentions that he just wants to be average and considers himself to be below average while Rose is thinking to himself what an absurd comment it was. When an individual is constantly told that he or she is not smart they can’t do this or that it lowers their confidence and they actually start working at that level and not striving for the highest standard. Teachers and or professors have many responsibilities including the most important one which is knowing and making sure the student or child understands every single lesson they teach.

　　Jamal Wallace is used as a stereotype of the typical black boy in the Bronx who attends low level school and has more interest in the court as a basketball player rather in his text books. No one thought of him capable of doing anything other than playing basketball, and he uses that fact to hide his intelligence behind an academic grade of C average. He just did not want his

In this book, T.J is seen as dishonest for many reasons. He cheats on homework and tests, blames things on his brother, and steals from the Barnett store. He was held back into the seventh grade again, and now he has Stacey Logan’s mom for a teacher. With Stacey being his “best friend,” T.J tries to get all the answers to the tests.

Mr. Berg has had a great deal of trouble throughout high school. As his English teacher I know who he is and what he's capable of. Jim is not perfect he definitely was not a high school but I can tell you that he has improved and learned from his mistakes. On his last year of high school Jim received a letter stating that he had received an F for my class and therefore couldn't graduate because he lacked five require units. Jim managed to receive a D which helped him graduate. Jim realized that he had made a huge mistake by lacking off in high school which he now knew that it would affect him greatly.

Matthew struggled to pass the entrance exam but got in regardless due to a donation made by his father to the university. Devon thanked his father for bribing the tutors into letting him attend the university and promised he'd try his best to graduate. Devon rarely studied and if he did, it wouldn't last very long. He knew he would graduate anyway, because his father would have no problem investing in his future.

High School students are more likely to become a subject to plagiarism when their time and resources are scarce and an important assignment is due. Students tend to make decisions based on an instant want without caring about any long term effects. When an assignment is due and they only have a short amount of time to finish; their “mental capacity or, as we call it bandwidth” (17) starts getting taxed and they lose focus on their thought process. In Shair’s and Mullainathan’s Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much these two concepts are discussed. The author explains how “slack” is not appreciated and how Vigilance is important because if you don’t keep track of your resources, you are bound to run out of them. Scarcity is all about keeping balance of your many resources to avoid running out

"If I could teach him to read well enough so he could read about himself in the news, because that was something really important to him," this is a request a student-athlete asked Mary Willingham, a learning specialist at the University of North Carolina, when he came in for help with his homework (Ganim). Mary Willingham's job as a learning specialist was to help student athletes who were not performing well academically. But a new reality set in for her, when she found out that a lot of student-athletes didn’t know how to read or were not reading at a college level (Ganim). This is an example of how the National Collegiate Athletic Association has failed its student-athletes. A good student athlete should be able to determine their main

Avery is a mean and selfish coward and his actions show this regularly. TJ cheats on a test and blames Stacey without remorse or sorrow after Stacey took the blame for him. After school T.J. cowardly runs to the Wallace store to avoid Stacey. He was scared because he knew Stacy was upset because he did nothing to stop Stacey from being blamed for His cheating. Because he cheats again, T.J. fails eighth grade.

Reggie was a good role in Jim’s life more of a father figure. Reggie played basketball for a long time, but then Jim stopped

Jim was an ordinary middle school student with a need to be very organized. He attended Bighorn Middle School. In a land far, far away against the Bighorn Mountains. Which are part of the Rocky Mountains. He was always up on his grades and never struggles with any of his classes...that is until one day. He had to study for his fractions test in mathematics, but he also had to go to his championship basketball game. Not only would that be stressful, but he also had his grandma’s 75th birthday party to attend. He started thinking, how would he ever be able to study for his test? His concepts are the following: studying in work space, studying during the 30 minutes between his basketball game and his grandma’s birthday. Although, that would only

Levi Jacob came to my class as a requirement. All juniors in the state of Missouri must take Government and I was pleased to have a student that excited to discuss topic, learn more, and challenge the knowledge being present to him. Unfortunately, Levi had trouble in high school, mainly with attendance. I view this as a lack of interest or he experienced a level of boredom in many of his courses. I feel if give the change to explore topics of his interest that Levi would flourish in college. He was one of my favorite students. His writing was superior to many in the course and when assignment were turned in on time they were

First, Maliah has very poor time management skills if she just began her essay the night before it was due. Secondly, Maliah did not cite any of the books she obtained information from, if Maliah uses this information in her essay it is plagiarism.

Next time Maliah could avoid this situation for her next essay by better managing her time and write down every source she would like to use in her
