Kate the Great by Meg Cabot reveals that people are not always the way they seem.
In Ellen Hopkins’ Identical, twins Kaeleigh and Raeanne bring dark secrets to light. After the girls’ daddy, Raymond Gardella - a comely city judge - causes a car accident involving them and their mother, the family begins to fall apart at the seams. The girls’ mother soon after turns frigid, showing little to no emotion towards their daddy, and she eventually leaves them all. The loss of their mother, and their daddy’s loss of his wife, sends all them all into a downward spiral, which is just the start of the family dilemmas. Despite the family’s desperate pleas to have her back, she still refuses, and soon takes up an interest in the city politics. While she is gone, the girls’ daddy does some repugnant things that should have him put in jail, but only Kaeleigh and Raeanne know – and they’re smart enough not to open their mouths about it, or daddy will make it worse.

I believe the school endeavours to provide as much variety of opportunity as possible to allow each child to find something they are good at. The mission and aims show that the school recognises the diverse nature of its children and families, and their individual faiths, cultures and abilities and encourages its

The ethos consists of values and beliefs that contribute to the character of the school itself and the atmosphere experienced by all those who go there. The overall intention of the school is the mission it may be short easily recalled phrase or a single word. it usually overlaps with the vision or aims of the school. Aims of the school may be short statements like instilling a thirst for lifelong learning in children or giving pupils the confidence to take up opportunities when they are offered. the values of a school represent the moral code that links it with its local community and informs expected behaviors and attitudes of pupils the children are valued by the school its staff and by each other should be seen very clearly in the way that the learning and development culture is celebrated by the school from posters and displays. Children should be encouraged to learn together and to collaborate with each other and with staff members so that their learning becomes positive and effective way. Atmosphere at a school is often based around the attitudes of those who go there staff and pupils. it should be clear to all visitors that the school respects and values diversity and equal opportunities and that these things are part of the commitment of the school to a
Whilst a child is in your care, it is recommended that to maximise their learning there should always be continuity and consistency between you and their parents/carers. It is highly beneficial to have a strong and stable effective relationship with the child's parents/ carers, however you must never try to tell the parents/ carers how they should bring up their child or that your way is better for their child than theirs. Always respect the childs parents/ carers opinions, therefore building upon that they already know and want for their childs
I feel as though Katie Nolan lacks the ability to confront her problems. Rather than making a compromise with her drunken husband, she locked him away. This symbolizes that she may not be a strong willed, emotionally stable person after all. What if she only ignores her problems until they wither away into nothingness? I took a particular liking to Sissy. Although overly promiscuous, she appeared to be a very good person. - it’s just the way she solved dilemmas, through the use of promiscuity and lies. She was certainly emotionally available, however. Which is why I believe Francie and Johnny took a liking to her.
April Goss and Katie Hnida accomplished one of the greatest feats in sports. The two stand alone as the only females to ever play football at the collegiate level.
So is important that we, critically, self-assess our attitudes and values, to find out what is necessary to improve or to change, towards a better understanding of the school diversity, a better awareness of possible barriers and how to face them, in a way to promote inclusion on school environment. Not making suppositions about children and young people and have a wider knowledge about their backgrounds, interests, abilities, individual needs and positive attributes, will help us to provide more efficient, suitable and personalised support for them. Is also important, to take in to account, at all the time, the importance of that diversity and the ways to avoid discrimination. Schools (in their policies) and we, as component part of the school, have the duty to guarantee that, anti-discriminatory practice (and not discrimination), is promoted.
First and foremost, anytime we look at crimes against the innocent and vulnerable people, we tend to be more impacted. Although, most of us claim to be unbiased and believe in equality, we all place different values on different lives. To hear about a gang members being killed in a rival gang shootout, is less impactful as hearing about small children being killed by an Active Shooter in their school. I draw attention to this only to illustrate the emotional impact the Andrea Yates case had on the majority of our population. Cases like this cross a moral threshold that most of us cannot imagine. Be it the love we have for the children in our lives, or our understanding of their innocence. Unfortunately, according to Andrea Yates, it was this very innocence that drove her to kill her five children.
In the film ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze, the main protagonist,Theodore Twombly conveys the idea of alienation via technology and its possible effects, due to his depression via his divorce and his easy going relationship with an artificial intelligence operating system named Samantha. The idea of alienation and technology and its possible effects on human relationships is conveyed via the quote, “Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.” Theodore recently experienced is his divorce depression, and therefore becomes vulnerable, anti-social from society and isolated himself, by spending time with the artificial intelligence
Contrary to stereotypical belief, boarding schools are not just places for snobby, rich kids to dress nice and boast about their social status. In fact, “Boarding schools are an intensive form of education, in
This was a really good post. The type of parenting I think would work the best is Authortative parenting. And I think this is probaly the most common type of parenting we use today. I feel like this is the perfect balance between being a parent and being your friend. But I also believe that it depends on the child as well. Because a child can react to different parenting methods. For instance the type of parenting my dad used on me was uninvolved parenting. Even though thats how I was brought up I never got in trouble at school I stayed out of trouble outside of school and I'm in college so I feel it is entirely on the attitude of the child. I think it depends entirely on the child or children you are trying to raise but from a general standpoint

P.S. 46 philosophy is to make sure students no matter where they come from has an equal change of education. They want to make sure parents and students home traditions, language and culture is respected. Teachers shown this type of attitude, by giving students fair chances and not showing favoritism towards other students do to their racial background. This elementary school believed community members, parents, students and educators to unite as one in order to make sure students become great writers and critical thinkers. They also, wants students be prepared for college and career ready. Each floor I went to promoted ideas of college with posters. Most importantly they want students to be safe environment, for the best possible learning experiences. When I came inside the school, teachers who see me would say hello and ask if I needed help. This shows me, this school is place where people are welcome.
