The Role of Teacher One rainy day all my friends and I were on our way to school in Mae La camp, Thailand. The ground was muddy and so slippery we couldn’t walk over it, but we were feeling happy and excited about school. We got there late, so we were feeling nervous. My teacher stood there looking at us like we were criminals or something. Her face was red and her eyes were wide like a zombie. She called us to go up. We were shaking and scared and had no idea what will happen next. Then we all went up, stood up front of our classmates, my hand are shaky, I put my head down because I was afraid to face the others, it’s so embarrassing when you got beaten with a bamboo stick on your thigh. My face was red, my eyes were full with tears. For so long I felt sad and embarrassed. After that I couldn’t walk for few days, my legs were hurting and I couldn’t sit properly, it hurt whenever you tried to sit. Ever since then I didn't like going to school, I’m sure my friends felt the same way as I was. Because so many refugee students don’t like school, they ended up selling streets foods and others ditch., When they wasn't in school they helped their parents sells foods. Some of them went fishing with their dad so they could have some money for snacks.Teachers play a big role in our life because if they don’t treat us right, no one wants to stay in school and most students become uneducated. Techears in our camps are not skills teacher which mean they didn't graduate from college or University, they just finish high school and teach. They are free to beat kids if the kids didn't do what they asked. Teachers in camp got low wages.
Kids in our camp were poor and they have to help their parnets to take care of their sibling. In school we had to learn 6 or 7 subjects a day such as Thai, English, Myanmar, Karen, Math, Science, and history. So most student can't handle all those homeworks and works that they had to help their parents. If you are muslim you have to Islamic school too at evening, which is too much for kids. Then most people end up with no education and they have to work hard and they don’t even know if their boss trick them such as when they work a day they should get at least 500 bhat, approximately $15 in
Ayers in chapter 8 of “teaching with conscience in an imperfect world” discuses the about what is considered realistic for students and teachers. What is a reachable change that a student and teacher can hope for in this education system. The issue generally arise if we over estimate what we want in a perfect education system. However, it is generally seen that we tend to under estimate on our expectations. An education system should focus on development of independent thinking in an individual.
The creation of schools is one of the leading ways to produce hope and stability in refugee camps. Many would love to go to school because, currently they have no other option, but to teach themselves. Refugees can recall having great memories of their past school experiences, which they use as motivation to continue to learn. On account of my involvement with a refugee relief organization, I have been assigned the job of creating schools in the Chechen refugee camps of Chechnya. The primary means of survival and daily focus for these refugees have been through humanitarian aid. That assistance is made
Poverty hits children hardest in the world. When I was younger, the Armenians had faced the hard facts of poverty after they break up with the Soviet Union, war with Azerbaijan, and a devastating earthquake. My family moved into our motherland Armenia while our nation was going through these huge dramatic changes. Furthermore the poor economy and inflation destroyed numerous hopes and futures. In the novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie, Arnold Spirit, describes his hardships involving poverty living on Spokane reservation. The people on the reservation are stuck in a prison of poverty. They are imprisoned there due to lack of resources and general contempt from the outside world, so they are left with little chance for success. Like Arnold, I also went through hardships regarding poverty and education.
Seventh grade, bowl cut fresh, skinny jeans tight with poppy orange Asics to complete the look. It was the day I had been dreading. Today was the day that a group of thirty-two thirteen-year-olds was to travel to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. I remember feeling nervous, my stomach sinking, shaking on the bus while my friends giggle and talk. I understood how incredibly horrific the Holocaust was and knew that once I stepped into those exhibits I may, at any time, lose it. As we pulled up everyone got off the bus, we all proceeded to the entrance of I didn't. I was able to stay composed the entire time which was fairly surprising. I broke that night outside of a Subway near Port Hueneme. I remember slamming my fist into a concrete
We lived in the ghettos for all of 2 weeks before we were taken to a camp. My family was split up so my mother, my sister, and I were together and my Father was alone. The work camps were terrible they forced us into hard labor my mother and I knew how to sew so we were put into a work group to sew up soldiers uniforms. I ber one day my mother pricked her finger and got blood on one of the uniforms she was beaten by an S.S officer and yelled at continually. If I ever made a mistake or did something wrong my mother would take the beating for me. I objected every time but she would never let anything happen to me. My older sister was not good at sewing but luckily was put near us she helped cook for everyone in the camp. I will always remember the day of the selection my mother was not chosen but I was my mother tried to talk me into believing that getting picked this time was good and that we needed to say goodbye because she was leaving. I knew the truth though. The next day an officer called out the names of the chosen people my name was called. We were told we were going to take a shower. When they stopped us we were in a big room I did not see any shower heads “Gas chamber” I heard someone mumble. I knew my last breath was going to be soon. All at once gaas entered the room coughing came from all around. I said my last goodbye and said a silent Kaddish for myself and the people I was with. I then took my final breath while many
It has become common in the modern era of America to forget that many nations are poverty-stricken and lacking proper education around the world. In the United States, most children take a bus, are driven, or walk a short distance in mild weather to reach school. The buildings themselves are typically modern and clean, with an abundance of high quality coloring supplies, binders, and notebooks. Pakistani children get none of these luxuries, particularly girls. Occasionally, parents are able to send their children walking to a small school building with underdressed and underfed students where often no teacher is present, but even this poor form of education is a rarity. Girls fare even worse with a 2:3 ratio of females receiving education to
Under these circumstances school and education are taking a big part in refugees’ lives for example it says, “I know Pink Boy will get me, but right now I feel smart” (Lai 188). This statement from the book “Inside Out and Back Again” represents how Ha is feeling back home again. She gets to go to school and feels smart just like she did back home. Ha is now becoming happier and feels like she is getting her life back. In the same way schooling and education are making refugees feel back again in the article “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” when it says, “Schooling is provided for children” (Gevert). This statement shows how schooling is helping refugees all over feel like they are back home again. They can get educated from the refugee camps. They may be overcrowded, but it is helping many refugees get a chance for there lives back. It helps refugees feel like there is hope on the other side waiting for them. In addition schooling and education is helping refugees when it says, “Getting better because we can go to school… couldn’t… in Croatia because we are muslims” (Lai ). This statement comes from the book “Inside Out and Back Again“ and is representing how Ha is now able to go to school, and doesn’t have to worry about her race. She feels like she belongs where she is now, and nobody can take that away from her. Given these points,
At the time, I was only 5 years old. It was my second week of kindergarten, I was not exactly comfortable yet. School was in session and I was playing house, being the dad of course, because I worshiped my father. The loudspeaker came on for teacher to check their emails or turn on the tvs. I turned around and my teacher was on the floor, her hands were to her face and her black eye liner dripped down her cheeks. Some of the students walked over and hugged her, teachers began to congregate. What was going on? Why were teachers all heading to the hallway and screaming for us to do the same? The ground underneath me shook and I began to cry. I didn’t know what was happening.
Paraphrase: In the refugee camp school students could be punished at anytime for any reason. Teachers would brutally beat the children for sometimes unrightful purposes. The parents of the children would always side with the teacher unlike America where the guardians side with their child.
It wasn’t long until summer, this being my last few days at this school. I really liked this school but mama said “Oh, you poor child we must go your father has just got promoted again.” I knew that was the end of that. Mama doesn’t like when I argue so I don’t. As my papa got home I said, “How was work.” He did not respond to that though so I took it like he did not have a good day. I thought to myself I wonder did he have a good day mama said he got promoted. As I walked into my room to change into my play clothes I heard my friends yell, “Dude you coming out?” I sighed, ”Yeah.” I darted down stairs and told mama that I would be back before dusk. I ran outside and a man came up to me and said, “Listen kid I’m goanna kill you if you don’t give that hat and that watch too, OR ELSE!” I started to run and he chased me to the city and of course I fell. The man grab me by the arm and said “if you eve-I cut him off “If I ever WHAT?” He punched me in the jaw and I laughed “A girl can hit harder than that!” For my smart mouth he did again this time my loose tooth came out and I told him “do it again might make ya feel better.” I finally out of his grip and when I got home I got in the shower and after I put my pajamas on. I woke up and got ready for school. I
Attention Grabber: Everyone has someone that they look up to. For some it’s celebrities, parents, or tall friends.
The future of the world is in the hands of the children. Whether the future be a positive or negative one depends on the children and the education they receive. The education of a child is so valuable that one needs to consider the importance of the child's education. Also, one needs to consider how to go about nurturing those bright minds so one day they can become independent individuals. As Educators, one needs to be aware of the short-term effects as well as the long-term effects in which education may play on the child's views of the world.
It was my first day of dance class at The Beat Dance Company and I was terrified. I’m not going to make any friends, nobody is going to like me, the teacher is going to be mean. I was standing in the hallway of my new dance studio crying to my mom that I did not want to go in when the teacher came out to get us. The teacher was towering over me like she was a skyscraper and I was an ant. She had very straight red hair and her face was covered in freckles. She was wearing a bright purple leotard with a black skirt. My mom walked me
Draft speech of Mrs. D. Purandeswari, MoS-HRD (HE) as Chief Guest on the occasion of the Annual Day of the Rainbow Concept School, Mahaboobnagar, A.P on 9th February, 2007 at 5.30 p.m.
In the speech “Remarks by the President in a National Address to America’s Schoolchildren” by Barack Obama, he encourages students to try hard in school because education will further their success in the future. President Obama uses the reasoning that with education students will have responsibility just like those around them to achieve high standards. Students must also try hard in school to get their work completed and not give up on their education and make going to college a goal of theirs. Students need to have responsibility, try hard on their education, and be aware that they have many educational opportunities.
