In my opinion students are the ones to blame for the rising drop out rate. It’s really up to the student to decide if he/she is going to stay in school and really try to graduate. Or they also have the choice to drop out. For example, Marcus the student in the Documentary “Drop Out Nation” really did not seem very motivated to finish his high school education. With a lot of support given to him by his Campus Improvement Coordinator named Brandi Brevard. Brandi would really push Marcus to finish high. But Marcus seem like he did not care he would leave his house really late and would arrive to school missing his first two class periods. Marcus also got into an argument on the last day of school two hours before school was about to finish with a student and ended up assaulting the student during class. It was just bad decision’s he made. Another student named Marcos who went to the same high school as Marcus. Marcos was also doing verybadly in school at first he would skip class and miss his class assignments. He had to balance his job with school. He also would miss some of his classes. This caused him to miss assignments and get low-level school grades. Because of his actions he was on the verge of not graduating. Suddenly he made a choice to do his work and show up to his classes on time. This resulted with him actually graduating from his high school.
Parents Rant
Parents also play an important role with student’s participation in school. In the documentary I seen on the PBS website called “ Drop Out Nation”. A student named Lawrence who attended Sharpstown High School located in Houston, Texas. Lawrence has a mother who has been in and out of jail. This affects him as a student because when he thinks about his mother’s situation he breaks down but his school counselor helps him get through it. Lawrence also acts up in school and gets in trouble a lot. In my opinion he acts up because he has no parents in his life to motivate him with school. Another Student named Sparkle who goes to the same high school as Lawrence. She does not have any parent or any home. She sometimes stays at the houses of friends. When she can’t find any place to stay her last resort is the street. This causes her to miss school or makes her come late to her
several schools to obtain reading lists, this is another form of ethos because it shows that prose is not on a rant , but actually tried to obtain backround info. 2. She wants the reader to know where shes stands on the method of teaching applied the schools . By being strongly emotional ,she only puts herself at risk to a few amount of people who would automatically assume that Prose is on a rant or protest against education. Her tone may be negative but she applies current examples and situations the…
who is doing nothing wrong. Holden is known for going on rants. His rants vary from complaining about how phony the school is, to the people he despises, and judging people who he does and does not know. Holden is on a downward spiral which are shown by his rants and rambling (Costranovo, David). This is a true statement, due to the fact that after every rant, Holden seems to get more and more against the world. Holden goes on more rants during the story such as when he says “mothers are all slightly…
the story does she recall all of the men that tried to pursue her, “ One Sunday afternoon in Blue Mountain, your mother received seventeen gentleman callers! Why sometimes there weren’t enough chairs to accommodate them all” (Williams 10). Amanda rants on and on about all the men that craved for her, just to mask her own disappointment that Laura was getting no gentleman callers at all. She continues to live vicariously through her young self, due to the fact that her own daughter is not good enough…
Chemical Reactions and Equations Purpose The “Chemical Reactions and Equations” lab was to observe physical and chemical properties associated with chemical reactions, to make note of/document the evidence of the chemical reaction, to practice balancing equations, to predict the products that form from a reaction, and to have an understanding; did the elements bond, break apart, or did they switch partners in the reaction (determine what happened to the reactant/s as they formed new product/s)…
wolf. I lied. It wouldn't let me do that, so heres part of an essay I read online. Don't you just hate essays? All through school, teachers make their students write essays, essays, and more essays. They expect their students to have an opinion on whether a story fits the ironic vision or not, or something like that, but the student probably doesn't even care. People should just stop writing essays. First of all, essays are so formal. The writer does their intro, with their thesis at the…
physical characteristics that distinguish it from another group is a reality. Chadsey High School, which is a high school with a lot of diversity in relation to people from different ethnic backgrounds. The majority group is African American students; the minorities groups are Hispanic, some Italian and Greeks. You cannot imagine the huge amount of discrimination against the minorities groups. It is unbelievable and disturbing how some of the teachers, the school police, and even the principle…
you about your question of how to tell whether information is reliable and credible is to stay away from Wikipedia. That website is usually wrong on a lot of matters. We were always taught in high school to stay away from it. Okay buddy now that my rant is over on that here is some important tips to remember. First thing you are going to want to do is decide what type of website is being presented. For example if it is an ad and they are trying to sell you something there may be false information…

pub where he states that he wants to do something substantial that will get the attention of the clubs as he believes they are exclusive, fun and will lead to a better life. Further in the film Mark and Erica get into an argument, which Mark then rants on his blog about her. In a frenzy he creates Facemash, which is a spiteful sight that encourages other guys to rate photos of campus girls against each other. This is the downside of social media where people can vent their anger about others for…
