There are rules in school in order to keep the students in check. Young people can be destructive and don't always know right from wrong. I believe they should apply to all students as it would feel unfair to some people, causing them to act out. Elementary school and high school have many differences such as were allowed to chew gum, leave off-campus, eat in class, and bring our phones. As in Elementary, they have to walk in straight lines without talking, carry a pass to go to the bathroom, and younger kids aren't allowed to leave without a parent signature. The role of teachers in the behavior of students is to get them to engage in school. To give them a good experience where they actually learned something they will always remember. While students should respect each other, go to school, listen, and learn. Although this doesn't always happen. But everyone's going to realize at some point we need to do these things in order to maintain a job, a steady life. I admi

I have worked in 3 different classrooms at Ryan and each one has not had the same teaching style. I think that what Dr.Anderson said a lot of things that I now pay attention to and now I'm aware of what they think about when they make choices on how to teach and what to teach. In the kindergarten classroom I don't see much of a achievement gap.

The achievement and opportunity gap is shown in our classrooms every day. Many may not notice but colored individuals feel like a minority in the classroom which makes it harder for them speak up in class and ask questions when theyre afraid of being judged for not knowing the answer. Well at least thats how I feel. This is most shown in advanced classes, such as my LA class, the majority of the class is white and nobody seems to want to talk to me. Because of the achievement gap colored students arent as likely to get into an advanced class, and even if they do theyre still treated as a minority. Making us work harder for our place in the classroom.

Dr. Rob Anderson spoke to our class on Monday and had a lot of insight and advice to offer regarding the opportunity and achievement gaps, as well as education in general. It focused my attention towards what I'm experience in the classroom at Ryan, because an elementary school is generally where these issues first stem from, and it begins to snowball from there on. 

It is easy to get behind especially when workloads seem to be never ending. Most people have the tendency to procrastinate their work, which creates a viscous cycle of underachievement. The best strategies that get me motivated to get up and be productive are; 1) Make a list 2) Meditate 3) Yoga 4) Work out 5) Listen to some dank toons

When im not feeling motivated i always think about the consequences. Bad grades, grades dropping and not feeling satisfied. I strongly dislike my bad grades. It stresses me out to see that i have a bad grade in a class. My mom is always on me as well about my grades. Some strategies that i use are, alarms, set reminders, and its a bad strategy but stress helps pushes me to get my work done.
