Sherry's essay "In Praise of the F Word", I enjoyed very much as the title you expect she is talking about the F word in profanity terms. But after getting started you realize that's not what it's about but about failure. Sherry also talks about how telling a student he will fail encourages him to change his attitude and care. The essay also makes a point about education now days that if you just pass someone on there not getting educated but on there way to failure. Failure is a strong word and I know personally if I am told that im going to fail something i'll strive to do better in the fear of not passing or succeeding at something. I also experienced myself as I hate math with a passion. My freshman year in high school I was in spanish, and my teacher was one of the track coaches at the time. Well I took advantage of that and would rarely show up, until she told me she was going to fail me if I didn't start showing up to class. I was in shock so I took it seriously and did end up showing up to class and passing. Sherry's essay was good and made excellent points, as well as telling what teachers are doing today and what needs to be done about it, letting kids know they can and will fail if they don't try.
Baker's essay, School vs. Education is very realistic to what we see everyday with children. Children are taught at a very young age how to act, talk, treat people based on what their home life is like. Once they get into school, they think that they can continue to be this way. Educators try to teach them that they are smart and should act and be accountable for their actions. This prepares them for college and their life after education.
In Sherrys essay "In Praise of the F Word" i liked this essay a lot. I also agree with her thought that you have to follow through with you threats and the parents should stand behind you because if not the students are never going to take you serious they will only think you are buffing. If you stick to your threats they will know that its not a game and you will fail them if they dont pick up the slack. I also think sherry has a good policy that worked back then and can work in the present if teachers would just apply it.
Baker’s essay “School vs. Education” in his reflection stated that children are constantly learning by what they see everyday. A child learns from his or her environment, what they see, how they see it, and what is done, affects every child at an early age. The fact that each child is so diverse when entering the school system it comes down to what their home life was like and pre-education. As I see it each child does learn to develop and grow or in some cases the opposite according to how they are treated by adults in their life, be it their parents or educators. If a child can play the roll and graduate he is a success, however sometimes that child finds himself struggling in college because of the lack of education that he actually learned.
Bakers essay, ''School vs. Education''. Baker states that children learn from what they see and hear mostly at a young age. Most of their bad habits are picked up from parents, home, television, siblings, or friends. And once they go to school they think that it is alright to keep acting out the bad habits, because they do not know any better. Also Baker states, that early in a childs life they learn that they are either dumb, or smart through their teachers. I feel that a teacher should never lable a student as dumb, because they are still learning and then they will think they are dumb.Instead let that student receive extra help in the subjects that they are lacking in.
In "America needs it's Nerds" Leonid Fridman talks about how nerds are made fun of in our society rather than being excepted and looked up too. Unlike America other countries such as East Asia, a kid who studies hard is praised and held as an example. Fridman brings up a good point when he said " Professional ballplayers are much more and better paid than faculty members of the best universities"(210). I think if our society remains to stay the way it is then all the kids will be inspired to be athletes makin the big bucks rather than be in the highly educated workforce that drives our society.
In Sherrys Essay "In Praise of the F Word", I agree with everything she talks about. I also think that if the kids dont learn the material then they should be flunked, but if the kids know it and prove they do and prove they are actually listening in class they should be passed. Also i agree with her because if the teacher only tells you they will flunk you and then they dont, then it just gives you the excuse to get by without learning anything.
Our society today is filled with slang terms that don’t provide the correct meaning to different things and people. In “America Needs Its Nerds” the author Leonid Fridman expresses how the English language can be very harmful and cause people to hide who they really are. Geek actually means something completely different than how majority of American’s today use it. No body wants to be called a geek or a nerd. This causes the majority of students to either lie about how much they study or dumb themselves down. In reality these so called “nerds” and “geeks” are the reason America can make advances in technology and other important things as well. Without these people we would struggle with scientific research and technology research as well. Fridman is saying that until these words change their meaning to how Americans use it, people will continue to hide who they really are.
Baker's essay "School vs Education" States that children learn everything at the age of 6 like how to curse and even murder a person. Baker also states that throughout high school, you are either smart or stupid. If your a smart student you will go to college and be very successful, and if you are stupid you will not amount to much in life. I can argue with this statement. I had all integrated classes throughout high school. They arn't like special education classes, but you learn the same stuff as the advanced classes only at a slower rate. Our teacher couldn't even understand the lessions she was supposed to teach us, so most of the time we had to teach our selves. I went against baker in that I was considered dumb by my teachers and yet I'm attending college. You don't have to be smart to farther your education but need to be determined.
In Mary Sherry essay " In Praise of the F Word" it talks about how tons of high school students will graduate receiving a diploma that they didn't deserve. Sherry describes a teacher who makes the students want to learn or they will flunk the class. The teacher doesn'nt believe in letting students slide on by in the back of the class, she gives the grae that the students deserves.
In "School vs. Education" by Russel Baker, we are graced with the cynical view of the author, though I have to admit, I do agree with him on many points. Baker states that, “by the age six the average child will have completed the basic American education and be ready to enter school.” He goes on to describe the negative influence television, parents, and teachers promote with their lack of care, and involvement with their child’s life and education as they continue their education. However, I believe Baker has miss titled his essay, and in so doing misleads the reader to anticipate an intelligent argument of how the school can help, or hinder the education of the child. Instead, though a rightful argument that needs to be addressed, it turns out to be a rant with no actual facts to support it.
In Baker's essay "School vs. Education", He talks about how children learn from t.v. and parents. I agree that this is true, because children only act out what they see. If parents wouldn't smoke or drink around they kids, then they wouldn't wonder why their child is doing the same thing.
well in the baker essay " school vs. education, I also seen that he mentions children learning from watching t.v. and there parents. I agree and i kinda dont agree because yeah! thats true, kids do learn alot from there parents and watching t.v. younger kids are more visual and they dont really think about things befor they do them. so when kids see things on t.v. and then see there parents doing it I think it just comfirms to the child that what they just seen on tv is ok to perform in real life. on the other hand sometimes it depends on the type of kid you have and/or the envirment that this child is in at the time. children have there owe minds and pick up on anything that they feel is right at the time.
In Bakers essay "School vs. Education", he says that children learn from observing their parents and or television.I agree with what baker says because as a kid i learned things from observing.I watched a lot of sports with my older brother when i young so now i know how play a variety of sports.Baker also states that"the child learns that success comes from telling testers what they want to hear".I agree because it may be the right answer but its the specific answer they are looking for.I once had a teacher to take a whole leader grade off my final grade because i had the right answer but not the specific answer she had given the class in notes.
In Bakers essay,”School vs. Education”, he states that children learn skills at a young age by observing what their parents do, by what they learn at school, and from television. I agree with Baker, children are influenced by whatever is surrounding them. Parents should be more aware of what they are teaching their children. What children see and hear can affect a child; if they are ignored they learn to act out for attention. If they witness disrespectful siblings being disrespectful to other adults they will quickly absorb the information and look for someone to test, like the teachers at school.
In Mary Sherry's essay, "In Praise of the F Word", she talks about how children should not be passed if they fail . I agree completely with this idea, and I believe if you tell a child they will fail that year if they don't do better, then they will try harder. If not the parents and the teachers must work together to hold the child back that year. Sherry states, "It would mean that teachers would have to follow through on their threats, and parents would have to stand behind them, knowing their children's best interests are indeed at stake." My daughter failed all her classes year after year, and they kept passing her as long as she went to summer school. If they had really held her back maybe she would have tried harder in school. The schools pass these kids, so the kids figure why put in the extra effort, if you are just going to pass anyway. Parents worry so much about their children, and want them to get through school, and succeed, and graduate with their friends, but not at their childs educational expense. If the children don't get the right education then they will not be able to do well when they get a job after school.
In the essay “America Needs Its Nerds”, Leonid Fridman, states that if Americans wants to be up to date in the 21st century, then they need to be praising the words nerd and geek, but if they don’t than us as Americans really don’t have a chance to succeed in society. To me, I think that sports are important, even though I don’t play one, but they are entertainment. But even though I was a book “nerd” when I was in high school, I still associated with the “jocks,” and I was never a social outcast.
