Another reason of why New Hope School was broken and couldn’t pay the teachers was because the farmers had stop paying taxes which led the school to go bankrupt without no support from the government nor the president.

MOOCs or massive open online courses are online classes with many users and is said to be the future of education. This and many other things are said in The Year of the MOOC by Laura Pappano which talks of the advantages and disadvantages of MOOCs. I was asked to decide which candidate of Mendoza, Gregory, and Gallagher and I felt that all of them were qualified for it but Mendoza would do great in a MOOC because she will be more suited for it, she wants to walk a different path than most, and she can learn more about her culture from MOOCs. Mendoza definitely seems to not need to college for a degree as she hasn’t specified a job she wants to go into needing one which is important because as Pappano has stated that their are no rewards

In the past I was trusted with taskes that were of high responsibility. I started out as a expendible piece at Ebenezer Baptist Church I was very active and I was able to keep up with many tasks I was given. At times I was given multiple tasks that require both physical and mental strength and I was able to do both very well. That also helped me when i worked in Friedwald Center where multitasking was a must at that job I had as a

Another difficulty is aiming to understand the complexity of the different systems and how intricate they are and also having to explain that to client. A pro is that you can work with the client in identifying the strengths that is within them. Another pro is having the ability to work with the systems that is affecting the client and finding solutions to get them out of those systems. A con of using the learning model is that some clients don’t realize that some of the behaviors that they were engaged in which landed them in the criminal justice system is behavior that they learned. The crisis-intervention model is difficult because there are times when the social is not readily equipped with the tools or resources to handle that crisis and finding an alternative source or agency can be

In the piece “Tony’s Story”, the story suggests a cycle of lack of communication affects the community leading to isolation. The article “Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective” states, “Pueblo expression resembles something like a spider’s web—with many threads radiating from the center, crisscrossing one another. As with the web, the structure emerges as it is made, and you must simply listen and trust, as the pueblo people do, that meaning will be made.(159)” From the text when she says, like a spider’s web, she implies the pueblo culture operating in a cycle. In the story, Leon and Tony continued to separate themselves from their community.

David Brooks’ “Support Our Students” is an essay on the problem of low retention rates in higher education that I really wanted to support. As a community college student, it has been easy to see first-hand many of the problems Brooks has mentioned, from the need for childcare to the exhorbitant cost of textbooks. However, the essay, and idea, have two fatal flaws that lend it to reading more like a timed in-class essay for a community college final than as a legitimate critique of President Obama’s proposal to make community college tuition free. The critique ignores the very real problem of enrollment; that’s flaw one. Flaw two, Brooks’ own solutions are vague, unsupported, and lacking any kind of concrete evidence or sources.
Everyone has dreams to achieve: some people want to be lawyers, doctors, or engineers. However, the only way to achieve those dreams is through education. In the story, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, both Alicia and Esperanza view education and writing as a way to a better life to achieve their goals, and how through education they can be free from poverty and Mango street. First of all, Alicia is a friend of Esperanza, who because of poverty has suffered numerous tragedies throughout her life, and believes that through education she will be able to escape poverty and become free.
Many of the students enrolled at Second Start Alternative High School are referred as a result of their low rates of attendance at their current schools. Due to this fact, Second Start enforces that students must be present eighty-five percent of the time in order to receive credit each quarter. The policy states that even if a student completes all of their coursework, they will not receive credit if their rate of attendance is below an eighty-five percent. However, students who are chronically absent, rarely complete all of their assignments. Students who have frequent absences find it difficult to complete quality work typically because they missed the associated instruction.
School is a place where you go to spend about half of your life learning about topics that simply do not interest you or that truly won’t help you in the future. The U.S government tells the teachers what they need to teach in their schools for the class curriculums, so that the students can learn a healthy amount of material. The best thing is that many high schools fail to teach their students important things. Many teachers just pass students along through their class, because they don’t want to hold them back and deal with them for another year, but soon enough most of us move onto college. I’ve seen many people fail during college, because their high school did not push them to try to achieve great grades.
