Imagine going to school and really succeeding; you understand everything, you’re getting good grades and all the praise you can dream of from your parents and teachers. But then you move up and things get harder, you don’t understand everything, your grades are dropping and you are scared that you will no longer get that praise. You have two options, you can either take on the challenge and get back to where you used to be, or you can sit down when you feel threated by the hard work. In “Brainology” by author Carol S. Dweck, we are shown research concerning those two options or “mindsets” and how we can change them.

Mental Health Services a Defense against School Violence by Robert Ross spoke to me on many levels. Concentrating on various school shootings action needed to be taken to find a solution to these violent shootings. Leaders came together including President Obama and Senator Rubio. The idea that it was “cheaper and more effective to stop violence before is starts” was a fantastic thought. In order to do so we must understand the source of the violence.
Article Review Eha Zulaiha | 1506736921 | English 5D ADHD: From Stereotype to Science, is an article written by Thomas E. Brown, a clinical psychologist and associate director of the Yale Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders in New Haven, Connecticut, and was published in the 73rd volume of Educational Leadership, an American magazine targeted for teachers and school administrators. In his article, Dr. Brown described how ADHD is not, despite popular beliefs, predominantly a behavioral problem. Instead, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) is a disorder that affects the way the brain manages its activities, especially those concerning focusing, reading, writing, and accessing stored memories. This article also gives suggestions for educators with ADHD-diagnosed students, explaining

This assignment is meant to detail certain scenarios in which a teacher may explore approaches to instruction to support a student’s physical, cognitive and socio emotional growth.

Education can impact people differently. For some people, the more knowledge they gain and receive will lead them to new ideas, thinking, and behavior. For others, education can be dangerous that can alienate or separate them from society. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein suggests that education plays a harsh and dangerous role in society therefore leads to negative and destructive effects on the creature. The creature has a thirst for knowledge and acceptance by society but his education only alienates him and contributes to his monstrosity.
The two person didn’t felt like they learn in school. Also, they felt being in school was insecure, force to be in a school with no communication and no thinking. Most of all doesn’t get enough help as
Joseph T. says, “Teacher’s morale is poor when class sizes are too large, and their time is spent disciplining rather than teaching”. Additionally, where there are many students in one class, a teacher’s attention just diverts to maintaining class discipline instead of coaching the students. Moreover, if a child is not getting good education, he might engage himself in other activities. As in an interview, Andre Hamlin describes a guy from a gang that when, there was nothing to do from school, there was no sports activity, he and his friends use to think what should they do and then end up by thinking, let’s break-into some house. This shows that an idle mind of a child can think of many dangerous activities, which he might think can be interesting to him.
School is a huge learning process where students learn and are challenged academically and socially. Ultimately, the stress, work, and dampened self-esteems are all key factors in preparing a student for the real world and helping them work towards being a better
The boredom that results from the busy work pressed upon the kids, has caused for a one way mind set. Gatto states how the education system has embedded the notion in a child's mind that the only way to succeed is to achieve the perfect grade. The human mind is unable to accept this idea because it is natural to rebel and express individuality. Which cannot be proclaimed through the design of the education system that forces unnecessary busy work on young minds. Not only are children bored but they are only being kept busy.
In the 21st century, education has evolved to serve individual interests as well as to develop critical thinking and interpersonal skills. Economic goals, which “are now the primary influence on public school policies, curricula, and standardized testing” (Spring, 2014), have been designed to prepare students for the workforce in an incredibly competitive era. However, there should still be a strong focus on genuine learning and comprehension of material, versus high test scores and letter grades. In order to have the most positive impact on the school community, policies should also establish a safe environment where students feel protected and supported. Mental health concerns have become an epidemic in nearly all areas of the United States.
Everyone has ineffable difficulties in their mind. When we were children, most children learned the same things at school. But, why are their lives going in different directions? Children grow up in different families that have different family values. Students not only just study in schools, but also they learn
