In Kurt Wiesenfeld’s article “Making the Grade”, he address the issue that students want a higher grade than they deserve. He goes on to prove this be by giving examples of previous students that he has had and what can happen when students get the grades that they want and not what they deserve. In Wiesenfeld’s article he states that about ten percent of students that take his class do not care about their grades until final grades are over. “You might groan and moan, but you accepted it as the outcome of your efforts or lack thereof,” Wiesenfeld stated.
The Trap of Student Loans Student loan debt is becoming an increasingly startling problem. Rising costs of college and lack of financial aid is driving students to take out loans that offer only high-interest rates and inflexible repayment options which can trap students in a vicious cycle of debt and default. The best solution to this problem is to have federal funds donated to all public colleges’ endowments yearly to use the money to offer more financial aid, require all public colleges to provide a minimum amount of financial aid based on expected income of the student and family, and to require that all student loans be subsidized with interest rates not exceeding 0.5%. The costs of going to college have risen tremendously and are continuing
I think that this shows that no one cared about their grades as much, as long as they graduated, because they focused on learning the concepts or ideas taught in the class. Today, I can attest to struggling through some classes in high school and not actually putting in the effort and trying to learn from the class. A lot of the time, I can become too focused on keeping my 4.0 GPA, which is not a negative thing, but it gets in the way of me truly learning concepts for my long term
Wendy Bradshaw was a teacher. She has recently resigned, and the resignation letter she wrote has gone viral. In the letter, she discusses how she is fed up with the reforms that have taken place in education, which she calls "misguided."

The role of an educator is not only to teach the many children that come through our classrooms, it is essential to form relationships with students that makes them feel like they matter and that goes above and beyond a teacher's job.

This book has shown me to let go of biases I may hold, because they will only hold me back as a teacher. In doing so the only people that would suffer is my students. The third theme presented was corruption. Allocation of money will affect me as a future teacher.

Way back when: parents knew when to be responsible for their children’s academic accomplishments – and students themselves – this seems to have diminished completely. the times have completely changed, nowadays, many people AKA ignorant parents, believe that it is the high school itself, teachers, and the government that are responsible for students getting good grade because the arrogance and sense of pride levels have risen so much, they are too prideful to believe their child could possibly fail and it be their fault. Before, when you got an F, your parents would blame you, ground you, and make you write “ill do my homework” 100 times on a piece of paper; today, they would rather take the time out of their day, go to your school and demand
Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.
