I'm sorry for not writing this in Spanish but I think I can only express this in English. I would like to first start with an apology on behalf of the rest of the students in AP Spanish for the appalling behavior they have shown. Bombarding you with emails is unacceptable and should never be the solution to a bad grade. Personally, I believe the grades you gave me on the culture comparison is fairly justified and the only thing I will do in the face of an 80% is try to do better next time. The rest of the class should realize that and stop causing an uproar over something small. There are many more important things to worry about. However, I don't think you realize how common this type of thing is. You said that we shouldn't feel stress, but we, as a whole, are very stressed because of peer, parental, and self pressure to perform well in school. Just last week, the students in AP Chemistry repeatedly emailed Mr. Amendola about a question on the homework that would have been 1 point out of over 1000 total points for homework, which is a section that counts for 10% of the marking period grade (the question means absolutely nothing). Here is a quote from his response: Do not spend all of your time on one question. Keep in mind that while missing entire assignments will have an impact, missing a question or two on …show more content…

We take this sort of stuff way too seriously and it's been a problem for a long time. Unfortunately, the reason why I think this continues even in senior year is that teachers are indulging students who "beg" for points from teachers. I don't know how to fix the problem but I think you did a good thing pointing out how rude and demeaning it is for teachers to receive multiple emails asking for grade increases. I believe that an easy way of handling it is sending an email to everyone who emailed you basically saying "too bad" and leaving it at

This conforms to the notion of “hand over principle”, Dunphy and Dunphy (2003). When the students work independently, the teacher should have his strategies to deal with frustrations ready. He has to make sure that the contents of the task fall within the students ZPD and a good interaction with the students is provided, Wood, Bruner and Ross (1976). Students should be given meaningful feedback which is a very crucial point, particularly a verbal one as it allows a dialogue through talk. Misunderstanding can be picked up and addressed.

Lastly, I would like to express my great disappointment in the experience with Professor Nuzzo in this matter and the way the issue has developed. The Grade Appeal system is afforded to the students at St. Francis and it should not be construed as a personal attack against the professor or the school as if I was to “attempt to dictate how I should be graded” or I was “attempting to rewrite the syllabus and rubric.” Regardless of whether or not students’ appeals are ultimately approved, the students should be allowed to appeal their grades when they believe there are reasonable grounds to contest; And it should provide the student with an opportunity for a meaningful review without being accused or scorned. I find Professor Nuzzo’s tone of voice in her response to my grade appeal extremely hostile and contemptuous. I have been a student at St. Francis since 2014, and have never experienced such difficult communications with any professors at St. Francis before.

Part A – Both “Se Habla Espanol” and “Mother Tongue” are titles that manage to grab attentions; however, each does so in its own way. “Se Habla Espanol” is about a Latina women who is attempting to learn how to speak Spanish. Throughout the story, she talks about the struggles to learn it and the judgement that she receives from others for not already having a knowledge it. I feel like the simplicity of the title is what makes it so attractive for a reader. It made me want to read so that I could attempt to understand why she chose what could be considered a basic Spanish phrase when the translation of the title is “Spanish speaking.”

Castro, Ph.D, the author of this article, has effectively used and appeal to the readers emotions, a mass of reasoning and logic using statistics, data, and and personal experiences to get his point across. He conveyed the message that Spanish is threatened in the United States due to many reasons. Even as a non-native Spanish speaker I can see the value of keeping your ancestral language alive. I can’t imagine losing English, my native language in the future or how it would affect my culture and heritage. In the future I can see this author being successful as they know how to write based on their audience.

These were just extra obstacles that were put in my way for reason to benefit at all, considering I was told that junior year was already the hardest year for any high schooler anyway. I was furious yet frightened to see the thing that I value and work for, to be turned against me and everyone else. Across many schools within Jeffco, students all together performed a walk out during school to protest this issue to point. But this walk out was only the beginning of the Jeffco Recall that many teachers, parents, and students supported and carried out throughout the year. And while we did have to compensate for their poor decisionmaking that year, the recall was eventually set forth and finalized at the beginning of my senior year.

The Hispanic community encounters various barriers to treatment that lead them to not seek, drop out, or have less effective outcomes than other social groups when receiving treatment for substance use. Therefore, the access of treatment for Hispanic immigrants, documented or undocumented must improve. This section of the paper will introduce some ideas that research provides on how to improve access of treatment for the Hispanic community. One aspect that needs to improve is to increase the body of research about this population. Research addressing various types of interventions that are effective with the Hispanic population can be beneficial to develop a more effective treatment approach for substance use disorder in the Hispanic community (Alvarez et al. 2007; Amaro et al., 2006).
