You Get What You Pay For (P.147)
1. I do believe that there are other factors in the case that give more weight to one group than the other. Mr. Ross has established personal relationships with his students and he would like to continue to build their academic career in order to prepare them for college. However, Mr. Ross does sympathize with his fellow colleagues that lost their jobs, but his responsibility is to continue to challenge the AP students with the resources that they need in order to be successful in college.
2. The issue is that non-AP students, teachers’, and laid off teachers do not think that it is right for Mr. Ross to continue to teach the AP course outside of school even though the state cut the course from the budget.
• The school board do not have the right to grant Mr. Ross permission on teaching the course inside his home because Mr. Ross can choose to do whatever he wants on his own time. Also, Mr. Ross can …show more content…

I think that Mr. Stimson should follow the school rules by reporting Ginny. The reason is because Mr. Stimson could potentially lose his job if Ginny is caught smoking on school grounds. In order to prevent this, he could reach out to another colleague to see if they have the resources he needs to help Ginny fight this addiction.
2. If I was Mr. Stimson, I would protect myself by reporting the incident to someone that is above my position. Also, I think that you could do this ethically because my intent is to protect the well-being of another. Ultimately, I could defend my actions by arguing that I am protecting the lively-hood of another because if I did not report Ginny, than the outcome of her situation could have ended differently. For instance, Ginny could have been arrested and this could give her a hard time with trying to find a job or getting accepted into a

Therefore, I would first move him closer to the teacher’s desk, just as Zach was moved. Then, we would immediately start with effective rules followed by specific praise. “Powerful rules are clear, easily understood, reasonable, observable, necessary, enforceable, and are positively stated” (Curran, n.d., p. 15). So, for Patrick the teacher will sit him down (away from the class) and together the two of them will talk about and come up with some rules just for him. They will talk about the way people feel when they are trying to listen and cannot hear, because he “calls out during class or gives unrelated or inappropriate information during class discussion when called on,” (Curran, n.d., p. 6) or how Zach and other students feel when he “teases Zach (and other students at times) by name calling”

The article titled “Class Dismissed” seems to belong in the opinion column rather than being from a supposed objective and unbiased standpoint titled The New York Times Magazine. Articles too recently have been sharing their opinions rather than reporting facts and truthful events while the newspapers or magazines still claim to come from objective points of view. The validity of the author is questioned for a few reasons: he speaks for a minority of high-schoolers, Walter Kirn, the author, is 55 years old, he relied on his friend’s accounts of senior year for the article, and the author also acknowledges that the proposal he agrees with will probably be ineffective. The author, who graduated as a junior and has no experience as a senior, appears to have some pessimistic views towards students in their senior year.

The author points out what is wrong with education: the teachers and students do the bare minimum and that college is just leading to more important goals. Edmundson explains how students are built up by society but colleges really want them to be, "well-rounded students, civic leaders, people who know what the system demands, how to keep matters light" (Edmundson 93). Edmundson urges students to fight as he encourages them to follow their own interests and value what they learn. Students should focus on receiving a meaningful education that will define themselves then later receiving a fulfilling job that you are happy

Recently, many have begun to attack and degrade higher education in the United States. In the book How College Works, authors Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs claim, “As state support has eroded, and as more students attend college in an increasingly desperate attempt to find viable jobs, the price to students of attending an institution of higher education has gone up, especially at more selective institutions” (172). So is college even worth it? Caroline Bird’s excerpt from her book Case Against College “Where College Fails Us” is an adequately written article that agrees with those who question whether college is a good investment. Bird argues that although some students would benefit from college and succeed, many fall short, wasting

As a college student who is currently spending thousands of dollars to further my education and achieve a career goal, it was, at first, disheartening to read Caroline Bird ’s essay “College is a Waste of Time and Money”. However, after thoroughly examining her points, I now see that her essay is illogical. In her piece “College is a Waste of Time and Money”, Caroline Bird argues against the idea that “college is the best place for all high-school graduates” (1); in other words, college isn’t for everyone. Throughout her writing, Bird supplies her readers with evidence that explains how, for some individuals, college is a waste of not only time and money, but of intellectual effort, as well.

Therefore, tuition fees have increased as colleges have begun to take advantage of the social norm that has taken place in the society where it is expected of every individual to join college. Tuition cost, in turn, has a negative impact on persons who may fail to raise up the tuition fee required for to pursue a bachelor’s degree in a field of choice. Through the argument, it becomes evident that the decisions by various individuals not to pursue college due to the inability to raise funds for the fee but instead opt for a liberal education has continuously been looked down upon (Murray 236-238). This is based on the common that has been established that persons with Bachelor’s degrees are in demand and are likely to have a higher pay compared to individuals who may have opt to pursue working skills through liberal education (Murray

If a person’s parent or guardian drilled the idea of college into your head, or if they told you ‘do what you want’ or ‘I don 't care’, or ‘You’re not going’. While college is great, there are other means of education. The value of college is a low because there are people who do not qualify for a college education, and also because there are other ways of post-secondary education other than college. College is not valuable because many people will not make it into a 2 or 4-year college, much less graduate from one. To support this, in the article Why College Isn 't For Everyone, it says, “As a general rule, I would use graduates in the top quarter of their class at a high-quality high school should go on to a four-year degree program, while those in the bottom quarter of their classes at a high school with a mediocre educational reputation should not.”

A rising issue in today’s society is deciding whether or not college is worth the cost. There is an extreme amount of pressure that is forced upon high school students by parents, teachers, and peers to further their education and attend college. However, there is research that challenges the thought that college is the best possible path for a person to take. College may be a great investment for some people, but it is not meant for everyone. This is supported by the arguments that colleges are expensive, jobs do not always require a college degree, and students are forced to choose a lifestyle before being exposed to the real world.
