Recommended: Sentimentanalysis essays

Although the male parent is concerned that his daughter Felicia is not learning enough at Rosewood school, his message is greatly undermined by his poor delivery, and disparaging remarks toward a faculty member. The parent also fails to see his daughter’s own role in the matter, which he conveniently explains away. The man’s conference paper veers off topic when he shares personal information, which serves no purpose. His conference paper does have shortcomings, but the man does make some good arguments that will be examined as well. The aim of my paper is to evaluate the paper’s strengths and weaknesses. One limitation of the paper is that the parent does not seem to adhere to any normal guidelines concerning delivery. …show more content…

The paper drifts from one topic to another, making it difficult for the reader to follow along with the parent’s true message. By interjecting personal information into his argument, the paper loses credibility and makes for a boring message. Despite the man’s poor delivery he does make a good case against the teacher, but went about it in a way that was not productive. The parent clearly wants to see his daughter make academic progress, and that alone is reason enough to pay attention to his speech.

    At Hazel East High School, the school has a sponsored newspaper called “The Spectrum” that is written and edited by the students. On May of 1983, the high school principal, Robert E. Reynolds, received the edited version of the May 13th edition. Upon inspecting the paper he found two articles that he found “inappropriate.” The two articles contained stories about divorce and teen pregnancy. The article on divorce featured a student who blamed her father’s actions for her parents’ divorce. The following article featured students at Hazelwood East and their experiences as teen parents in high school. Reynolds immediately asked for the two articles to be withheld from that weeks edition. Reynolds had concluded fairness required the father in the divorce article to be informed of the article and given the chance to make any comments. He also stated that changing the names of the girls in the teen pregnancy article may not be sufficient enough to keep them unidentified. Also, the topic is not suitable for younger students. As a result he forbid the two articles from being published. On October 13, 1987 Cathy Kuhlmeier (a student at Hazelwood East High) claimed that Hazelwood East High School was violating her First Amendment rights, and her case was

  • Deborah Tannen Gender In The Classroom Summary

    1258 Words  | 3 Pages

    She analyzed conversations among her students to find out what helped them in becoming engaged in the classroom discussion. The class she chose as her subject had eleven women and nine men. Tannen said that she observed the class for a good amount of time when she concluded that almost all the men talked in class occasionally. The student who talked the most in class was a woman, but then she mentions almost half of the women did not speak at all in class. Tannen decided to divide her class in ways where she could prove her thesis statement that having both genders in the same classroom is an issue. She analyzed the students, separated them into three groups that are relevant to each, from their degree, gender, and the conversation style that she observed from each student. Naturally, she focused on how the all-woman group became talkative once the men were gone. At this point of her essay, she focused too much on what she was trying to prove with her thesis statement rather than really giving the readers to consider the other side of the story. As Tannen goes on with explaining the experiment she conducted in class, she started to divert with including the ethnicity of some students. The foreign students tend to talk less despite what gender, therefore counting the validity of their contribution out. The information provided towards the end of the essay started to become irrelevant. This part of her essay was very weak, showing some obvious bias as she was sharing the information

    ... Alex received little control from his parents. In several instances the parenting methods used by his parents gave him too much of his own discretion. In one instance his mother allowed him to stay in from school and it is implied that this is a regular occurrence. This example acts doubly negative in that he has no responsibility to maintain a set schedule of structure but also that school itself can act as a form of control against delinquency because it gives an individual stakes in conformity.

    One of the issues that were brought up was an upset parent who mentioned that his child suffers from narcolepsy. He was addressing that he wants the school board to help him because he feels as if the principal is penalizing his daughter. He mentioned that the principal mentioned that he will penalize the girl because of her lateness. He also mentioned that the principal refused to acknowledge his daughter’s sickness and how the principal bullied him. Following this one of the members from the board address this issue by mentioning that this issue that the parent has addressed is a personal issue that really should not be mentioned in this meeting.

The reason why Jimmy and his brother were not at school was because there was no special education program. This moment, even though she was in kindergarten, shaped Chris’s plan for her

His parents engaged him in conversations that promoted reasoning and negotiation and they showed interest in his daily life. Harold’s mother joked around with the children, simply asking them questions about television, but never engaged them in conversations that drew them out. She wasn’t aware of Harold’s education habits and was oblivious to his dropping grades because of his missing assignments. Instead of telling one of the children to seek help for a bullying problem she told them to simply beat up the child that was bothering them until they stopped. Alex’s parents on the other hand were very involved in his schooling and in turn he scored very well in his classes. Like Lareau suspected, growing up

  • An Analysis Of 'Women Talk Too Much'

    1066 Words  | 3 Pages

    After reading the different studies and research in the chapter I have a much different view than before. I reflected on my whole life and noticed that when I am in a more private and relaxed setting my wife usually does a lot of the talking. But in more formal settings like when we attend seminars together or when we took a college class together, I am doing more of the talking. This is just one example of how this study actually reflects my everyday life. Another example of how this chapter changed my view is the way male and female speech occurs in my class. I was really taken back from my teaching and I noticed that this is true of my classroom and I didn 't even know this! Many times when a girl answers a question or tries to provide her different insight of the question provided I sense that many feel she is trying to show off. This chapter honestly will helped me get rid of many assumptions I 've always had. I will also try to ensure all my students have the social confidence in my classroom and try to help all students contribute to the
