homework 55

my topic will be about family and the different roles in the mediate family.

i think that it might have to do with their family roles. i for example being the "baby" of the family people treat you as if you dont know anything or treat you younger than what you really are. the parents always come up with the excuses "your my baby and i dont want anything to happen to you" so then you try and prove to them that you are not a baby but then you end up acting bigger than what your age and end up getting into trouble. thats where they then treat you even more like a baby. and they dont realize what they are doing or how they are treating you and how its the cause of your actions so they compromise on a solution and treat you better. thats just like the role of a "super parent" or something. its always the same situation and of course they would say im trying my best to be the best parent i could be.

a lot of parents have things in common. and in the end all the kids act the same

there is also where you are the baby of the family and you then act like a brat

i think that this quiz was funny to take. it makes you think about yourself and yet at the ends of the test, the results don't matter to me. i think that its stupid because you have to take a test and it tells you who you are as a person according to the answers you put in. and it may seem "right" or "accurate" but yet not true. you are your own person and that you don't need a little stupid test to tell you what type of person you are and what you are to the world. i think that its for people who don't know themselves and need an idea of who they are to their friends, or society, or their family. but if that was the case then you just need to go out and do soul searching and find the "inner you". there are a bunch of different tests out there in the world about ones personality or who they are. facebook has a bunch of test and quizzes that tell you what is your favorite color or who you could end up with or what is going to happen to you in the next 10 years or so and that test could. and i just find it really funny how when people get the answers they sit there and believe everything that they say and its like

part two:

taking the survey was very easy. i thought that it was a little deep thinking but not too much. it was just a bunch of basic questions that you don't need a lot of thinking for. i would have to stop and think back about what we did during the unit and how it benefited me as a person and how it has changed my views on school. (if they did). and i do think that in some type of way, they did change and with this unit i got more of a open idea about what goes on and whats the "point" of school. but that still doesnt change the way i feel about it and how i feel about going to if for 13 years learning almost nothing.

part three:

from looking at the results it seems as if the parents and that families are very important to a lot of people. it seems that you should please your family and that family are the base of everybodies choice in life. for example the way the family treats you or how they have an effect on you changes everything.

part four:

from the first survey that i looked at..it was about teens having sex. and im not surprised that over 50% of teens are having sex or that possible a big about of them would either catch a std or get preg or if anything both. teens think that sex is a big joke and its not going to affect them. but if the parents think its okey and they are cool with it then of course they are going to keep doing it cus they approve. and i mean both test are differernt because they are about different things however it all talks about kids actions and opinions and a lot of kids/ teens think or do things that are alike.

homework 52

why is it that people act the way they do? why is it that even though we might say we are all different in our own ways, that is not true at all. we somehow all want the same things in life. we all want acceptance, love, respect, being acknowledged, having a family and being someone to the world. and why is that? why is it that all humans want the same things but at different times? is it because of family and where you come from? is it because of where you want to go later in the future? or maybe because of the present and what is going on around them at the moment.

everybody has different personalities and some have multiple of them. growing up and the things around you or the people around you your whole life have a big influence of how you view others and the world.

like what exactly would matter to a individual? would it be power and wealth and have a bunch of money with a powerful job?..could it be wanting to give back to your community and wanting to help others to have that personal satisfication of helping the people in need and doing the "right" thing?..or maybe it could be living like a transendentialist or an existentialist and just living as an individual and being one with nature and connecting to god and not basing your life off of material things and relying on others.

homework 51 (sorry its so late)

in class we have talked about how school is known to be a "institution" and how its manditory to got to school and that kids are portrayed as a bunch of wild banchies that dont care about anything and we are never gonna make something of ourselves unless we have a "super teacher" come in and save us. but that isnt always true. we seen a bunch of different movies where the students are disrespectful and that they are rebeles with good potential to actually do something but they feel like they cant cus of the fact that they have low self esteem or from where they come from. and towards the end of the movies all do well and learn a "life lesson" that would help them because of they teacher caring.
in class we had done a movie where it was quite the opposite. the teacher didnt give too shits about the students and didnt really cared what happened but then the students helped him out and saved the teacher. i also saw another classes movie and it talked about how the teacher was a drunk and didnt care at all and neither did the kids. but somehow the kids did care more cus they tried to show some interest but in the end the teacher just up and left.
all of these just make kids look as if they really dont care and they act out as they please and do whatever they want cus they could do that and school is the place to do it. but you never see a movies where it straight talks about the students life at home. they dont talk about all of the personal stories and show what is going on at the houses, because its not always students just act out at school. it has to start somewhere and it starts at home and with the people they live with.
parents have a huge part in their childs life. they live with them all day for about 19 years. they should know everything about their child. who they hang out with, what are their likes and dislikes, their interests and hobbies, what they want for the future and their carrers. parents should know all of these things but they usually dont. they dont always show that many interests in out lives. and then they wonder why its usually hard for us teenagers to come out and talk to them about whats going on in our lives and whats happening durning our days. in some type of way we feel ignored and we think that ooh they not going to know what we do so we could go off and smoke or drink or do whatever.
and when we get to school and the teacher tries to bud into our lives we think "ooh who the hell are you to tell me what to do..your not my mother/father." so we disrespect our teachers..i know some one who just recently got grounded cus she told her teacher "shut up N*****" and we continue to do as we please cus teachers cant stop us no matter how hard they try.

homework 50

for gatto i read the 6 lesson article. it was about six different lessons he would use to teach the students and how they would be effective. based off of these six lessons it seemed like determination was his goal. i think that he wants the students to be well taught and have a sense of mind. he wants them to have respect for themselves along with for others and that they need to learn to do the right thing.

i think that his idea would most likely work. because of the fact that he has to be strict so then maybe the students would fear him and do what they are told because they have that one person in their life that thinks they could make something of themselves.

for freire, he talks about the depositing method. he talkes about how the teachers have all of the knowledge and how what the teacher does is that they deposit all of the knowledge into the students heads. the students then recieve the knowledge and would take what they learn and go into the world and then hopefully deposit that information to others.

this would be a effect method however not all of the students learn the same way. some would understand it and then others would not get it and then get left behind. or some of them would just give up and move on with whatever they want to do.

for the last person, she feels that art is the way to go. all the students should be taught through music or art or any for of expressing yourself in a creative way. learn how to express yourself with out using words. just by pictures or paintings

this would be a fun way to learn but a lot of people would take it as a joke and just have fun with it. they wouldnt think it was learning.

homework 49

our classes film was about how the teacher was being saved by the students. from what i was told from conor, the director, he was saying about how the students controlled the classroom and the teacher would have to follow what went on i believe. but our class video got lost so i cant really write much about it because of the fact that i havent seen it.

so we watched esthers class video and it was pretty good. i think that it was about how there was this teacher and it seemed like he was drinking in the classroom and didnt really give a crap about the students. so if the teacher didnt care then neither would the students and they just went on about they business. and the teacher would say some smart remarks to the kids.

even tho i couldnt really understand what they was saying, it looked like a one point the students kinda was worried and wanted to learn a lil something because of the fact the teacher was passed out at his desk and one of the students came up to him and asked if they was going to learn something today. he gave one of those i dont care looks and said something to a couple of students and then walked out the classroom with his drink and the students didnt care. they stood quiet for a moment but then went on with what they wanted to do.
