i think that if school did a certain thing then that doesn't mean every kid is going to have a better and happier future. just because a school specializes in a specific subject or topic wont make the kids better because it depends what they specialize in in order to see if it would be worth while. i think there would still be racism because thats the society we grew up in and its not just schools thats gonna have to change. its also going to have to be their parents and their home life as well as school. school can only do but so much and the rest has to be done at home because of the parents and their beliefs.

i dont think their is going to be a right or wrong way for school. our society could have about 1000 different schools to choose from that each have something different to offer being able to help them with their future its not going to help. it all has to start at home. i dont think that school is primarily for a escape for kids to get out their houses and have a place to go. because we feel so restricted at home school is the place to let it all out and since teachers are like strangers and they dont really mean anything to us we treat them like shit cus it wont effect us

part B:

my question is basically what is the significance on why kids misbehave or act out in school? is it because of their race or gender?..all kids act out for a reason but who really does it more?

i think that kids act out cus they feel like they dont get enough attention or they feel like they are being neglected. every parent always asks "why do you act like that..you act like you have no manners or you wasnt brought up right. but i know you were, i brought you up better than that." parents try to figure where they went "wrong" with us. they can never find the reason or cause of the behavior. amd they end up sending us to therapy because of course talking to a stranger would be much better than talking to someone you know. and parents always try to relate to us the "best" way they can but doesnt always work and they always say "we were kids once also i know how it is..my parents use to do the same thing"..but i think its just bull.

teens and kids in general always get blamed for everything. no matter what happens our parents or teachers or sometimes our peers would blame us for something. and to us it feels like teachers and sometimes our parents dont know how to talk to us because all they do is yell and order us around. we dont like that and we tend to get mad and do things our way but they yall get mad when we take our time and parents say "ooh you guys think you know everything and do things when you want, but thats not how the world works...blah blah blah" and that gets us more mad cus then we feel like we cant do anything right.

homework 39

part A:

- why do we come to school if people are only there to judge?

- who is going to benefit from going to school?

- why do we try to make the best of it in a bad way when were told its good for our future?

- people act out because they cant at home

- people feel like they get more attention in school

- just a place to chill with your friends

- smoking..drinking..sex

- talking back to a teacher/ being disrespectful

- skipping/ cutting

part B:

being in school for a bunch a years you experience a lot of different things. some things that i have seen or heard are what i think shouldn't be allowed in school. for example drinking and smoking in school. there are kids that do certain things that should not be allowed in school and they get caught and thats something that changed school itself because kids take advantage.

we come to school to learn and try to get what grown ups call a education so we can build skills and knowledge so we can be successful in the world but thats not always the case. why is it that we judge each other in and outside of the classrooms and hallways? if its not about how smart or dumb someone is, its about how lazy you are or what type of clothes you wear or who you hang out with. and everybody gets caught up in it.

my idea is that some kids come to school because they have no place to go so they do what they would normally do outside of school inside just because their parents told them to come so they will make the best of it by drinking or smoking or having sex. while other students come to follow the expectations that are set by the world to come and do the "right" thing so they could have a better life when they leave school. but who is really benefiting from all of this? is it the teacher?..student?..parents?..your future self?

i feel that acting out in school comes from the lack of attention or rebellion at home. we kids feel like we are forced to come to school everyday monday thru friday from 8:30 to 3:10 because the only way to get a good education is by coming to school. and when you do the same thing everyday it tends to get boring because all you do is move from classroom to classroom and sit down in a chair for a hour each period. so kids like to spice it up and do something different by going against school rules and doing what they feel like doing.
