Motivating High School Students

281 Words2 Pages

Plus, the amount of times I have raised my hand in class to ask questions and have been ignored is ridiculous. I, a student who wants help, so why are you not helping me?? How do some teachers expect the best out of their students when they do not even offer to help them. That unmotivates me to do my work, that is the exact opposite of what teachers are supposed to do. Why should I care if my teachers do not? Also, why are teachers allowed to be lazy, but students cannot? Students are assigned loads of homework every week and they all have a due date. Is late work allowed? Most of the time it is accepted but there are points deducted off the assignment. Yet, teachers can go weeks without upgrading the gradebook or handing back homework and

    What will it take for me to be successful in high school is hard work, determination, and concentration. What I mean by this is I will do my to not only pass in high school but succeed and overachieve. I want this because I'll never like to be second and that includes high school to.

Taking this time to catch students up is causing them to have another reason to feel overwhelmed and overworked A teacher should not have to have three people's workload and still get the same amount of expectations done for each group of students. I have interviewed multiple teachers in and out of the classroom about the difficulties of being an educator in today's society. I asked them all the same question, “What are your personal difficulties of being a teacher?” The first teacher who answered said her mental health was the worst part and working a high-maintenance job didn't help.

By this, I mean when they are given a lot of homework for the next day, the student will gets upset and do not want to go to school because he doesn 't want punishment for what he couldn 't do. This is my personal opinion. Homework is a never-ending conflict at school, the students want less homework but the teachers have to give them the homework, so they can study at home. Lastly, I would say a student needs time to learn but also time to play and relax and to enjoy life with his family and

    They need time to grade exams and finalize grades from the previous semester, and they only have a short break between school years (Towler). By the time they do this, they might have less than a week to prepare themselves, their lessons, and their rooms (Towler). This is not an adequate amount of time for the teachers and it could impact students learning as well (Towler). Teachers also might have a hard time collaborating with each other because many of them are on different tracks (Towler). Students on different tracks might be learning completely different, or maybe even opposite lessons due to lack of collaboration between their teachers (Towler).

    In college you have more assignments to do that are manly on the students own time. Students will be given assignments to finish and are required to keep up with when work is due. College students are usually given a rubric to abide by in the beginning of the course that’ll include the assignments that’ll be given throughout the semester, requirements of the student depending on the professor, and which days that there will be a test/exam. It is not by any means the professors’ responsibility to remind students of due dates and course criteria nor do majority of them do so just out of generosity. In high school, course work and assignments will usually be done before the end of class and during class.

We are in college, we should not be coming up with lame excuses and giving our professors hard times.
