249 Words1 Page

In the article “Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception,” Richard Pérez-Peña explains the increase in cheating among high achieving students and how they are being enabled. Initially, Pérez-Peña suggests that new technology has made cheating easier by allowing the student to obtain the answers at a click of a button. Technology allows students to instantly connect to the internet and other students to communicate answers (Pérez-Peña 1). This indicates that it is unchallenging for students to use technology to secure an ample grade. Furthermore, in disregards to ethics, parents have become enablers to students cheating in recent years. The article states “...that since the 1960s, parenting has shifted away from

  • Examples Of Bureaucrats Remain Fixated On Protecting Children By Allan Richarz

    1735 Words  | 7 Pages

    The subject of Allan Richarz’s “Bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids from that terrifying condition known as ‘childhood’” is the style of parenting expected in Canada compared to Japan. In the title of the article, Richarz included the words “bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids”. This is expanded upon in the third paragraph where Allan writes “children are inculcated on an upbringing of helicopter parenting, fostered by a regime of smothering government nanny-stateism.” The phrase “helicopter parenting” and how children are “inculcated”, the act of instilling something by persistent instruction, by it proves that the subject is the style of parenting expected in Canada because a helicopter parent is a parent who closely monitors their child’s experiences and actions. Furthermore, the phrase “latest contretemps over children not receiving 24/7 supervision in Canada” shows that in Canada,

    Not only that, but if one is caught cheating, a suspension or detention is placed. While in college, if you are caught cheating you can be kicked out university. I remember a time when I was a teacher’s assistant for a period during high school. I was working on reorganizing ribbon for the class, and I turned around to see students clicking on and off their screen to google and texting behind their computers for the answers. Now, when parents just focus on their child getting a good grade, they don’t really think about how that child is receiving that

    Cheating over the internet is nothing new to the youth of the world right now, and it is said by Perez to be “...enabling students to connect instantly with answers, friends to consult and works to plagiarize” (para. 6). This type of behavior is seen in many different ways and on many different platforms. Texting, for example, is one of the most widely used types of communication, and through this, cheating is just becoming easier. A recent study done by Jeffrey A. Roberts and David M. Wasieleski shows “...that the more online tools college students were allowed to to complete an assignment, the more likely they were to copy the work of others. It seems like this cheating problem is just in our younger society, but this reaches out into college level classes and into the real world.

Similarly, the speech given by Julie Lythcott-Haim, “How to raise successful kids without over-parenting” offers the perspective directly opposing the belief that “kids can’t be successful unless parents are protecting and preventing at every turn”. The two texts offer similar perspectives, but utilise different generic conventions. Skenazy utilizes persuasive techniques such as anecdotal evidence, statistics and expert opinion to endorse the ‘free-range’ technique and add a level of validity.

  • Summary Of The Glass Castle By Bobbi Walls

    Based on the article by Bobbi Leder, the memoir The Glass Castle written by Jeannette Walls, and personal experiences, it is evident that parents should be required to obtain a parenting license due to previous neglecting cases. Although there is a fair amount of disputes on whether having a license to become a parent is just as important as a license to drive a car, there is convincing evidence to support this requirement. Those who disagree with the statement can only argue that there are people with good intentions thus do not need a license. On the other hand, those who agree with this statement see both sides of parenting styles. There are parents who strive to provide their kids with all their needs and others that simply have kids
