Joanne Lipman wrote an article on “why tough teachers gets good results”. Teachers used to call students names and even physically correct them, in the today world they would have already been fired. Lipman doesn’t believe in calling kids names but he also doesn’t believe in this, “the conventional wisdom holds that teachers are supposed to tease knowledge out of students, rather than pound it into their heads”. There are eight principle and research that explain why the conventional wisdom is wrong. Tough teachers do get good results and they always will.

“Fifteen-year-olds in the U.S. trail students in 12 other nations in science and 17 in math”, according to this study tough teachers do get the better results. Even when I was in school, I would remember the material better if the teachers made it challenging. I also had a teacher that was too tough and then it made me not want to do anything. When students get back a correction from the teacher and the teacher is all sweet about it the student will probley think o it’s not a big deal if I do it again. If the teacher seems like he or she is mad then the student will want to fix it so he or she will not get yelled at. Teachers also though have to be careful on what they say even though they need to be tough. The articles main point is to describe why tough teachers get good results. I do agree on everything the article said especially this “now I 'm not calling for abuse; I 'd be the first to complain if a teacher called my kids names”. Teachers can still be tough without being abusive, teachers just need to be strict. I also agree on the eight principles why the conventional wisdom is wrong. The eight principles are a little pain is good for you, drill, baby, drill, failure is an option, strict is better than nice, creativity can be learned, grit trumps talent, praise makes you week….. and while stress makes you

No, I don’t think that teachers cower in fear because of their students or their student’s parents, but I do believe that both teachers and the administration have been subjected to plenty of harassment. I think certain groups in our society have raised their children to always place the blame on someone else. Why this is, I couldn’t tell you. Perhaps it’s because they know that they’ll always have their status, connections, or wealth to fall back on, so what’s picking a fight with the teacher going to do? If you get kicked out, your parents can just enroll you in a different private school.

Rhetorical Analysis Of Tough

1056 Words | 5 Pages

Tough to a great extent shows the truth through real life examples and showing facts to back up his theory on the difficulty of students learning other skills. When he begins to persuade the audience, he starts with very large and complex words then lowers it to more simple terms to understand easier, which gives the reader a sense of an “ah-ha” moment. For example he states “On a cognitive level, chronically elevated stress can disrupt the development of what are known as executive functions: higher-order mental abilities that some researchers compare to a team of air-traffic controllers overseeing the workings of the brain.” Reason being that he chose this was because he helps the audience

Positive Reinforcement In Classroom Management

I agree with this theory and also there are other ways to maintain a positive classroom management, such as: setting the classroom rules at the beginning of each lesson, checks in with all the students to make sure they’re ready, maintaining the student’s dignity, and also treating them equally with fairness. I think that patience is an important part of maintaining a positive classroom management, as long as the teacher is patient with herself and her students, she won’t have trouble earning their love, respect and trust. Some people deal with negative behaviors using punishment that temporarily lasts. Although, punishment works with most students, it’s also ineffective for students with chronic behavioral difficulties.
