I dont
understand why
these students
get punished for
something they
cant always
control

Is this
because
we have
already
stereoty
ped
these
students
this way,
or
because
that is
who
they
really
are?

This man assumed the future of a child

simply because of who his family is and
where they are. Children are not their
families, they are their own person
 Why do they
not take this
into
consideration
when deciding
punishment?
Or maybe they
do and they
just dont
care?

While zero-tolerance
is somewhat helpful
in cutting down on
in-school disruptions
at times, I think it
would be more
helpful to hear the
student out on what
may be going on
outside of school, if
there are any driving
forces behind their
actions
 Whose fault is
that?

Seriously,
racism and
stereotypes I have done this a
few times. I cant
recall any instances
that happened while
in High school, but I
know that Ive done
that in my adult life
 Doesnt this
go back to
them
internalizing
labels?
They keep
breaking
these rules
and acting
this way
because
that is how
people
look at
them and
classify
them

in high school these students

why you are
teaching,
what is your
motive, and
that will help
improve the
quality

There is no such thing as normal

Students will
sort themselves
given the
opportunity

There were AP
classes in my
high school,
which was
sorting students
in a way, but I
feel they were
self sorted. In my
internship there
are IB classes,
but students
have to apply to
get in, so again,
Elementary
self sorted
schools?

students that
their grades/
test scores

In my experience completely
the kids who
know they arent
doing well in
school and that
its not for
them dont try,
they just sit in
class on their

actually look
at kids in this

one of the
worst things I

about the
