What’s wrong with Schools? Teacher Plays Student, Learns to lie and Cheat.READING COMPREHENSIONThe word ruses in “ students using ruses to avoid assignments” means trickThe word agenda in “ the agenda is the teacher’s” means programCheating in our school system would be a good alternative title for this selectionStudents need good grades to get into college expressed the main idea of the selectionOne-haft to two third class would often cheat on the testIt is true Glanz found that the school system encourages an incredible amount of passivityThe author implied that class room teaching method should be changedThe author implied that Glanz is a better teacher than she was beforeThe author implied that most teachers demand too little of their students.STRUCTURE AND TECHNIQUE Banas use broad-to- narrow in the introduction. He use this method to show that most students have lied to their teacher even Glanz who is a teacher still lied her Math teacher.Time transitions that Banas use in paragraph 12 are before and now. They help Banas make his point between the past and now. He wants to compare the Glanz’s thought before and now are different.“Now I know I should have demanded more” is an instance in the essay in which both direct and indirect quotations are used in the same paragraph. Paragraph 4: confess- copy- make up. Paragraph 7: going- figuring out- thinkingCRITICAL READING AND DISCUSSIONAfter reading this essay I think Glanz’s attitude is true and honest. She is a pro -teacher because she has experienced that most students are passive. They just seat and listen to teacher so when Glanz taught, her mind was going constantly to help students understand obviously. She forces her students involve to her lecture. Sometime she has to make her lecture humorous and has to be serious. She said that teacher have responsibilities to teach their student well rather than student have responsibilities to learn carefully. Especially, teacher have to be a role model for student. Before she always accepted the excuses of students who come to class with unprepared homework, but now she answers that student are responsibility to learn it. In my opinion, I think that any student who is in Glanz classes will have a better knowledge, understand her lecture obviously. However, Glanz is also an anti-student because she was cheating and lying to her Math teacher. She did not do the homework because she and her husband are busy to celebrate a party with their friends. All students want their teacher to explain the work on the board and they just copy it and study it. Even some student don’t do homework and they just copy from other student. Students will lose their abilities in critical thinking and creation when they are so passive. Some students have bad attitude and don’t feel remorse about cheating.I agree with Banas that many students are in school to get good grades- not to learn. Some students get good grades to continue receiving their Financial Aid. America Government has given many opportunities for people to go back school. They go to school with no fees for low income people. They also receive around five thousand dollars each semesters for full time students. If fail classes over 3 times, they won’t be received their Financial Aid, so some elders at Evergreen valley college are cheating on their test and homework as long as they get good grades to pass class. I realized that they don’t reaaly learn knowledge. They go to school because of money. Some students get good grades to be pleasure their parents. They cheat on their test and homework, then bring good recorded score sheet to show their parent. Most parent want their children study good at school and become a successful person in the future but their children are cheating at school and fail at the final exam. That way brings more disappointment for parents.For those people, who are getting good grades are always learning knowledge. To get a good grade is not easy. Students have to study as much as they can, understand the problem, be intelligent and be diligent. Most Asian student have good scores at school because when solving a problem, they need time to read it, read over it many times until they get it. However, American student read it and is easy to give up it briefly if they don’t know the answer. So to be a smart student, students need to take time for their study. ................
