H.W #44- Big Expectations for School

Where The Bar Ought to Be:
I thought the ideas of Ms. Kenny were great. I believe that we are always thinking of how to make schools great, how students should be taught, how they should behave that sometimes it may seem as though we forget that one of the importants parts of schools are teachers. We seem to forget that if it was not for many teachers schools just wouldnt be schools. Teachers are the basic blocks of building a school, we need them, but we also need them to emjoy what they do.
It may seem corny, as we have seen in all these movies (Freedom Writers and Dangerous Minds), the way teachers seem so into what thet do, how they put the students first and how they try and keep trying no matter how many times they fail, but lets be honest we all like that idea of someone caring, someone knowing we CAN make it , giving us tha push we need. Most teachers should be “talented and passionate” in what they do, and we need to keep that in mind in order to not only benefit the schools, but the students that attend every day.

Obama Speech:

This speech focused on us as students. The fact that we need to make that effort, we neeed to WANT this education that in the end will benefit us. We have the responsibility to do good, we should be thankful for it, appriciate it and want it.
This speech sorta took me back to does days where my momwould tell me how lucky my sister and I were to be getting an education here, how we had a great opportunity to BE someone , unlike many people in ecuador and many parts of the world. She always said its up to us though, to take advantage of what we are recieving , to not take it for granted. Its kinda funny though how it seems to everyone else how pur education is a gift. while we DO take it forgranted, we skip, we dont wanna go, sometimes we just give up and are happy with barely passing. Its important though for us to take this serious. I guess school should be our number one priority, at least we are told that. We gro up seeing that without it , we just become nothing at all.
