PLN 24
I read an article by Michele Davis called Why are kids failing? and what matters is that kids aren't doing what they can to help their grades in school. The article talked about how Mrs. Davis is giving her students a lot of opportunity's in her class to raise their grades but the kids are slaking. A majority of her student have D's and F's. These students should work harder and follow up on their assignments so that they can do better in class. I think that it is sad that she is giving her students all these opportunity's but the kids aren't doing anything so it's really just hurting their grade more. I can relate this to me because I started off really bad in my English class because I wasn't doing the assignments. It hurt my grade pretty bad because there was so much that I neglected. But when I finally started to do them they really add up and raised my grade. It seems that a lot of people in my class were struggling with their and maybe some still are but if you start to do the assignments it's really not that hard to raise your grade. I can relate this to the world because a lot of people just don't care about school and get bad grades and usually have to repeat that class. Sometimes this can lead to students dropping out of school. I'm sure that it sucks for the teacher too. They probably put a lot of work in their assignments and for the student to just neglect it would kind of suck. Students should just do the best they can on their work and if they need help they should talk too the teacher, but you shouldn't just put it off because you don't feel like it or you don't think that you can do it.

goos job. You had great details about you plns that you had. You made pretty good eye contact.Other than that great job.
Ethan, good job presenting. You explained your articles well and spoke clearly. The presentation was kinds of long but overall you did a really good job.
Ethan! Great job talking about our articles. I think thats good that the school took precaution that fast even though it was a fake gun. But that kid is dumb for bringing that gun to school. I remember when she brought the knife. Someone heard her talk about hurting someone with it. I don't think that schools should shut down until the school year is finished. My cousin's school got shut down her 6th grade year right in the middle of the year and she lost touch with some of her best friends. I totally agree with you about this class, that I wasn't doing the asignments and I was doing really bad. I know I was one of those kids who don't do the work in the class. I'm doing better though.
Ethan, you had a really good presentation. You spoke clear and loud and had good eye contact. Good Job!
Ethan,
I agree with you that it is good that the schools should be cautious
about guns and knife threats. I also agree with you that the school shouldn't be shut down. Your
ideas on your blogs are really good and well thought out. GREAT JOB!
Ethan, you did a good job
Ethan, you did a really good job on your presentation. You kept good eye contact. I think it is good that the school takes things serious to make sure that the students are safe. It's sad to hear that kids don't really do anything to raise their grade up even when the teacher gives them a chance to get their grade up. From my perspective it has to be the student who wants to make the effort of getting their grades up.
=0 how could that kid bring a pellot gun to school and think your not going to get caught. Anyway, i thought you had really good eye contact and picked great topics to talk about.
Ethan, nice work you must of practiced alot. You need to not say "um" so much. Other then that nice work.
