Cause and Effect of Prejudice Behavior

They say do not judge a book by its cover. Too often people judge others by what is on the surface and do not take the time to truly get to know people. Having preconceived notions is a way of shutting yourself out to the beauty that lies within people. Too often this is more easily said than done. We judge people on their appearance from near and afar. We criticize people on first impressions before we even truly know the person.  Pessimistic views or prejudge mental behaviors are bad character traits and people have to be careful to not display these actions. Prejudice behavior is caused by ones action to judge. The bible tells us not to judge others, and even for those who are not religious no right from wrong and judging others is definitely wrong. Too often people are quick to analyze the wrong in others before they analyze themselves. I personally do not see the use of taking the time to build up an assumption on someone I do not know or on a topic I have little or no knowledge of because usually assumptions are wrong. There is a saying that goes, “if you assume you make a donkey out of you and me”.  WE have to be careful not to allow ourselves to prejudge others based on what little information we may have whether right or wrong. The only way to truly know the truth about someone or something is to find out for yourself and truly get a full understanding. People shouldn’t judge because prejudge mental behavior affects our ability to further understand the world around because we tend to be arrogant or insensitive.

Impulse Buying

Shopping is a exciting experience for many but some people take it too far and buy unnecessary items. It is nice to be able to purchase the necessities but one must have self control. Too often shoppers buy more than they need and there desires become larger than their bank accounts can hold.  The National Institute of Mental Health calls impulsive buying is a borderline psychological disorder. Impulse buying is defined as someone spur of the moment, unplanned decision to buy an item, made just before a purchase. This sudden desire to purchase more items is a psychological problem triggered just by seeing simply the product or seeing a very persuasive and convincing item. The act of just walking past advertisements cause people to buy things they don’t need.  Product advertisement is one of the most persuasive methods in our society. Companies have such creative ways to phrase or decorate items to catch customer’s eyes and persuade them to purchase their products. Sadly, people just are not smart or strong shoppers. Too often we do things like go into a store with the intent to only buy one or twp items and come out with bag loads of things we had not originally intended to purchase. This shows how unnecessary some of the things we buy are. Impulsive shopping not only affects people mentally but it puts an economic strain on people. Impulsive shopping leads to buying more then one needs and when that occurs people end up going over their budget. Getting debt and having bad credit are all possible affects of impulsive shopping and we just have to learn to be smarter and stronger shoppers os that we don’t harm ourselves or our bank accounts.

Pollution

Pollution is undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with harmful substances as a consequence of human activities. In simpler terms it is when water, land or air becomes dirty. You may not have it on your planet but earth is full of pollution. As humans we create a lot of waste. We create more waste now than we ever have before. We pollute our air with things like cigarette smoke, airplane jet fuel that fly in the sky, oil refineries, or automobiles that all create toxic gases. These gases kill our plants and animals, and even humans because when we breathe in the toxic gases it damages our lungs and some of our other organs. It creates multiple health problems and if not properly treated eventually death. We have places called landfills where we group large piles of trash that wait to be burned and recycled if possible. We as humans do try to recycle, a process that preserves resources we already use. This process is not working as well as it should be. The problem is that too many people do not recycle enough or even at all. Earth is not the most environmentally friendly place. We live in our own trash and the sad thing is that we create it. WE are trying to find environmentally friendly ways to advance in society without causing harm to our planet. Maybe when you visit you can give us some tips of you guys do it on your planet.

Computers

Technology is forever advancing. We have gone from inventions to make things possible to inventions that just create a lazier society. The computer is one of the biggest technology advances of my time and it is still advancing. Computer technology has evolved from large machines the size of a large bedroom to light hand held computers small enough to hold in one hand. Computers now have some many more features on them than the earliest computers did. We can do important work, access books and videos, and even communicate with the computers we have now. Some of the newest computers are thin laptops like the Air Mac or the iPad. One of the major differences in computers is there connivance. We can take them almost anywhere with exception of worrying if they will get stolen. Life without computers would thus be of less connivance. Since computers serve as work stations and entertainment   systems, it would be fewer covenants for people to get what they needed and wanted done. Computers serve as a fast way to display and deliver information. Without them modern day life would be very different. For example, this paper that I am typing on my computer would have to be hand written. In order to write get the information that I found to support my position on this topic I would have had to get it out of a newspaper, or go to the local library. Overall computers make life a lot easier. As we continue to advance in technology we find short cuts in completing everyday processes.

Good drivers

The number of good drivers on the road is seemingly increasing as time goes on. Too many people are in too big of a rush and careless with their driving skills. Good driving requires that you follow and understand the rules of the road. You must learn to use good judgment when behind the wheel of a car because you do not just have you to worry about but you almost must consider the safety of others around you. In order to be a good driver you must not only be aware of your surroundings but you must have good listening skills. Too often drivers make the mistake of having their music blasting while driving, and do not hear sirens or the warning signals around them and they end up getting in car accidents. A good driver must most importantly be able to focus. Too often people like to multi task when driving not understanding how significant it is for them focus on operating that piece of machinery. For example, the effects of people texting while driving have increased so much and become tragic that laws have been made to make it illegal to drive and text in California. A good driver has to encompass all of these things while behind the wheel to ensure the safety of themselves and those around them.

my favorite artists

My favorite artist of all time would have to be Kim Burrell. She is an African American female world renowned gospel artist. She has an extremely beautifully unique and powerful voice that’s brings me to tears each time I hear her sing. She has a true passion for ministering to people and spreading the gospel vocally. Born in Huston Texas to a pastor and evangelical mother, she was destined to do something wonderful in ministering to others. As a child she displayed a true passion for vocal expression and joined the choir.  When she got older she began her career the Greater Emmanuel COGIC Choir of Huston, Texas. Early in her career she was featured on well known gospel groups and artist like Donnie McClurkin,  Shirley Caesar, Karen Clark-Sheard,, the Trinity Temple Full Gospel Mass Choir of Dallas, Texas; along with and The Inspirational Sounds Mass Choir of Houston, TX. Kim later went on to record her own albums including Everlasting Life, Try Me Again and No Ways Tired. Those albums have been a true success and have touched many hearts and souls all across the world. Kim is a Grammy Award nominee and Stellar Award winner.  Kim Burrell’s music has definitely had a strong impact on my life. It inspires and encourages me and lifts me up in times that I feel let down. Her songs remind me of God’s grace and mercy and most importantly his love. I only wish there were more artists like Kim Burrell in the music industry.

College right after high school

As children we are taught that education is a necessity. In secondary school we learn the basics tools to understanding, communicating and expressing our opinions and the opinions of others clearly. We learn basic methods to analyzing our environment and the world around us. We begin to understand a little bit of who we are, and sometimes who we want to become. Post secondary education is what I believe allows us to grow as individuals just when we are at the pinnacle of our being. In college you grow an even more broad view of who you are and how to analyze your world through furthering your education.   While in school we are told about the level of difficulty and responsibility that each grade level brings. The bridge from high school to college is perhaps the biggest of them all; a time where you become an adult, responsible for yourself and for your own education. Some graduates are ready for this change while others aren’t ready just yet.

There are multiple factors that play in a person’s decision to not further their education past high school. Possibly they’ve found a job that they love already or maybe they takes to get a valuable education understanding the world around us school we gain the discipline it takes to get a valuable education. We are influenced by our teachers as they instill in us methods to learning and analyzing the world around us in ways other then strictly academic. It is up to us as students after we graduate from high school that we decide if we will further our education and build on what we have previously been taught. Some choose to stop; others choose to take time off for various reasons. Others like myself who are dedicated and fortunate enough to get a valuable education go on to further their education in college. I personally feel that there would be so much time and knowledge lost or wasted by stopping right when I’m at the pinnacle of my success and education. Education is important and the very bases to our success as a people. As students we are pushed and gain the discipline it takes to get a valuable education. I personally feel that right after high school is the best time if any to go to college. I have come this far and feel that it is best for me to continue on my journey without cease. Also, being someone who has a job, and might be getting another one this upcoming semester and already having had the opportunity to travel often and even out of the country, I don’t feel the necessity to take a break after graduating this year. Research in the United States suggests that taking time off can be detrimental for eventual completion of a postsecondary credential in that many youth who take time off simply do not return.

A recent six year national student survey from Stanford Universities Bridge Project on school education showed that 88% of students nationwide intend some postsecondary education. A secondary education is important, especially in today’s society because simply having a GED is not enough anymore. A Bachelor of Arts degree is required for simple everyday stores we go to run errands in each day. The demand for a broader education has gone up from what it once was. I know that if I want to get far in my career of choice and be successful I need a valuable education. Thus, I intend to go right into college after high school.

 

Why Recycle

“Carpooling, recycling,, and planting trees are all good activities for the environment. Write an essay convincing readers to actively participate in one of these activities”

In1958 in the novel called More in Anger, Marya Mannes stated that “the earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future”. This quote is so prevalent in today’s society as we have become so careless about our environment. Taking care of our environment is vital. Participating in environmental health activities is a great way to help ensure we keep or planet healthy. Doing things like recycling finding more green ways to do everyday things are activities we can partake in to do so.  How hard is it to take a few second or minutes out your day to recycle? Simply throwing a plastic bottle for example into a blue bin for recycling is not that time consuming.

According to Proctor Simone, writer for the U.S Environmental Agency, “Between 1960 and 2008 the amount of waste each person creates has almost doubled from 2.7 to 4.5 pounds per day”. The article went on to say that recycling is one of the best ways to ensure we do not create more waste because “recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources.”  It is vital that we take care of our environment or we will soon be living in our own trash if we do not learn to clean up after ourselves and participate in activities that will benefit the environment. The article went into further depth to explain the essential benefits recycling, such that it reduces the need for costly land filling and incineration. Recycling conserves our natural resources, and protects and expands the U.S jobs, increasing our nation’s competitiveness. More importantly, recycling saves energy and helps to sustain the environment for future generations.

Many of the items we see and use daily are recycled without our knowledge. Recycling is beneficial and significant to our environment. It is a cycle of good judgments to take care of our environment. It is not very time consuming as it only requires a few simple steps.  The first step includes finding and collecting recyclable materials such as plastics bottles and aluminum cans. The next step includes processing them, which requires that you take or crop them off at recyclable drop off stations, or storing them in blue trash cans bins for the sanitation system to pick up later in week. These processes only take a matter of minutes and truly help to reduce pollution and environmental effects of just allowing the waste we create to build up.

We as humans living in on this earth should respect and take of it. Too often people become careless and do not do what is necessary to create the best environment for themselves and those around them.  We should recycle because it’s healthy and beneficial, and it also looks pleasant. Recycling is a way to ensure that we do not surround ourselves in our own trash. It is not hard to clean up after ourselves and would only create a better future for ourselves and for the generations that come after us.

Bullying

“Elementary and secondary schools around the country are beginning to actively address the problem of bullies. In your opinion, is bullying an issue that should be addressed by school officials or left to parents? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. “

It is never okay to take advantage of another person mentally, physically, or emotionally.  Bullying is an issue that should never be ignored and too often it is in our society. As early as elementary and middle school children experience being bullied consistently and erratically. Children who suffer with this growing issue are turning to drastic measures to stop it, going as far as to end their lives. An immediate action plan needs to be taken on this problem within schools both by schools officials and parents. They must collaborate to ensure that the problem does not continue or increase in our society.

Victims of bullying are most often insecure kids, who display weakness and intimidation toward other students for whatever reason whether size, intellect, or fashion. Bullying can take many forms, as it can be verbal, physical, or cyber bullying. It causes short and long term physical, mental and emotional health issues for those are victims of it. According to a 2009 Harvard Mental Health Letter school bullying has “long-lasting psychological ramifications for victims as well as for bullies”. The article went on to say that,” Victims of chronic childhood bullying are more likely to develop depression or think about suicide as adults compared with those who weren't bullied, while former bullies are more likely to be convicted of criminal charges”. A recent CBS News reported that Asher Brown and Seth Walsh were just 13 when they killed themselves last month. Both were allegedly targets of anti-gay bullying. According to the British Columbia Ministry of Education in 2000,” There have been enough incidents' of children committing suicide for this reason that a new phrase has been coined: bullycide.”

Often people believe that child bullying leads to criminal records is a myth but According to a study done for National Resource Centre for Safe Schools (1999), bullies who have been identified by age 8 are six times more likely than others to be convicted of a crime by the time they reach the age of 24. They are five times more likely to end up with serious criminal records by age 30.

Sadly, many victims of bullying are too afraid to speak up about their situation in fear that telling others will not help but only make thighs worse. While some bottle their emotions and problems inside waiting for a release, others retaliate doing such things as mass shootings at school. Is it possible that school officials could have done something to stop this issue before it came to this? Or could the parents of the child have addressed the issues their child was facing if they even knew? The answer is yes. Something can be done to prevent these tragic acts from occurring. Parents can take recognition for the issue and help counsel their children, talking to the parents, and school officials to stop it before it gets out of hand. School officials can take action to stoop it by monitoring student behavior more carefully and making sure that students are safe.

Disappointment Personal Essay

In life we all face many disappointing circumstances. Sometime when we take chances and step outside of our comfort zone, we are met with disappointment. A particular time in my life when I faced displeasure was when I sang a solo performance for a Christmas Program a couple years ago. I was only thirteen at the time and had not yet gained complete confidence in my voice, and range of vocal capability. I was on program to sing Midnight, a gospel by collaborating artist Brent Jones and Coco. The song always reminds me that I can and should call on God in the good and bad times because he more than just a way maker. It is one of my favorite songs and I was more than excited to be able to sing it for a church audience that would understand and appreciate it. At the beginning of the performance and slightly before it, I truly felt prepared. I had been to the multiple rehearsals and had practiced with the audio CD I was to use on the day of the performance as a background track because the pianists hadn’t been able to make it to rehearsals and was said to not be coming to the program. Thus, I was shocked on the day of the performance to see him rush into the pianists chair and begin to play the melody of the song. In thinking that the track would begin I waited to perform. I later looked back and saw his signal to begin singing. Fearful with the feeling of unpreparedness, I began to sing. The disappointment didn’t stop there. It was a very cold night and cold weather harms your vocal chords. He played the piano it tunes I was unable to reach and I felt myself going out my vocal range to match the key notes. I squeaked at the bridge of the song and felt my heart sink. Knowing my own capability, I knew that I could have and have already sung better than that.  After the performance I felt so disappointed, both in myself and the failing communication system of the program directors to let us know that they would not be playing the audio track I had brought.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" Memoir

They say you should not judge a book by its cover. Too often this is more easily said than done. We judge people on their appearance from near and afar. We criticize people on first impressions before we even truly know the person.  I myself have judged someone without fully knowing the real them. A particular time I can recall doing so, was in the eighth grade. There was a new boy at school who I incorrectly categorized as being the same as the young men who he hung out with. He was tall and slender and often wore baggy clothing and silver chains with a cross on the end. He hung around the boys at school who were known for being what we all called “bad news”. The boys were known for being disrespectful to teachers and had been said to have stolen before on more than one occasion.   After already passing judgment on who I thought the new guy was I later found myself extremely mistaken. I saw him a few months after his arrival at our school once false rumors had circulated at a church youth conference..He was a youth leader representing his church and more than enthusiastic to preach about the goodness of God. He spoke on how people often judged him without knowing his purpose.  I approached him later on that day and apologized for judging him to be like the boys he hung out with. He thanked me and explained that his purpose in going that was to help guide the young men into a better lifestyle. He had to make them feel comfortable around him before preaching to then on better ways to live their lives. He was successful in his efforts to show the boys a new lifestyle and the next day I spotted all of them at the youth conference. On the last day of the conference the boys dedicated their life to Jesus.

Should Students Get A Weekly Allowance?

“Many parents give children a weekly or monthly allowance regardless of their behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give their children an allowance as a reward for completing chores or when they have behaved properly. Explain what you think parents should do and why. “

                 There is no step by step rule book to parenting. Reflecting on my parents and family members or family friends who are parents I believe that good parents discipline and teach their children to be prepared for the real world by encouraging a positive mentality, physical, spiritual and financial strength to succeed. Some parents feel that rewarding their children by gift giving or financial allowances further encourages them to understand how the real world works with the concept that through doing work you earn a reward. However, in teaching their kids about financial responsibility the can hinder them from reality, because in life good deeds are not always acknowledged and this may prove to be a rude awakening for kids so accustom to receiving them.

Paying your child for good behavior and doing chores around the house is a rather ridiculous parenting system in my opinion. A parent should not have to pay their child to cooperate and be manner able, as things that should come natural through parental discipline not financial rewarding.  My mother always says, “I should not have to pay you to do help out around the house or to descent grades as these things should come natural, you should want to help out around the house, being that you live here, eat here and live with all of the other perks that I pay for”. She also has always taught me to aspire to get a valuable education so that you can get a job you love that pays well. Doing chores is a disciplinary action that has allowed me to see that you have to work for what you want and some work does not always require a financial award. Parents should instill in their children the value of hard work without pay, so that they can truly understand the essence behind real work, not just because it makes a large sum of money. Parents should never have to bribe their children.

Sometimes rewarding children is not always the best way to ensure they cooperate or understand how the real world works. For example, what good would disciplining a child to behave by giving financial gifts do in the event that they get older and are no longer awarded for having manners and being cooperative? What good would rewarding children financially because of simple house hold chores do in the unfortunate event that when they get a job and do a superb job and receive fair pay or any pay at all do? Things like this cripple children and do not fully teach them financial responsibility. Giving children money at young age and showing them that with work, there’s pay does not necessarily teach then financial responsibility.

A child could grow and still make poor financial decisions, not knowing how to manage it properly. To ensure that children understand financial responsibility, parents should instill in their children should effectively discipline their children to behave without pay and should encourage their children to work hard in every aspect of life to receive financial rewards. Giving them a slight glimpse of financial pay is not terrible, but making it a trend could cripple children, rather parents should encourage their child to get a job when old and mature enough to experience real world financial responsibility.

Figure of Speech

1) Time runs out the door
Ever slipping and disappearing
It is too quick to catch
Like hiding go seek and tag mixed
I find it at times and catch up for a minute
Then it goes away again and tries to fly out the window

2) Life is like the beautiful beach in Brazil
Pretty colors of blue and beige; complexions that touch and play in the sand
Turbulent and unpredictable with rain
Then sunny and warm bright
There is laughter and love as people play
Serious and minor waves brush against the surface and smooth across the shore

3) Piano screams loudly
In the choir room
Grand piano black and white keys
Hitting different octaves hard to match vocally
Deep breaths
Harp angelic melodies with the intent to success.

Pride

One must always have self confidence. If you do not believe in yourself no one else will. You must have pride in your accomplishments and the work you strive to complete, so that it is done to the best of your potential. While having pride is in your work is a necessary trait, you must be careful to not be overly confident in your work, as to the point where you offend others through an arrogance or rude attitude. The significance of pride is reflecting on who you are in a positive manner. It is healthy and mentally stimulating. It is good to have confidence and believe in your capabilities because that is one of the things that’s drives us to fulfill our many goals and aspirations. When you make an effort and succeed in certain aspects of life, you gain a certain confidence in who you are and what you can achieve in life. For example, if I am an excellent swimmer  and I work hard and win medals and awards for swimming, I can gain a confident attitude and pride in myself because I know not only know that I have the ability but that others see my strength as well. In instances like these pride is often taken for arrogance or egotism, but it depends on the person and their ability to stay humble while recognizing their talents or gifts and being able to express them without a conceited attitude. Having pride is an essential step in success, but you must be careful not to become too prideful.

Diversity

No one person is the same. We are all diverse because we come from an ancestry of a great mixture. The beautiful thing about the world we live is that we are all creatures of many different shapes, sizes, colors, and tongues.  Diversity is the one thing that distinguishes us and makes use interesting people. Diversity to me is the complex characteristics of personality and physical features that exist amongst us all. The things that divide us from one another as a whole make us a diverse people. For example, living in Los Angeles I have come to understand that it is a large melting pot. It is mixed with different cultures, races, and social statuses, which are all things that make us diverse with the similar environment we call home. To me diversity is one of the best and most interesting things about humans. The various things that make us who we are because we come from different backgrounds, that speak different languages, and carry all together different customs and beliefs about life. That makes life and growth as individuals more interesting because as we learn who we are as individuals we learn about other people’s ways of looking at life that help us better define who we our as an individual. Diversity means the broad things that distinguish us and allow us to better understand the world around us. Diversity is beautiful that allows us to mix together. Sometimes diversity brings peace instead of interest. Some people cannot except the diversity for themselves and others and have a biased view on how the world and their environment should be. Diversity is the acceptance of the rare and differences between all humans and the appreciation for that I n everyone.

Cooperation

Cooperation is essential to success. It requires self discipline and self control. In order to cooperate you must listen and comprehend information effectively. Failing to do so causes confusion and unnecessary harm to one’s self and others. For example, in order to get a project or assignment done completely you have to work in groups. Working as a team requires cooperation with other teammates. Failing to collaborate with other members affects both your grade and the grades of other students in the group. Another example could be if I am driving in a car with a few of my friends in the passenger and back seats and I get pulled over by the police for whatever reason and I fail to cooperate with the police, I place both myself and friends in danger, risking the possibility of getting arrested or getting a criminal record over something that could be so easily solved. Cooperation simply means that you can pay attention, analyze, and clearly act on certain situations and circumstances.  Cooperation is important to me because with it we understand self discipline and how to carry ourselves effectively for positive results. Cooperation means that you think before you speak and act. The way we handle a situation and cooperate greatly affects the outcome of the different circumstances we face. We have to guard our tongues as to what we say and guard our actions to make sure we cooperate so that things are done in a safe, effective, and orderly fashion.

In 20 Years

Communication is forever changing. It has changed drastically within the last twenty years. New advancements in technology have allowed people to communicate in a faster and more convenient ways. Relatively new technological advancements like the radio, computer, and cell phones have all made getting into contact easier. Within the last twenty years, it has not only become for convenient but somewhat safer. You no longer have to solely rely on contacting through letters delivered on foot or by hand. So, possibly one of the ways in which communicating has drastically changed the most, is the time necessary to get a message across clearly. With things like the computer for example, we are able to communicate more effectively. The internet allows us to have access to social networking websites like Facebook, or MySpace, and websites like Oovoo and Skype which are web camera sites to communicate through video, allowing you not only to talk but to see each other while doing so. The cell phone is another advancement in communicating. With cell phones people can talk, text, and socialize on the internet. We can see and keep in close contact with family and friends with only the click of a few buttons. Status updates on social websites like AOL Instant Messaging, Twitter, or Facebook allow us to see our family and friend’s feelings and the things they go throughout the day.  Communicating has come a long way within the last twenty years. It will continue to advance as time goes on.

Descriptive Order

1) Edible-food-bad food- unhealthy- half cooked- pasta-angel hair noodles- stringy- thrown upon a plate- hanging off an unclean table
2) Supply-pen-small-balll point-black ink-writing swiftly across a papper
3) Store- Tiffany's & Co-gift-shiny-expensive-jewelry-silver gold- 24 karrot-ring-size 6- placed upon a finger- golden brown complexion- ring finger- pretty

 In the first description I am desrcibing the process of Eating unhelathy food. I began with a very broa d topic of something that is edible. This could be anything, and then i went on to break it down by saying it was food that was halfway cooked and ent even further to say that the food was pasta and a specific pasta that i use and how lazily it was thrown upon a plate on an unclean table, leaving readers with a sense of disguist from the description.

The second description is one of a pen. I start off with the broad word "supply" and break it down to a specific supply, what it looks like and what it is doing.

The third description is one of a wedding ring. It begins with  a general store, then breaks down to the specific store and what it looks like and what finger it goes on and how it looks.

Effective Teaching

Many people can comprehend a subject but few have the strategic ability to educate others about it. Too few do we find teachers with a passion, vision, creativity and intellect to teach students. An effective teacher goes beyond just presenting information to a room full of students. They must develop the work in a display that will engage students and allow them to understand its significance and apply it to everyday life.  A good teacher must have a true passion for their career, patience, and creativity. There are methods, certain techniques that teachers can use to do their job more effectively.

These techniques can include anything from making visuals and games to using some of the latest technology.  Not every student learns best by reading a book. Some students need visuals to understand concepts more clearly. Creating descriptive class or group games are a good method to engage students in the learning process.  I myself am like that, as I wok and understand best with a real life view on how to apply the concepts.  Technology is also a great way for students to learn. Using videos and computer diagrams that would help explain different subjects is a good way to allow students to see and hear the previous knowledge in class lectures.

Teachers could also take the liberty upon themselves to understand their students’ academic needs a little better. Doing things like having students take tests at the beginning of the school year,  forming conferences with students or taking surveys would ensure that teachers could pinpoint specific areas students struggle and need help in. Teaching can be effective if you adapt the techniques or methods to display information that people understand and can apply to life.
