Summary:
Analyzes the effect of classroom behavior on student learning. Discusses classroom behavior with a substitute teacher.
An educations value is more than just dollars and cents. Without knowing how to read and write, speak correctly, and other important skills you learn in education, you would not be able to pursue a successful career. In most cases, a successful education usually leads to a good career. And a good career, that you enjoy, most likely make the person feel happier. In order to obtain our career goals in life, and our fantasy's, and good education should be very much taken advantage of and appreciated.
Disrupting class, talking out, sleeping, or any other type of misbehavior is disrupting not only the education of myself, but it also disrupts the education of my classmates. When you disrupt the teacher from having the opportunity to teach, it denies the student the opportunity to learn. When you deny a person from learning, you are actually preventing them from pursuing their dreams and goals! It should not matter if there is a substitute in the room or, any teacher in the room at all. You should always act the same, orderly mannered, way no matter the condition of supervision.
I don't feel that our class pursued this theory. Our class was rude and just plain out disrespectful to the substitute. As a student you have the responsibility for being courteous to other classmates by letting them learn. As a student you also have the right to learn. And as a teacher you have the right to teach. If your other classmates can't learn because of your negative behavior, then you are neglecting your responsibility as a classmate.
Everyday, a kid will follow the teachers rules, that are usually have a reason to them (sometimes they don't) so that when you get older you can use them in life. Most students do this because they realize the importance of an education. The behavior rules in the classroom are set so that everyone can get their work done.
If people would just simply sit there and kept their mouths shut, everything would be fine. I don't think any arguments would happen. But, best of all, my classmates and I could get our education! I don't believe a classroom should be completely silent all of the time and no one says anything. But, a few jokes here and there are completely fine. The trick is you need know the difference between when to keep quiet and the right time to joke around.
In conclusion, this assignment has helped me realize that our class was very misbehaved when Mr. Yin was substituting our class. I feel that after everyone has completed this assignment they will see this too. I don't think that our class will ever behave like this again, after realizing how rude and disrespectful they really were to the substitute. I feel that everyone has learned a lot from this experience and will think twice about what they are doing.
