Caseworker Brittany Martinez completed a face to face visit with Chardonnay Hunnicutt at John Horn High School located in Mesquite, Texas. I sat with Chardonnay and Caseworker Erica Elliott in the Assistant Principal’s office. Chardonnay was wearing a purple shirt with blue jeans. Chardonnay’s hair’s appeared to be worn in an Afro style, she stated she had taken her braids out the night before. I asked Chardonnay how school was going. Chardonnay stated that her grades were good, but in one of her classes, she was failing until she turned in a missing assignment. I asked Chardonnay if she had gotten any trouble lately. Chardonnay stated she couldn’t remember when she got in trouble, but she did remember that she was upset about something. Chardonnay…
The Cleveland Browns pulled off a stunning trade with the New England Patriots. Cleveland acquired linebacker Jamie Collins for a late third round pick. This pick was awarded to the Browns as compensation for losing key players to free agency so this ends up being a great deal.…
Jamie Heyes is a good kid who was forced to either let his teammate die or to take action in a situation in the heat of the moment, and what all of us are here to bring to light is weather he wanted to kill Valdez. I can tell you for a fact not a material one that Jamie had no intent to kill, and the evidence supports this. The prosecution cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any of its points are indisputable or differing experiences…
Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today we are charging Brandon Trinh with the violation of a weapon on school grounds. On April 21st, School Resource Officer of Great Oak High School, Israel Sosa, made a police report upon an allegation of suspect Brandon Trinh carrying a knife on school campus. Upon further investigation, Brandon admitted to carrying a pocket knife with a 3’’ blade for several months for the sole purpose of intimidation against the bullies in his JROTC class and had reportedly stated he “only showed one other student.”. Despite the multiple school counselors on site, Trinh acknowledged his mistake in not informing one. Although his demeanor against the bullies was in a defensive way, the intimidation tactic itself…
He walked out of the classroom, with his hands crossed over his chest, not looking back at the fiery red face of Mrs. Wilson. Even though he didn’t look back he could feel her rage staring at him, along with everyone else in the classroom, as he silently walked to Principal Robert’s office.…
4. Should Ms. Reid turn the incident into a learning situation for the entire class? If she does so,…
Blue made sure to see that the students were receiving positive feedback. When each of the students entered the room, they retrieved their binders and all sat down quietly. Each of the students were very respectful to each other in that whenever someone raised their hand to speak, they were the only ones who spoke. There was no character development program or a posted set of rules displayed in her classroom. In her classroom she did the majority of the talking while the students listened and answered her questions. In the high school classroom, there was quite a bit of talking and disruption among the students in the beginning. There were many students who were up and walking around while he was discussing the homework. There was no character development in the classroom. Mr. G didn’t seem tell really be listening to his students, one student had to repeat his question three times. Each teacher provided a way to show respect and understanding to their students, and then the other showed a class room that didn’t have much respect for each…
Gary was more than proud of the fact that he gave his students a quiz everyday in his Latin class so that they would remember what they had learned the day before. Gary also wanted his students to apply what they were learning to the real world. While interviewing my grandfather he said, “In American Government, I never gave a student an A unless they did at least two ‘A projects’.” These “A projects” were simple things like interviewing a local politician or going to a town meeting. Gary confided that discipline had been the hardest part of being a teacher for him, but he always had the best strategy for dealing with rowdy students. His plan was extremely simple, “if a student would act up in class I would say, ‘that is a great point. Maybe you should stay behind after the bell so that we can discuss it’,” this phrase would make the color drain from even the worst troublemaker’s face. Unlike his co-workers when he first began working, Gary refused to yell at or hit any of his students. In his forty-two years of teaching, the idea of it never crossed his mind. Being a teacher takes a lot of patience, and just as his father always said, “just know you are smarter than the kids, and that you have more experience than…
Pudge and the others showed the theme of friendship when a their close friend, Alaska Young died. Pudge, the Colonel, Takumi, and Lara, pulled a risky prank which would cause each of them to be expelled immediately if it was found that one of them were involved in the prank. The Colonel and Alaska had come up with the prank and were going to do it the next year as it would be senior year. However, because Alaska had passed, the Colonel decided it was best to execute the prank in their junior year so the prank would be dedicated to Alaska. The prank involved a recommendation for a “speaker” from Pudge’s father who would prepare a presentation on sexuality in teenagers for Speakers Day. The dean of students, Mr. Starnes, accepted the “speaker”. Little did he know, the “speaker” was actually a male stripper hired by the Colonel and Pudge. The prank was executed seamlessly and no one was expelled. Pudge and the others risked getting expelled for a prank because of their friendship and love for each other existed. It would not have happened if someone dear to their hearts had…
Richard Vernon’s behavior management strategy is about as useful as fork in a sugar bowl. In one scene, Vernon gives John eight detentions for him talking back to Vernon. Students should face the consequences of their actions, and if detention is something the school does, then Vernon is not in the wrong for handing out a detention. However, as a teacher, Vernon should have a cool and calm conversation with John, instead of threatening him. Vernon ended up looking a fool in front of the students by letting John get to him. A teacher who does not respect his students will never be given respect in return. Vernon’s use of essays during detention is a good idea, but the topic of the essay isn’t so good. Instead of the students writing about who they are or who they think they are, the students should write about the reason why the are in detention and what lead up to the event that landed them in detention. Through that essay, Vernon would have chance to understand that his students are facing some difficult times and they need an adult to show them the right path, not throw them in detention and ignore that there is a deeper…
Starting in seventh grade Jamie Nabozny was bullied almost daily. He was hit punched, kicked, and called names. He told the principle who said he would get help, but nothing changed. By the end of seventh grade Jamie tried to commit suicide by swallowing pills. Jamie returned to middle school for eighth grade and was cornered in the bathroom on the first day back. His mother immediately demanded a meeting with the bullies and their mothers to try to settle the bullying. The principle blamed Jamie for being openly gay and said boys will be boys. None of the bullies were punished.…
“How to balance his self right to expression while preventing it from distracting others” proved to be more difficult than they thought (Setoodeh 43). Larry began to push his rights as far as he could take them (Setoodeh 43). Larry was a problematic child and began to harass other boys in school; “in the locker room he would tell them ‘you look hot’” (Setoodeh 43). These incidents caused him to get switched into a different gym class as a preventative notion (Setoodeh 43). On other occasions Larry would talk to the “popular boys” in lunch and talk like a girl(Setoodeh 43). Larry would also go up to boys in the hallway and tell them “you know you want me [ … ]”(Setoodeh 44). In February Larry’s grades started to drop from all the attention he was getting (Setoodeh 45). “’He was like Brittany Spears, says one teacher who knew Larry. Everyone wanted to know what he was going to do next’” (Setoodeh…
The Assistant Principal indicated that the aggressive action was atypical, and that typically Jayden comes to the office before he engages in a physical action. Team discussed alternatives and the results if Jayden exhibits this type of aggression in the community. He could be charged with assault and battery.…
I on the other hand struggled with making friends, fitting in, and just adjusting to this new class. Caesar was influenced by Cathedral and Multrey to force Pancho Morrison into giving up his bottom bunk as a way of showing dominance and letting “him know who rules”(Cathedral, 77). Similar to how they convinced Caesar I was also convinced by my friend Gabe to bully a Chinese boy named Sam. I don’t blame my friend as much as I blame myself for carrying out all the verbal and physical abuse that we caused him. I can’t remember if I did it to seem cooler in front of Gabe or to show how tough I can be, but all I know is that I would regret it later on. During History class my teacher called out Gabe and me to report to the dean’s office. As we were leaving my teacher held the door open with the look of disgust and shame, I already knew what this was about, considering Sam wasn’t in the room. I was considered one of his better students and he would never look at me the same. The dean didn’t call our parents. Instead he had us apologize to Sam and gave us a warning that if either one of us continued harassing Sam that he would get the cops involved. I could try and play the “I was just a kid” card, but I knew what I was doing just like Caesar did when he assaulted Pancho. Ever since that…
At the commencement, no one at the affluent, suburban high school relishes the weird incipient kid who looks akin to a Buddhist monk and scrounges at lunch. Albeit, Justin is drawn to the stranger and bulwarks him against vicious school bullies. This reveals Justin’s stoutheartedness towards not only McManus but the rest of Rucher High. Withal, despite incremented harassment from a bullying crowd, Jinsen relucts to fight, seek revenge, or get school officials involved, simply relucting to join the narrative they are recruiting him for. This sanctions him to keep his promise to Kim and his mother. A text to self connection I can make from this is how valiancy is something in this world that anyone can have including students. To culminate, in contrast to the many stories where the bullies/jocks/student "bellwethers" had the contentment of optically discerning their victims beaten down and acting victimized, here you have an incipient, "outlandish" kid (Jinsen) who won't give them that…
