responding to student writing:

When it comes to responding to anything that students write, specifically young students, its important to be encouraging even while critiquing the work. The mistakes that the students have made should be categorized. Some errors are should be brought to attention to the student, while others can wait. I think its okay if the student uses the word 'because' or uses contractions in their writing depending on the grade level.

Cheating

Cheating is dirtyyyyy and it's dumb. A person does not learn anything from creating. yeah, you got an A on the test, but you're still a retard. Test and papers are for our own good. If a person believes that he or she must cheat, they should not be in the class. I do understand that sometimes students get in a crunch and they do not have enough time study. Most teachers will understand and give an extra day. Teachers want students to learn and do their honest best. A person might get a degree from a university by cheating but they will not succeed at their job. He or she will just be left jobless with thousands of dollars in dept because of tuition fees. Cheating can only bring temporary success. Honestly pasting a test feels so much better than getting a good grade on a test. Eventually everybody learns that cheating does not do them any good.
