Problems, Excuses, and Carelessness

If you go and ask your average-everyday middle schooler if they get too much homework from their teachers, your answer would probably be YES! Really, the teachers give reasonable amounts out to students but since there are students that say yes I get too much homework, there is a problem with that. Usually students claim they have “ too much” homework so they show up to school the next day with homework that was assigned not finished, and teachers get excuses after excuses. Since I am a middle schooler, I think that Teachers sometimes give out too much homework. For other students, I think they might think there is also a lot of homework because either struggling on something and it’s taking them hours to finish, or they just have sports activities to go do but they can’t go because they didn’t finish their homework yet.
In this world today, there are different types of kids. In schools, there are also different types of kids, different personalities and everyone is unique in their own way. When it comes down to education, there are mostly two different types of kids. That is, careless and struggling. Kids that are careless really have many reasons why they are “careless” and those “reasons” are just excuses. For kids that have problems, they actually do have reasons.
As students today only care to understand is that the receive TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!! For kids that are careless, they get all bad grades and they won’t care. By this happening, it just makes parents, teachers, and also kids jobs harder. Especially now a days with all these sports activities and kids making plans, takes time out of their studies. Maybe if the state has a rule that they won’t allow kids that get a C or below on their report cards play sports, it would probably make kids understand that they have responsibilities.
On the other hand, there are actually kids that have problems and they just can’t finish their homework because they have a wall blocking them to have success in finishing. This means that teachers need to spend time with their students and teach them new skills. If students learn different ways, they would hopefully adapt to these changes and life would be easier for them.
Finally, if we all come together to overcome these things, we will all be much happier and we would be all smarter but also more responsible and everything would be easier so we don’t have TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!

Homework Given to Students

Kris Kringle or Saint Nick?

Kris Kringle OR Saint Nick?

As you were little, there’s a thing that every little kid believes in, when Christmas Day comes. Yes, that is Santa Claus. Christmas day is a day where our spirits are high and everyone is just very happy. As you get to an age, you start noticing that during the month that Christmas is in (December) there are Christmas songs playing on the radio and Christmas movies start coming on t.v. One of the very famous Christmas movies out is. Miracle on 34th Street. In that movie, that Santa Claus is called Kris Kringle but before that movie came out, everyone just believed that Santa Claus’ real name is Saint Nick.
    All around the globe, there are different names for this believable person but we just have no right name. Strongly, people think that Santa Claus’ name is Saint Nick. And I believe that that is his name because that is the name that I have been thinking that is his real name every since I was little and able to understand things. I also, thought that was the ONLY name out there. People have reasons why the could think that Santa’s name is Saint nick because Saint’s are very nice and Santa is believed to be the Jolliest man alive. Another reason is, every since this holiday started, Saint Nick has been Santa’s name. Not Kris Kringle, Not Frosty the Snowman just plain old Saint Nick.

There are also some theories that Kris Kringle can be the name of Santa Claus. If you have seen the movie Miracle On 34th street, you would understand clearly why Kris Kringle. In this movie, Kris Kringle is the Santa Claus but still people debate on why his name is Kris Kringle and not Saint Nick. This movie is a great Christmas movie but also i would say that some people have something to say badly about it because it is not Saint Nick!!

    To this very day people wonder what his real name is and so do I, but we accept the fact that there is a Santa Claus and a Christmas Day.

   

Dear Santa!!

I realize that the months are flying by so quickly and my favorite holiday is coming very soon. For this Christmas instead of getting billions of toys like a spoiled little brat, I just want this one thing in particular. This one thing would be a purple iPod Nano the fourth generation. Also, I know that every kid that doesn’t get a piece of coal and is on the good list, has one wish and that is my wish that I hope gets to become true.

    The iPod that I have this very moment is the iPod shuffle. This iPod only can hold up to a capacity of 4GB, which is not enough for me to put ALL my music too. I would like the Nano that has 8GB because it lets me expand on my music choices and the variety of different genres I can listen to. This can help me in a way because it won’t make my brain fried by listening to the same exact songs repeatedly.

    If I get this iPod as a present, It won’t just make me happy but it will also make my mother happy because she won’t be annoyed about how I listen to the same things. By me getting this iPod, won’t change my life or the way the globe goes round, but it just may have an effect on me. People may think this is ridiculous and outrageous but to me, I just want this one thing, more than anything in the world.

    I know that your job on this day is very hard and you may not be able to deliver this but please make it one of your priorities to give me this ONE gift!

Sincerely,
Jazmin  Regan
