Chapter two

I would have also have to agree with everyone’s blogs this far.  I know students use short cuts Kimberly because I was one of those students in high school.  I wasn’t a very academically motivated student then and I would do as many short cuts as possible.  I think this is a common theme with students though; why would they work so hard when they can take short cuts and have the work and get the same grades.  As far as students using cheat sheets or teachers letting them use them, I would have to disagree because I am elementary ed.  Elementary is so important in building the basic fundamentals I feel they don’t need them.  I really don’t have an opinion for high school because that’s not my area to speak for.  In my practicum now, the students were spelling words on their own with dry ease boards and I saw one student just copied the person across from him, upside down and backwards.  I separated him and then he started working better on this own.  This is just one small simple way of taking away short cuts.
