During our history project, I felt like I did most of the work. I was in charge of researching the information, preparing the slides, and putting together the presentation. My classmate didnt do a lot. She didn't answer messages and only attended one class. I thought, why is she dosnt helping me it is not fair that we do everything and she doesn't do anything." I felt incredibly frustrated, stressed, and disappointed because I wanted us to do well as a team. Also, I was embarrassed to say anything directly to her because she's my friend, and I didn't want our friendship to be ruined over a project. I didn't think she was worth it.

In school, there is a class that seems really easy and really hard to fail. Art. There are two teachers who don’t seem to be open to listen to the students, in which their assignments are taken too seriously just to be art, this class can be fun but the teachers make it really tedious, not letting students finish art pieces in other time and if the student can’t be in the class for a justified matter, they don’t seem to care, they say you need to take the work home and if you don’t finish, they put 0 in every section of the gradebook, being really closed to even helping the students or listening to them, this, causing many of the students of the class to fail.

The other perspective would be the person who is doing the bullying and even tho it may seem like he woulc have no perspective, this student is very insecure, he has a lot of problems in his house and his parents fight a lot, in school pretends that he is perfect and happy all the time but in reality he gets home and all he does is cry, so to let go of his feeling and make himself feel more important, like making someone feel bad will make him feel less bad, and because the example his parents give him is fighting and violence he thinks this is the right thing to do, he is very lost and most of the time he feels very empty, like there is nothing that really matters.

During a group project in my shoá class, I felt like I was the only one taking responsibility and doing the work. I stayed up late searching for facts and making the presentation ,while the other people in my group where barely participating. One person kept making excuses, saying they were busy with other work and had things to do, and the other just didn’t respond. I was really mad because if i did not finish the work i was going to get a bad grade. I thought, Why am I the only one who cares about this grade? I assumed they were lazy or just didn’t care as much as I did. It made me feel like I had to do everything on my own, and that wast fair.

The situation is that during school recess, a child did not let another child play soccer because he did not have the appropriate shoes to play and could hurt the others.

In this case, I didn't want to hurt the kid who wanted to play soccer, but I thought he might hurt me and the others. So, it would be a little dangerous, and that's why I didn't want to let him play. I know it might have felt awkward, but I gave him plenty of options to play, and all he wanted to do was play in those sneakers.

We did a hard exam in class. When we finished, the teacher announced that she needed to go to the principal’s office, and left us alone with the exams for 10 minutes. While she was gone, some of my classmates took the exams and changed their answers. A few days later, while the teacher was checking the exams, she noticed that many exams looked different than when they were handed in. She realized what the students did and told them that if nobody confessed, they would all get a zero.

I saw the event happen, but I did not change my exam. I knew that if I told the teacher who did it, I would be called a snitch, but if I did not say anything, I would get a bad grade and be an accomplice.

From my point of view, I did want to be more involved in the project, but that week I had a lot of exams and assignments for other subjects. I feltreally stressed and tried to do what I could, but I struggled to stay organized. Furthermore, history isn't a subject that I am good at it but i try . I thought what I was doing was enough since that's what they told me to do. I know it's not much, but it's what they told me to do. I was embarrassed to tell my classmate that I didn't quite understand because I didn't want her to think I was stupid. So I decided not to give my opinion and just stick to that small part of the work.

The conclusion that we can get from this situation is that things aren't always black and white, sometimes we have to empathise with the other person's feeling and understand that maybe the reason why they are doing something is because they are going through something or they are trying to ask for help, so instead of just looking to one side like the guy who is getting bullied we should also look into the other side of the guy who feels unhappy, and maybe this way both of the students would connect and be able to have a conversation and maybe become best friends understanding that everyone is going through things and we should be empathetic with those around us.

A very common problem that can happen is when students have a hard time with a subject because they don't understand and ask questions but are not clear and don't understand at the time of the exam the student fails. I think the teacher's perspective is that he didn't pay attention, that he was always distracted and many times he doesn't notice the difficulty and the student's perspective is that the teacher didn't help me, he doesn't like me, he failed me, he's going to send me to extraordinary, how little I hate him, the perspectives of both are that the child is doing it on purpose and the teacher is mean because she hates me

Itzjak feels like it is unfair to do the whole work that was supposed to be worked in partners, and not only that but to also have to share the credit for his work with Michelle. Itzjak asked her several times to do the work with him and while he was doing it by himself saw Michelle talking to her friends and she even left class for a while to "go to the bathroom". Itzjak feels like in order to resolve the situation, the team should be split up, he could have the work that they "did together" and Michelle should have to do the assignment again with less time.

In this situation where a kid didn't want to let me play soccer just because of the tennis shoes I wanted to wear, I felt really bad because I just wanted to have fun and although there were some who wanted to let me play within the group of those who were playing, but 3 kids including the one who approached me directly to tell me that I couldn't play. Honestly, I felt that I could play and that there wouldn't be any problems, they gave me the opportunity to play but without tennis shoes or with other tennis shoes that wouldn't hurt others, but I didn't want to accept that option since I was only good with the tennis shoes I was wearing, it was as if they were a secret from me since with those I could play soccer too well.

(Other persons perspective)

I know it seemed like I didn’t care about the project, but that’s not true. I was dealing with a lot of homework that week and felt really stressed. I had a math test and it was also the aviv so i had rehearsals all day long. I just couldn’t keep up. I told the group I was busy, and to let my finish my part at night, but I think they thought I was making excuses. I wanted to help, but I didn’t know where to start, and by the time I checked the group chat again, most of the work was already done. I feel bad that it seemed like I didn’t want to participate and was worried of getting a bad grade.

A student argues with a teacher because he hasn't been to class in recent weeks due to an upcoming dance competition in which the school is participating and the student is the main character. The student has received zeros on all his assignments and defends himself by saying that it is unfair, since his absences are justified. He feels frustrated because he does not have enough time to complete his assignments and is not allowed to hand them in later, even though the competition is part of the school's activities. He does not understand what gives the teacher the right to give him those grades and is convinced that he should have a longer period of time to submit his homework and assignments. Additionally, he finds the class tedious and difficult, and he needs his teacher's explanations in order to complete his assignments.

The teacher hasn't seen his student for the past few weeks of school. The rules state that if there is an excused absence, the student has only one week to turn in the work. Since he hasn't seen his student and hasn't received any work, the teacher decides to give the student a 0 on all the missed assignments. The teacher didn't receive any additional information about his absence, but he still follows the school rules. When the student asks for an extension of time, he refuses, mentioning that the rules do not allow it.

While working on a school project, my partner and I disagreed on how we should start our business project. I believe the best approach is to start with a brainstorming session to lay out the best possible ideas for the business. However, my partner thinks we should begin by focusing on solving problems, as that’s the key to starting a successful business. I argue that the main objective of a business is to make money and grow, rather than simply solving other people’s problems. While solving problems is important, the ultimate goal is to create value and drive profitability.

The other perspective would be the teacher’s perspective, where they think their class is the most important thing in school, if a students is not in class for whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter, it’s their responsibility to finish the assignments, working hard no matter where they are or why did they miss the class. Not finishing an assignment is something that students should be really careful about. Having one unfinished assignment should impact the grade in total, every assignment is really important, every student should put the same effort into this class as in their other classes. Us teachers are teaching them a lesson to work harder and to show them that in life there are no bending rules, not finishing an assignment, delivering late, and not compromising would be a 0 immediately, because that’s how life really is.

Michelle believes she contributed to the work, she knows she did not do as much of it as Itzjak but still feels like she did an important part of it. Yes she accepts that she may have talked to her friends for a while and also needed to have a bathroom break but still argues that Itzjak also talked to his friends. Michelle believes that in order to resolve the current problem Itzjak should stop being so "annoying" and accept that just like him she also put a lot of effort into this assignment, and if that does not happen she should get the parts she did of the work and they should split up.

The first perspective:

Alejandro is very frustrated because he feels that he is doing all the work because Liat chose who does what so he thought that Liat only chose the easy tasks for her, he feels that he is doing all the hard job, and Liat isn't cooperating, so Alejandro told her what he was feeling but Liat didn't react as he expected because Liat said she didn't do it that way so they started discussing, finally Alejandro was frustrated because he didn't know how to manage this situation nor, how to fix it because he didn't want to leave it like this (The teacher was absent).

Analyzing it from a third point of view as if he hadn't been involved in this problem, I think that their fight was very immature since they could have settled it very easily without hurting anyone's feelings, but however, one of the two gave a good perspective since he gave multiple options but sometimes it also affects a lot the way you say things or how you approach the person so clearly I can think that the other person may feel very bad since he was bothered by how many children turned to tell him that he can't play. The solution that I think they could have used is for the child who had those shoes to become a goalkeeper because that way he wouldn't have much contact with the other players and he wouldn't hurt anyone and that way he can play with his tennis shoes that he likes and that he is comfortable with. I learned that you will never be able to solve problems in an aggressive manner.

# data[].attributes.body
From the student's perspective, it's unfair that even though his absences are related to school, he is not allowed to hand in his work afterward. He is frustrated because he did not have a chance to do the assignments due to time constraints, and he did not fully understand what he had to do, making the material difficult for him. The teacher, on the other hand, is simply following the rules. In this case, I think it is a communication problem. If the student had found a way to interact with the teacher from the beginning to explain the situation and for the teacher to support him with the work, all of this would have been avoided. I also think the teacher could have been more understanding and made an exception, allowing the student to hand in the work, explaining the topics covered in class, and taking some of his time to ensure his students are satisfied with their knowledge of the subject.

The situation is very difficult because on one way, the perspective one has a point that is very big since she did most of the work and her friend does not value her effort in the history project, but on the other hand, perspective two is afraid to tell things to her friend because she is afraid of being seen as an idiot, then that means that it may be that the person from perspective one does not create a comfortable environment for her friend, making her feel humiliated.

The two people in this situation saw things very differently. The first (me) person felt like they were doing the whole work and carring the responsability of the project. The second person, actually cared but was overwhelmed and busy with other homework and didn’t know how to manage their time to help. Because they didn’t explain what they were going through, the first person assumed that their classmate was just lazy and didn´t wanted to work. This shows how important communication is in group work. I learned that people might seem lazy on the outside, but inside they could be stressed, confused, or dealing with pressure we don’t see. Taking the time to check with each other can really help avoid misunderstandings, and everyone can be happy if they comunicate.

I was on recess when a friend of mine invited me to play soccer with the kids one year older than me (the 8th graders) and at first I was a little scared because they are stronger than me but I agreed to play with them anyway, I started to play really well, there was a play where I had the ball and I was about to score when I felt a kick on my ankle, it turns out It was the best player in 8th grade, at the moment of the kick I felt like something broke and it hurt a lot but he didn't even come over to see how I was, as if nothing had happened.

We had a project on math class this week, we needed to make a long presentation, solve lots of problems, and present it to the class. I felt like I did the whole work, the problems, most of the presentation, and the other guys did basically nothing, from my side it felt like I was not rude with them or nothing, I just asked them to do the work and help me because I could not do it alone.

But I think that the other guys felt a little insulted by me, and they are saying that it is really hard to work with me.

While my partner and I were discussing how we should start with the project ideas, I started feeling stressed because my partner didn’t even listen to the ideas I had. He didn’t pay attention or value what I had to offer. I feel like my partner isn’t suited to work in teams, and I’m seriously considering doing this big project alone. It's frustrating because not only does he not listen, but he also doesn't contribute much. It seems like we're just not getting along, and it's affecting the progress of the project, but after talking to the teacher i realized that we need to get along.

# data[].attributes.body
One time, my friend asked me to copy my homework, but I didn't let him. It's not because I don't care, but I think copying isn't the right thing to do, because he isn't learning anything and is only cheating instead of learning, the purpose of the homework is to learn and practice. Also, if the teacher found out, we could get in trouble. I felt terrible saying no, but it was the best for both. I hope my friend understands, I'm just trying to help in a better way. He probably felt betrayed, uncomfortable, and worried, and I was also sad, guilty, and worried.

# data[].attributes.body
The analysis for this conflict is neither black or white, teachers and students should find an in between, to find a balance that provides a better result for both parts. Students should have more compromise in the class, but also teachers should be more open and understand the different situations a student can have, they should listen to the students and find an agreement that is good for both, this helping to have a better class and a better development of learning for the students as well as the teachers. Both parts should make a change, and this change will make the class much better in all the aspects.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Michelle is being more reasonable but Itzjak also has a reason to believe what he does. For me its too late to solve this issue in a way that its fair to both of them and the only way to have solved it in that way was if the issue was solved at the start of the class when almost no work had been done. Either way if I was the teacher I would take Michelles first solution asking both of them to leave differences aside and finish the work together, and if they did not want to do that they could both start over again and do it individually this time.

Liat is feeling untrusted and betrayed because she thought Alejandro was her friend and would trust her about how she divided the tasks, Liat did it randomly exactly so there wouldn't be these types of situations, Liat said that she didn't care how they were going to be divided, she only did it so they could start working and finishing the work that was assigned for both of them.

She claims that the tasks she is doing are also very hard and they aren't the "easy" ones, they both keep fighting and Liat gets even more frustrated because she has been having a tough week so she isn't getting comprehensive with Alejandro and she doesn't want to change anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main difference between us is that one focuses on the project, while the other focuses on the partner. The first one is stubborn and believes their ideas are the only ones that are right, while the other is stressed because their partner doesn’t pay attention. I think the main problem is communication. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, or pros and cons, but in the end, they are equally capable and have value to offer.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like they both have their reasons, and it's a complicated situation because they are misinterpreting the intentions and facts, and mostly because the teacher is absent, what i would do is get calm and try to get to a solution without fighting, they both should put from their part so this conflict ends, exchange a task or something like that.

Also, Alejandro should understand Liat because she is going through a tough week so it's been hard for her.

In conclusion, I would get to an agreement with my partner from the beginning about how they are dividing the tasks so they don't end up in this kind of situation.

# data[].attributes.body
In every story there is always two parts of the history, in this case it was one guy that was wrong because all of the team was saying that he did not behave with respect to all of them and that is why he did not get helped. I think that if he wouldn't be rude since the beginning he would have had what he was complaining of since the beginning, what makes every team work as one and have good result is having respect to all of the teams integrants. in this case that one guy did wrong and the result was not good

# data[].attributes.body
This is with the perspective of a student who cheated.

I did not have time in the week to study for the exam, so when I answered, I knew that I would not get the best grade. So when the teacher left the class for a little while, I considered the opportunity. I did not know what to do: I am not a liar, but if I got one more bad grade I would fail the class. So when I saw all the other students changing their answers, I thought that it would be fine since I was not the only one. I felt guilty afterwards, but I knew that I was doing it not to be dishonest, but to not fail the class.

So when a few days later the teacher told us she knew what we did, my stomach dropped. I felt really guilty. No one was confessing, so if I did it, everyone would hate me for it, and if I did not say anything we would all get a zero. I knew that I was not the only one who did it, but we were all too scared to confess, so nobody was doing it.

# data[].attributes.body
The conclusion of these two points of view is that while one was only focused on playing and having fun, the other was very angry and all he thought about was how to hurt the other, which means that many times two people can be in the same situation and at the same time but they live very different perspectives and concentrate on totally different things, and also in this case the 8th grade boy felt a threat against the 7th grade boy although the little boy never had intentions of hurting him and was only concentrating on playing and having fun.

One time I asked my friend if I could copy his homework for a class. I didn't have time to do it on the last day because I had many things to do, like football, and my English class and I arrived at my house at 10:00 pm and I needed to shower and have dinner. But my friend said no, he told me that it wasn't right, and I should have done it. It hurt me because I thought he would understand and have my back. I was counting on my friend, and he let me down. I felt frustrated, disappointed, maybe even alone.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a really hard situation, specially because it happened in real life in a class I am in. We all felt guilty, but at the same time the peer pressure could be felt in the air. We all felt individual responsibility, and wanted to come clean, but nobody wanted to confess what they did. I think the solution to the issue is communication, if all the students communicated and talked about confessing at the same time, they would not have felt so much peer pressure. In the end, what the teacher did in real life was that she opened her office for everyone to go anonymously to state what they did, so we talked about doing it and even now no one knows who confessed and who did not, but we know that most of us actually confessed.

# data[].attributes.body
One person saw the situation as a test of friendship, while the other saw it as a matter of responsibility and honesty. Both of them had good intentions but viewed them completely differently the situation, The second person did not have any time, and he needed his friend, but on the other side the first person was right because it was wrong to pass the homework and cheat, that's why he didn't pass it to him and the second person felt betrayed by his friend. I learned that empathy means looking beyond the surface and trying to understand someone's reasons, not just their actions.
