I agree that parents should stop babying their children and giving them everything that they want. ]]> 2018-02-02 14:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227495952 School Article Reflection allen_stotler https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227497474
  • The article is about a therapist critiquing modern parenting techniques and how they affect children. 

    • 2. I first agree with the point the author makes by saying that technology is used as a “babysitter” and changes the way the child deals with stimulation. I also agree with the point the author makes about children having limited social interaction because parents give their children devices. I disagree with the point that the author makes about “kids rule the world”. The examples used of “My son doesn't like vegetables”, and “She doesn’t like going to bed early”, are just examples of children developing personal likes and dislikes, and if they find something they like that is an unhealthy habit, they will face the consequences. Telling your children exactly everything you want them to do is more harmful than allowing your children to do develop their own tastes. 

    3. I don’t feel that the article relates to my lack of interest in school, my lack of interest in school stems from boring teaching styles and a lack of teaching in schools.

There are many things that the parents are doing wrong, for example, letting them do whatever they want instead of the kids doing what the parents want them to do. 
    1. Parents make the mistake of using technology as a way of distracting their kids and not having to deal with them. But they are actually making a huge mistake because they are not taking the time to raise them well.
    2. Kids get everything they want the moment they want it. I have noticed that in the U.S most of the parents give their kids pretty much everything they want at that same moment. In Venezuela it was not like that, parents make you wait until they think is the right moment to give you what you want. I can tell there is a big difference in raising kids and I do believe that there are different results down the path.
    3. I agree that children should not do what they want to do all the time. Instead, kids have to do whatever the parents want them to do. The parents make the rules, not the kids.

  • The article is written by Victoria Prooday who “believes that the first step towards helping children begins from parents’ education.” She goes into depth more on why children come to school emotionally unavailable for learning and what factors in our lifestyles contribute to this. Like technology, getting things the moment you want it, how kids rule the world, endless fun, and limited social interaction.
  • I do agree that children get things the moment they want it. I see this everyday with my younger brother. He always asks for toys or to go to Toys R Us to get the latest edition Ben 10 toys. My parents agree with this just to make him happy and really just to shut him up because a nagging child can get annoying. And in saying this, I also agree with kids rule the world. My brother is a very picky eater, and doesn’t like doing his homework or playing outside, and only enjoys playing on the computer. An my parents have to adjust everything to him and it is as if his is the parent and they are the children.
  • I think it applies to me and my siblings. Especially the technology part. If i spend too much time on technology, it discourages me to do homework and sleep early and this affects me the next day when I go to school. I do plan to work on this because I have noticed it myself. And I especially want to improve this and help out my parents more.

    Points I agree with 
    1. Limit your kids use of technology.
    2. Teach your kids appropriate social skills. 
    3. Convert things that they don’t like doing into fun.
    Points I disagree with 
    1. Make your kids bored.
    2. Kids should not use technology in the car.
    3. Kids should eat healthy all the time.
    I relate to this because I don’t find school interesting and I’m bored in class most of the time.

    1. The article published by Victoria Prooday (a registered occupational therapist), is about children coming to school emotionally unavailable for learning. Prooday believes the first step in raising children is parents education, so the base of children learning is what is being taught at home. It shows the insight of improving children’s knowledge and shows the how to be creative.
    2. I agree with Prooday saying it all starts from the parents education, because what is taught at home is what the child will be raised upon. Another point is setting limits on technology and less constant snacking. What I didn’t agree with was delaying gratification, not having a food option , and using their tablets in the car.
    3. The article apply to me because, I’m often distracted by my phone and have little interest in school.

This article is about kids being lazy and spoiled, and nt wanting to pay attention in school.

    I agree with the fact that 
    children nowadays are used to instant gratification and get whatever they want when they want it and it sets up an unrealistic standard for how the real world works which is why a lot of grown ups live at home with their parents. 
    There’s too much free time kids have and they spend it all on technology when they could be going out forming social skills that could benefit them later in life.
    I agree with the opinion that kids need limits so they don’t go crazy with the amount of freedom they have in their life. 

    This article applies to me because I have a severe lack of interest in school. I love going to school because it means I get to interact with people and form friendships but I show absolutely no interest in the curriculum at all and it reflects in my grades.

Three points I agree with in the article is that kids need to learn how to lose, kids need to spend more time outside more, and kids need to learn how to share. Three points in the article that I disagree with is that kids become bored in class because of video games, kids have an artificial world and no dull moments in life, and I think it is absurd to limit snacking. I think it is okay to snack if you’re hungry, as long as the person is eating healthy snacks. I do not think that this article applies to me because I feel like I am not constantly playing video games, and I feel that the only reason why I am bored in school is because I am too smart for school and it is boring to me because it is too easy. I feel like this article can be applied to many kids in today’s world, and when I have a kid I am going to make him play outside a lot, and I am always going to beat him and show no mercy so he can learn how to lose, because whenever my little cousin loses to me in things, he always cries and it annoys me so my son will never be that way.

The article is about how children are becoming less determined in school. It talks about the things that are making kids lazy. 
    2. technology is not helping kids due to the fact that many kids do not know how to interact with others anymore, because they only do it on their phones. I also agree with parents who baby their children and give them what they want. it does no good to the child. the last thing i agree with is that parents should try tp get kids to bed on time and not let them sit on technology all night.

    1. I agree with kids not going outside, being too connected to technology, and getting what they want when they want.

Three points that I agree with the article are: kids get everything they want the moment they want. When the new iPhone comes out, the minute they hear it is coming they want. I agree with kids rule the world. When kids have minimal control over someone or something, they have the mindset that they have complete control over everything. I agree with how technology is a “free babysitting service” because social limitations are dangerous for kids at a young age, even before they reach middle school years.

  • This article gives tips to parents on how to raise their kids so then they can be more prepared for school later in life. 

    • Limit technology for young kids
    • Kids shouldn't get everything they want the moment they want it 
    • Kids should help their parents around the house 
    3. I agree with this article and I think if we use technology less and interact more school will be better.

Sometimes we feel as though the people at school are not really our people and they turn their backs against us constantly. It is hard to find ourselves when are teachers and parents and even friends are always trying to change who we are and who we are becoming. In this article it talks about how hard it is hard for us to focus at school. This is true because we are all urging to get out of school. Our attention span only last about 17 minutes because that is how only most of us are during junior year. We can barely focus for those 17 minutes let alone the 8 hours were in school. It is also hard to concentrate when we are hungry and trying to focus. Our teachers and administration does not allow us to eat and empty tummies are hard to focus with. We should have more creative time in school also. Allow us to express ourselves and figure out what we want to do.

The article is an illustration about how kids are becoming lazy, bored, and undetermined in school. It explains that kids don't help around the house and are antisocial due to technology. It says that the kids are blind to anything in the real world because they get everything they want and aren't encouraged to work for gratification. Also, the article partly blames the parents for giving into the ways.
    2. I agree with the point that kids are becoming more antisocial due to technology. the point that children are starting to be desensitized to the real world by non strict parenting. And that there is a grey area of kids having fun al the time.
    3. The article applies to me because I get distracted and bored really easily and i think it" mainly due to technology and me not being used to waiting for things.]]>     2018-02-02 14:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227504494     School Article Reflection ramon_fernandez1 https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227505454 This article is about how our children are becoming less determined in school. Children these days are very lazy and do not focus on school. Kids are not helping around the house to make their parents life easier when they get to their home. Kids are being too addicted to technology when it's not necessary. We understand that technology is important these days, but not for everything, if we don’t allow kids interact with technology, in the future they won’t know how to act, how to do things that for other people are everyday things. That's important because it would stress them out when they stay behind compared with others.]]> 2018-02-02 14:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227505454 School Article alfredo_hurtado https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIIIPer2_SchoolArticleReflection/wish/227505664 1. This article is  talking to us about the things in this world that are making children more lazy and their capability of doing anything on their own. They are starting to rely on technology to have fun and be entertained.
    2. I do agree with the author because technology nowadays are huge distractions. Kids should be spending more time outside rather than staying home and playing on technology. Making a schedule helps a child because it is giving them time off their technology and more time helping out in the house which is very helpful to the parents. 
    3. This article applies to me because it is showing me how we are relying more on technology nowadays rather than the real world. We should be using it less and focusing more on school and helping out our parents.

I agree that kids use my too much technology on their free time and do not socialize with others. Kids in the day of age would rather use their time to be on the internet than to socialize with friends. I also agree with Prooday that kids need to learn how to have patience. She states that things don’t come at a moments notice in life, and that we have to wait for things to come. Another point that she states is that kids have to have responsibilities. For example, children need to have chores like folding laundry, hanging up their clothes, cutting the grass. These responsibilities will teach them to be a more independent person. This article applies to me, because I tend to lose interest in school at times. I have to learn to become more focus in more important things in my academics.

  • The article is about how times have changed and kids and parents seem to be switching roles. It gives insight on ways to teach a child’s brain to act accordingly so they can be successful for the future. If they follow Victoria Prooday’s given strategies and points, kids may be more successful in school as well. 
  • I agree with some things Victoria said like less technology use, less constant snacking, and to have an earlier bedtime. I disagree with kids not having a food option, delayed gratification, and using their tablets in the car.  Kids are young and should enjoy the food that they want while they can; since they have a faster metabolism. 
  • This article applies to me because it has taught me that I should use my phone less and communicate and do activities with my family more. I also believe that if I go to sleep earlier I will be more successful in school.

This article is about parenting methods and ways for parents to help their children be more creative, patient, and responsible. 
    2. Three points in the article that I agreed with was for parents to work on limiting technology and to set limits. Something I didn't agree with was for parents to train delayed gratification, at least in my family this is not the case, my parents usually make my brother and I earn or wait for an answer on what we can do & where we can go.
    3. This article has helped me realize that I should try to use my phone less and go to sleep more early in the week as it will probably help me be more attentive and interactive at school.

    Agree with 

    • I agree with the point that children need less time away from technology and more time outside.
    • I agree that children need to learn they cant get what they want when they want it.
    • I also agree that children need to partake in dutys at home even as small as “tidying up their toys.”


    I agree with the points and parent advice given in this article but to tell you the truth I dont hat school but I dread the classroom. Honestly that depends on the teacher and atmosphere of the classroom, If the leader of the class is a deprived, monotone, un exciting person then I have no intentions in being in that class or learning. Its also the other way around, for example in Mrs. Z class i enjoy going to class and learning because the atmosphere is fun and exciting. 

    If all my teachers suck then the only reason I go to school is to socially interact with others and play football and rugby.

Gives parents different alternatives to make their children more creative, patient, responsible and simply to managed their lives in a healthy stress less way when they are older. 
    2. I agree with most of the things the author is saying, especially when it comes to children getting what they want, nowadays parents let themselves get controlled by their children thinking they are doing them well when in fact they are harming them. 
    3.This article applies to me in a way because sometimes I get to caught up on my phone instead of spending time with my loved ones

  • The article,  "Why are our children so bored at school, cannot wait, get easily frustrated and have no real friends?" teaches us that, nowadays, kids aren’t being disciplined the way they should. The person to blame behind a child’s shoddy attitude is the parents. Kids are given what they want when they want it, which leads to lack of disciple. Parents responsible to be the martinets of the kids, and must provide what is needed only when it is needed. 
  • We make kids happy in the moment by giving them what they want, but in the long run we are harming them. I have seen and continue to see a decline in kids’ social, emotional, and academic functioning, as well as a sharp increase in learning disabilities and other diagnostics. Have family dinners, board game nights.
  • I agree with the points made in the article. I believe that it is emotionally healthy to say “no” to your kids every now and then. To say yes constantly and always giving your kid what they want leads to weakness, and could potentially affect their future. Without a budget on your child’s wants, they may expect the world, and once they are in the real world, they won’t know what to do. This is leading to  one way ticket to the extinction of the human race.
