Behavior Plan

            If I were to be the principal at Furness high school, there are many ways that I can encourage student to do more work and behave. One thing I can do is speak to them. What I would say to them is that, this is their life, this is their grade, and this is what can determine how their future look like. If they are to act like a kid and don't pay attention to the future, no one can help them and later they realize that they are the one that ruined their own future.

           If I were to be the principal, I would plans more ideas to encourage students to pay attention to their teacher. One of my plan was to give student who do a good job a big prize every month because many students tend to do work to get a prize which is something that encouraged them to do more work. And every month the prize will go to those who had a good grade in front of the whole school to show to the other that this is what they can do too and this is what they can get if they doing the best to get good grade also make the future better for them later on.

         If I were to be the principal, every week there will be one day that I would plan a challenge for them which is to treat them like college student, to make them see what it's like to be in college, and to show them what's going to happen after high school. The work will be harder, like make them write couple of essay which is due the next week when there will be a new challenge for them.

        I agree to Mr. Riccobono idea. Giving prize is a pretty good ideas to keep student participate and many student like to be a group of something. If they were to be in the group with good student, they become popular and plus everyone want to be popular so they would try harder to stay into that group. If I were to recommend a change, it would be the group name because I think is sound a little weird but other than that the idea is perfect.

     

Challenging Beliefs or Ideas

            One time, my friend and I have a challenge about our grades in one of our classes. My friend believe that the class that we got is easy and he will get A or B on his report cards, but I believe that he will get C or D in his report cards. We will be able to find out who would get a higher grades.

             Because of this challenge we have between us, each of us study even harder. I wanted to win so bad because I don't want to be under other. I want to be better at least because I feel that if I lose, it hurt my pride. We still friend and talk to each other like we use two even when we have to go against each other. we both know that this is how it like in real life even when you have to compete  with each other.

           Later on, we got the report cards and find out who win. The result was he win. From my point of view, I think that the reason he got good on his report card was because, he been study hard to win, which give him a good result. His grade got better and he win with pride.

           Challenging things can be good and bad for yourself. The good thing about this challenge is that we both get to make our grade better and even get to learn that our grades use to be bad because we never really pay attention to it, but after we do this challenge, we find out what we have been missing.
