Ellen Granz lied to her teacher about why she hadn’t done her homework, but, of course , many students have lied to their teachers. The is that Ellen Glanz was a 28-year–old high school teacher who was a student for six months to her teaching by gaining a fresh perspective (视角)of her school.
She found many classes , students doing as little as necessary to pass tests. She concluded that many students have little power and for their own education.
Ellen Glanz found herself doing the things. There was the day when Glanz wanted to join her friend’s party to the purchase of a new house, but she had for a math class. For the first time , she knew how students feel when they think something is more than homework.
She found a way out and told the , “I considered my choices: admit to the teacher, copy someone else’s sheet, or make up an excuse .”She chose the one —— the one most widely ——and told the teacher that the needed to complete the homework had been ripped (撕掉) from her book. The teacher accepted the story, never her book. In fact, nobody else did the homework .
“Finally,”Glanz said, “the teacher , thinking that the homework must have been difficult, each question at the blackboard while students copied the at their seats. The teacher had the material and the students had listened to the explanation. But had anything been ? I don’t think so .” Glanz found these things were in many classes . Students simply didn’t do the homework, but copied from someone else or the teacher into doing the work for them.
