Is It Disrespectful When Students Yawn in Class?
Most parents and teachers think that yawning can be disrespectful. Conventional wisdom makes teachers think that students who yawn are bored or not prepared. In fact, many teachers punish their students for yawning in class because it can really disrupt their class. They may send them out of the room so that they can keep everyone else's attention.

Becoming the Real Me
I was always a child that was put down, told I would be something I didn't want to be. A lawyer, an accountant, whatever other high paying and stable job that a controlling parent/parents can think of. Ambitions were crushed and thrown away in the fear that I would follow the mistakes of others and lead myself down a spiral, paying bill by bill with no hopes of escaping this endless loop. I was traumatized. At the age of twelve, and for most young girls who are reading the newest and upcoming books, such as Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter, etc…, I decided that I would love to become a writer. I had the imagination that would run wild more times than not, but I thought, “Wow! Wouldn’t this be amazing if I could make other people feel how I feel when reading?” Seeing the world form as they read each passing word, closing their eyes and dreaming of a place that I manifested with my own wit and ambition; it was something that I started to yearn for! I spoke with my teacher at the time, and she wholeheartedly loved the idea of helping me with my writings. But then, the worst thing that could have happened, did.

The Standards Movement is Garbage
I’m starting nursing school in the fall of 2022, but in the meantime I’m working on completing a minor in psychology, which has been my favorite subject for as long as I can remember. To me, the way the human mind develops over the course of the lifespan is absolutely fascinating, and, although I don’t yet have my degree, from what I’ve learned so far about human development, I know that kindergartners are simply not developmentally ready for standardized testing. “But, Celia,” you might say, “everyone knows that about kindergartners.” Well, friend, that’s what I thought too, so you can imagine my shock when I learned that, until recently, and maybe even still, kindergarten students were, in fact, being evaluated via standardized testing. Clearly, the people in charge don’t care that “the results of a standardized test at the kindergarten level have only a 50-50 chance of being accurate,” as it seems that they just want to test the kids (Miller & Almon, 2009). However, I do not place the blame on the schools. Every teacher I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is, at best, dissatisfied with the current state of the education system. I believe the party at fault to be none other than the standards movement.
