Someone should blow the whistle at county

Tutoring at phoenix has really opened my eyes as to why students don’t always seem to succeed in school, life or work. At phoenix allot of the students are there because they are told that are the worst kids ever. That they are going to fail because they are in gangs and take drugs. When reading about the narcissism in this book I came across something that made me connect the dots. “The narcissist wants to be whole, good, pure, and perfect. There are two ways to do this. Either one lowers one’s standards of wholeness, goodness, purity, and perfection until they correspond to one’s miserable self” (p. 63). Allot of the students at county and phoenix because they themselves have either lower their standards and they are the reason they can’t succeed. Because they are trying to live up to being one of the cool kids who doesn’t listen to any one or thinks that being bad is cool. Although that most of us in class agreed that if they themselves don’t raise their standards it makes it almost impossible to succeed. However, I have another theory that this kids in county are not completely there because they themselves have put themselves in that position. But the kid’s teachers friends and family members I think they have influenced them to be what they are today. For one example I had a teacher say that her students are one of the worst students ever and that they are not very smart. Or that this student is one of the most dangerous students we have at this school so be careful when tutoring him. In hearing this all I could think is what kind of example are you putting for these children. No wonder these kids are they way they are because their own teachers and family members always put them down especially with the constant reminder of how bad they are. What will keep on happening is not change for the better but for the worse. These students will probably think well then if I am so bad then I should start acting bad. My youth mentor from my church always tells us that if our parents or anyone we know starts saying that we are bad people, troublemakers any negative he says to rebuke those words. Because the word has power and if we take in those negative words it slowly starts to affect us and we begin acting like the words we were called. So it be really interesting to see who blew the whistle at county and stand up against all those teachers who are not there to help out these students and are just there for the money. I think it’s a really sad thing to see how this “true organization” is slowly starting to fall apart for the students because they are not being helped the way they are suppose to
