Cause-Effect Paragraphs

Dear Students,

In class, we have been studying a new type of paragraph: Cause-Effects Paragraphs. You did a good job writing your paragraphs and explaining different causes and effects of a problem.

Now, I want you to analyze the possible effects of this situation: Some students are really pressed to do their best at school, mainly to get excellent grades and, if possible, to be the best of their classes.

What do you think an effect of pressures on students to get good grades is? Remember that effects can be negative as well as positive. I look forward to reading your opinion. JMC.

  1. Well, I gotta say that I believe pushing kids to do something will cause an effect on them, but it depends on the way the kid has been raised. In my school, two of the best students are my friends, but they are completely different. The best one, Miguel, is very friendly, sociable and cool. Igual you need help, he will help you as long as he is able to. On the other hand, there is George. He is way to different from Miguel: he isn't sociable, he isn't friendly and he never laughs or talk to other classmates. Both of them have been pushed all their lifes to be the best, but they have received that pushment in different ways. In conclusion, I believe that the way someone has been raised infers on how someone reacts.

  2. I think pushing too much kids/ teenagers to study is a bad idea and it can lead to negative consequences. When someone hears a message repeatedly, they just avoid it. So if parents keep telling kids "You need to have excellent grades"; "Don't you dare get a 0"; etc they just will not do it . Students need to relax, what will help them recharge energy to work in school. When kids are pushed and suffer stress, they also experience anxiety and depression what can make them fail at schools. However, Pushing kids the necessary is important, they will feel support from their parents, what is going to make students work hard and find the way to make their parents proud.------ Romina Bayas

  3. Pushing kids to make their best at school can be good at some point. Kids need to be pushed a little so they won't turn lazy but they will know their responsibilities as students. But if parents start to push more and more, their kids might feel asphyxiated, and as a result, they could stop working at school and nobody wants that. Kids are conscious of what they need to do in school, but as all the humans, they're imperfect, so they need a reminder of their parents or superiors to put them in the right academic way.

    1. I don´t thing so because anybody should be push,for a kid to feel so much preasure that parents give to their child is too much. because parents do not controll all the preasure that they give, in otherwise if you want a kid to be a succesful man/men you should show them how important is to be responsible in everything they do , and what would they earn in the future if they do the best in their studies. kids must be rewarded maybe not in a material way but parents must show some affection to their children not just telling them that they are doing the best they can to put them in a good school,also telling them that they are the best that had happened to their lifes ,parents should show more that they love their kids by talking to them or maybe give them a good explanation why they do not give time for them but they love them no matter what. ------by william aaron romero

  4. I think that parents need to know that pushing their childs can be an stressful way to get good grades because kids are only thinking that if don't get good grades or the highest average maybe at home it can happen a big problem so they forget about chilling out or taking breaks, moreover; if mom or dad continues doing this, their kids will not enjoy a normal childhood because studying is not the only thing you need to do in that part of your life, you need to do other activities such as playing, hang out and so on. Finally kids need to understand that the things which are related to school need to have the important place in your life and don't waste time and the most important thing that is taking advantage of this opportunity. ----Mariuxi Andrade

  5. I believe that some students are pressured by their parents to be the best of the class, have good grades, study hard, etc. This sometimes have bad effects on some children. They grow up believing that they only have to study and have good grades, and it is true, but a child needs to have fun too. I met a girl who is one of the best students but she doesn´t have friends, she isallways alone and she doesn´t talk with someone, this can be a bad effect on children. However, in my school are some boys and girls that are the best students too, but they are funny, they have a lot of friends and they are so happy but they continue focus on their studies. In conclussion, pressured children to be the best have good and bad effects.

  6. in my view, parents who push their children in their studies, is very good. For the following reasons.
    First, parents pushing their children to have good grades, are teaching that with effort they can achieve being the best in all aspects. Finally, in the future, young people will thank their parents guide them in the ways of the effort in order to achieve all their goals. In conclusion, parents who push their children to get good grades, they do it to teach their children that it is all based on effort. - William Escobar

  7. I think the pressure can sometimes be put in by parents and this isn’t good for none of them because this can cause in the worst case a trauma on the student, but also this pressure is put by the student itself because the image of his parents isn’t good enough so he looks for be the best so he doesn’t ends out like his parents who he considers life losers because none or one of them have a decent job or a well pay one but in the end pressure can be good to surpass yourself everytime and never give but to much of this can tired your shoulders.

  8. I think that the chidrens don't have to take that presure becuase they are childs. If they only stydy, their social life could result severely affected. If they only study, they would presented problems in the relationship with other people (including girlfriend). Also, they could get stress and that is a very serious illness. So, the best option that they have is: Studying hard but without the presure of be the best because thats no the point to attend to the high school
