BLACK AND WHITE:-
A long, long time ago, when everything was just starting out, and even the planets and stars were so young that they were still going to school, there was a special class which was everyone's favorite, having by far the most fun filled classmates. The class members were a bunch of rather mischievous colors; from black and white, through to red and blue, yellow, and all the rest. They hoped to grow up to be wonderful colors and this is what they were training for.
In addition to being funny and joyful, the colors were very naughty; particularly the black and white ones, so preoccupied with causing mayhem that they were almost always late for class.
One morning there was a great commotion in the sky. The clouds were up there, practicing raining, but they had been raining for so long that they'd gone and created a storm so terrible that absolutely everyone had become saddened and depressed at having such little light. Even when the sun started shining again, it did not manage to cheer up the world.
The only solution was to appeal, as a last resort, to the naughty, mischievous colors, even though they were still very young and weren't yet trained for anything like this. The authorities went straight to their classroom. It was still early, and, as ever, black and white hadn't yet turned up. However, there was no time to lose; they couldn't wait for black and white. The other colors had to do something fast. They ran down the corridors, out of the door, and flew up into the sky.
On their way up to the clouds each one of the colors left a resplendent trail but the effect on the world was unfortunately either very high and too striking or very low and too dim because of their incomplete education. This situation marked the entry of the colors black and white. They came and settled right under the rainbow, where the colors had left their bright trails and dimmed and brightened the effect accordingly. Surprisingly, they did their job with utter

    The only problem was that Jones already set up a prank before he left period three. When the first kid opened the door there was supposed to be a bucket full of bright blue slime poured onto them and everyone else. When Mason got to the classroom, he walked in there as fast as he was pushed out. He didn’t remember that they had a class picture, they probably took it when he was gone so everyone got slime in their hair. When Jones strolled in, Mrs. Wilson’s face was already so scarlet he thought she was going to pop. That was when Mason Jones was admonished from the…

    The first color that stands out the most is yellow because it refers to the ugliness, lies and fears in Paul’s life. Yellow symbolizes the ugliness, lies, and fears throughout Paul’s lifespan in the story. First of all, yellow makes Paul think of his house and how much he truly does repulse it. He never likes arriving in his room with his “horrible yellow wallpaper” (248). He response as though he is appalled by "the sight of it all; his ugly sleeping chamber; the cold bathroom with the grimy zinc tub, the cracked mirror, the dripping spigots" (249). Another yellow flash in Paul’s list of personality flaws is his lack of integrity, brought on by his chronic lying:…

    According to “Kids’ Room Color Wisdom: How Colors Affect Behavior”, colors have the potential to inspire, excite, soothe, heal, and even agitate human beings. The article breaks down how pink, purple, blue, red, and other colors have the potential to affect behavior. Pink has the possibility to calm down both sexes. However, most boys are not attracted to pink(Hammond 15). Purple symbolizes royalty, but it also symbolizes sensitivity, compassion, and inspiration in children. Blue, the dominant color for boys, decreases feelings of anxiety and aggression and also lowers blood pressure and heart rates(Hammond 3).

    In the video, A Class Divided, a third grade teacher, Jane Elliot, used eye colors to separate her class in an attempt to make them feel the way people of color feel when they are discriminated against. In the exercise all children with blue eyes were considered smarter, more fortunate, and over-all better people than the children with brown eyes. During recess, only the children with blue eyes were allowed to go on the playground equipment, and brown eyed children weren’t allowed to talk to the blue eyed children. At the end of the day the class took a test, and it turned out that the blue eyed children got better test scores.

    I have found there are many different causes of disruptive and inappropriate behavior. These can include factors in and out of a teacher’s control. Factors outside the control of the teacher may include a student’s emotional and psychological factors. A student may have significant distressing issues in their home life such as bereavement or family breakdown for example. Students may also have had negative past experiences at a previous establishment or in the education system in general. Some students may behave inappropriately through boredom or finishing work to quickly, while others misbehave in an attempt to mask undiagnosed learning differences. Conversely, I have experienced students being disruptive in class due to having a special educational need, students with undedicated Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder for example.…
