    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 414 687 EC 306 032 AUTHOR Reis, Sally M.; Hebert, Thomas P.; Diaz, Eva I.; Maxfield, Lori R.; Ratley, Michael E. TITLE Case Studies of Talented Students Who Achieve and Underachieve in an Urban High School. Research Monograph 95120. INSTITUTION National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, Storrs, CT. SPONS AGENCY Office of Educational Research and Improvement (ED), Washington, DC. PUB DATE 1995-09-00 NOTE 284p. CONTRACT R206R00001 PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC12 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Asian Americans; Black Students; Case Studies; Cultural Differences; Disadvantaged Youth; Family Environment; *Gifted; *High Achievement; High School Students; High Schools; Hispanic Americans; Homogeneous Grouping; Parent Participation; Poverty; Puerto Ricans; *Resilience (Personality); Self Esteem; Sex Differences; Social Support Groups; Student Characteristics; *Underachievement; *Urban Education; White Students ABSTRACT This 3-year study compared characteristics of high ability students who were identified as high achievers with students of similar ability who underachieved in school. The 35 students attended a large urban high school comprised of 60 percent Puerto Rican students, 20 percent African American, and the remainder White, Asian, and other. Qualitative methods were used to examine the perceptions of students, teachers, staff, and administrators concerning academic achievement. The study found that achievement and underachievement are not disparate concepts, since many students who underachieved had previously achieved at high levels and some generally high achieving students experienced periods of underachievement. A network of high achieving friends was characteristic of achieving students. No relationships were found between poverty and underachievement, between parental divorce and underachievement, or between family size and underachievement.

    volume 12 - issue 1 - tuesday, september 4, 2012 - uvm, burlington, vt uvm.edu/~watertwr - thewatertower.tumblr.com by laurafrangipane I am 22 years old, queer, and you know what? I didn’t come out in the “official” hey Dad I’m pretty homo sense until this sum- mer. I like people, as people, regardless of gender or degree of gender fluidity. It took me a while to figure this out in the first place and also what the hell I was going to label myself on the spectrum. I felt bisexual was too limiting, because I don’t believe the people I fall in love with are truly male or female 100% of the time or that really, gen- der has to fall in a binary. Hell, I didn’t feel that I acted 100% male or female most of the time. “Queer” felt right, both because of its roots as a slur against my community to be reclaimed (I like saying it with a bit of bitterness), and for its openness. That’s my story. And you know what? However my sexuality would have happened, it’s totally valid. The same is true for how you have come to your own. I think there is just as much timing and thought that goes into coming out as asking someone to marry you or as tak- katharine longfellow ing a job across the country. This can only by lauragreenwood happen once. We are all scared shitless, but there is a way to do it “smarter.” If there’s anything I can be sure to gain to look at and such… you know.” College was college.

  • The Lion in Winter
    The Lion In Winter By James Goldman (1968) Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn EXT. ON A HILL. DAY. Henry II and his youngest son John are practicing swordfight. Henry II: Come for me! You're gaining on it, Johnny. John: Am I, father? Am I really? Henry II: Off you go now. Run along and practice. Henry Plantagenet goes to his love Alais Capet. file:///C¦/TEXTS/Scenario/Lion.txt[2013/05/12 17:14:26] Henry II: He'll make a good king. He'll be ready. That's the way. (seeing John practicing) Come on, my son! Alais: Have you found religion, Henry? Will you look down from heaven and see who's sitting on your throne? Henry II: I must know before I die. There's a legend of a king called Lear, with whom I have a lot in common. Both of us have kingdoms and three children we adore, and both of us are old, but there it ends. He cuts his kingdom into bits. I can't do that. I've built an empire, and I must know it's going to last. All of Britain, half of France... I'm the greatest power in a thousand years, and after me comes John. Alais: I'm going to lose you, Henry, aren't I? Henry II: Alais, in my time I've known... contessas, milkmaids, courtesans... and novices, whores, gypsies, jades... and little boys, but nowhere in God's Western world have I found anyone to love but you. Alais: And Rosamund? Henry II: She's dead.
