study of Japanese poetry is apparent in the Human

procrastination. Procrastination has a bad effect
on work, and on you. When you procrastinate you
dont learn how to discipline yourself, the quality
of work suffers, and you get stressed out. The
first reason why procrastination is bad is because
the quality of work suffers. Sometimes an
assignment needs to be proof read first. If you
procrastinate you will be more inclined to skip
this important step. Anot...

Boys And Girls Gender Biases

Are boys and girls treated differently by the

Teachers may unconsciously give more attention to
the boys in a classroom. Peggy Orenstein proved
this in her essay, Learning Silence: Scenes from
the Class Struggle, in which she did field
research in junior high schools interviewing and
