“If you have money, you can like do practically anything… You can hire a tutor to go to your house, you can hire somebody-shit! You can even pay somebody to do your testes for you! So nobody really knows if you have a learning disability or not because…
you are always hiring somebody to do things for you. I ‘d love to have a lot of money, somebody to do some things for me. I’d be lazy, f’real.
Chanell notes that disability is not a singular or universal experience because social class, for example, determines how disability is ultimately experienced. Because social class determines access to services, Chanell suggests that disability is in part a function of social class. (Gender and Education P115).While reading this passage, I found myself wondering about the exam effects in mastering knowledge. According to “If you have money, you can hire somebody to do your tests for you”, this ‘ridiculous statement’ is harmful but true. When students have tests, they are tested because teachers want to know whether they have mastered the knowledge, whether students are able to use the knowledge to solve problems they will meet in the future. hiring somebody to do exams functions as same as plagiarism and cheating, I think. It makes students dwindle ability to learn knowledge and contents. Learning is a process of literacy, communication and comprehending, this process can help people to communicate with people and knowledge, to increase abilities in many areas, instead of just gaining high enough scores to pass exams. The goal of the exam is to see how students gained knowledge and present the levels students are stepping in. The exam is a direct approaching to present students’ learning abilities to teachers and parents. Teachers cannot know if you have mastered the knowledge or not because you hire somebody to do tests or cheating. Your “cheating” scores cannot really reflect your real ability. That is why the plagiarism and cheating are the top 2 important things in education.
