Read the excerpt from The Cruisers. When Mr. Culpepper, the assistant principal and chief executioner, came in, he did it with a

flourish, breathing through his nose and looking like a cross between a really mad Santa Claus and a swishy dragon. "Well, what are we to say this morning?” he asked, looking over his rimless glasses. "Or have the grades said enough? Hmmm?” No response. "We have noted two trends among this small group of miscreants,” Mr. Culpepper went on. "The first is that none of you are living up to your potential. And yes, we do know your individual abilities because you have all tested very well on the IQ tests. What I strongly suspect is that you just don’t care enough about education or about Da Vinci Academy for the Gifted and Talented. I’m wondering if you are really Da Vinci material.” What conclusion can be made about Mr. Culpepper based on the character’s dialogue?
A. Mr. Culpepper has disdain for his students and does not respect them.
B. Mr. Culpepper is trying to create a supportive environment for his students.
C. Mr. Culpepper does not know his students and does not try to know them.
D. Mr. Culpepper wants to help his students but does not know how to do it.

I believe its A. Because the definition of "disdain" means not worthy. And he talks about how he is not sure they are da vinci material. He does not know for sure if they are worthy.

What are the weaknesses of Aristotle’s theories of justice?
stepan [7]
He relies on experience and is too focused on senses. Plato says the senses are very unreliable.


Aristotle suggests that the morally weak are usually young persons who lack the habituation to virtue that brings the passions of the soul under the internal control of reason. According to Aristotle, like sleepy, mad or drunken persons who can “repeat geometrical demonstrations and verses of Empedocles,” and like an actor speaking their lines, “beginning students can reel off the words they have heard, but they do not yet know the subject” (NE 1147a19-21). A young person, therefore, can “repeat the formulae (of moral knowledge),” which they don‟t yet feel (NE 1147a23). Rather, in order to retain knowledge when in the grip of strong passions, Aristotle asserts that, “the subject must grow to be part of them, and that takes time” (NE 1147a22). Avoiding moral weakness, therefore, requires that we take moral knowledge into our souls and let it become part of our character. This internalization process the young have not had time to complete.
If moral weakness is characteristic of the young who have not yet taken moral knowledge into their souls, thereby allowing them to temporarily forget or lose their knowledge when overcome by desire in the act of moral weakness, it would seem that Aristotle‟s account of moral weakness does not in fact contradict Socrates‟ teaching that no one voluntarily does what they “know” to be wrong. Virtue does in fact seem to be knowledge, and, as Aristotle asserts, “we seem to be led to the conclusion which Socrates sought to establish. Moral weakness does not occur in the presence of knowledge in the strict sense”
