What Do 8th Graders Learn in English Class?

Eighth grade is a highly important year for anyone's academic success because the major things learned during this year are used throughout high school, university life and even in professional fields. An eighth-grader should have a strong grip on the English language because of this language's status in the world. Teachers during eighth grade should focus on spoken and written content in the English language. An eighth-grader should have excellent reading and writing skills along with correct pronunciation and accurate punctuation practices.

Given below are some of the things that the eighth-graders learn in their English class:

Writing Skills

During their eighth grade, students learn a lot of new and unique writing skills. With the help of these new skills, students write essays, stories, letters in a way better than ever before. Eighth graders also learn about formal and informal ways of communication that help them in their professional life and research works.

Reading Skills

During eighth grade, students are advised to read as much as they can. Reading is essential for the development of a good vocabulary. Eighth graders are taught how to make inferences, how to grab the main idea, and how to read in between lines.

Punctuation

When it comes to writing, a proper use of punctuation matters a lot. Eighth graders spend a lot of time struggling with the correct use of punctuation marks. It is a must for every eighth-grader to have a strong grip on punctuation and knowledge of all punctuation marks so that they can use the right mark at the right place.

During eighth grade, teachers should focus a lot on students' vocabulary and pronunciation. Teachers should teach new words, their meanings, and correct pronunciation to the students and should emphasize their use in written and oral content. Teachers' should also encourage students to communicate more with their fellows to improve their spoken English.

Employers who repeatedly misgender their employees or deny them access to a bathroom consistent with their gender identity are committing workplace harassment under federal anti-discrimination laws, according to a new guidance released Monday by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The changes released Monday mark the first update to the guidelines in 25 years by the federal agency. They are based on legal standards protecting employees from harassment under a protected characteristic: race, religion, color, national origin, disability, age, genetic information and sex. That last category includes pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity.

The document reflects legal developments in recent years, including the 2020 Supreme Court ruling Bostock v. Clayton County , Ga., which found that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act — which prohibits discrimination “because of sex” — protects gay and transgender workers.

Per the new guidelines, an employer who repeatedly and intentionally misgenders an individual by using the “name or pronoun inconsistent with the individual’s known gender identity” or by denying an employee access “to a bathroom or other sex-segregated facility consistent with the individual’s gender identity” is committing unlawful workplace harassment. This, the guidance states, is considered sex-based discrimination under Title VII, which the EEOC says “includes harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity, including how that identity is expressed.”

The guidance document released Monday consolidates and replaces five of the agency’s previous guidance documents issued between 1987 and 1999, which established guidelines on workplace harassment law. The document is the finalized version of a draft released at the end of last year by the EEOC that received “robust” public input, per the agency.

While the document is not legally binding, it serves as a standard for how the EEOC interprets and enforces anti-bias laws. The federal agency was created under the Civil Rights Act and is tasked with enforcing civil rights laws against workplace discrimination, investigating accusations and filing civil discrimination lawsuits on behalf of employees.

“The guidelines themselves don’t have the force of statute,” said Christopher Ho, the director of the National Origin and Immigrants’ Rights Program at Legal Aid at Work. “Unlike a law that Congress drafts and puts into writing, these don’t have the same effect — they are not legally binding. But that said, numerous courts, including the Supreme Court, have said: Because these guidelines are based on the expertise and careful reasoning of the agency that’s charged with enforcing anti-discrimination laws, they’re to be given deference by the courts.”

The guidelines, Ho noted, are “very carefully considered — they’re not out of thin air.” While the EEOC does not make policy, their guidance reflects “existing authority” applied to “the modern-day situation.”

“I think [an employer] would be very wise, taking the guidelines very seriously,” said Ho, who served on a 2016 EEOC task force on harassment.

The guidance also addresses unlawful harassment in situations involving older workers, immigrants and survivors of gender-based violence, as well as situations of harassment in virtual work environments — a result of the remote work era ushered in by the pandemic.

Charlotte A. Burrows, EEOC chair, said in a statement that the guidance “is a comprehensive resource that brings together best practices for preventing and remedying harassment and clarifies recent developments in the law.”

“As we commemorate this year’s 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the guidance will help raise awareness about the serious problem of harassment in employment and the law’s protections for those who experience it,” Burrows said.

Some Republicans were unhappy with the guidance. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), who chairs the House Education and Workforce Committee, said in a statement that the EEOC “has detached itself from reality.”

“Today’s final guidance is nothing more than a homage to leftist activists who want Americans to conform to their warped political ideology,” Foxx said. “From the mandated use of pronouns to a denial of biological facts, the EEOC seems more interested in appeasing the mob than undertaking commonsense policymaking to protect workers.”

The agency said in a statement that the guidance was approved by a majority vote of the five-member commission and “reflects the EEOC’s commitment to protecting persons who are particularly vulnerable and persons from underserved communities from employment discrimination.”

EEOC Commissioner Andrea Lucas released a statement expressing her disagreement with the new guidance, saying it “effectively eliminates single-sex workplace facilities and impinges on women’s (and indeed, all employees’) rights to freedom of speech and belief.”

Subhashini Bollini, the co-chair of the National Employment Lawyers Association EEOC working group, said the EEOC’s guidance is on par with the precedent set by recent legal cases. Specifically in the case of the guidance including instances of harassment in the form of misgendering or barring a transgender employee from using a bathroom that matches their gender identity, Bollini said the EEOC is applying the precedent set by Bostock.

“What the guidelines provide is, in plain language, really what these categories of harassment mean in real life,” she said.

The guidance document includes several hypothetical scenarios in which an employer’s actions would amount to workplace harassment. In one scenario, a supervisor who mocks her pregnant employee by, among other things, tracking her use of the bathroom, calling her a “heifer” and berating her work as “shoddy” and “slow” is considered to be partaking in workplace harassment. In another scenario, a supervisor who repeatedly questions a transgender employee about her gender identity and expression and also refers to her using “he/him” pronouns is also considered to be harassing their employee.

Bollini said that, while the guidelines that deal with gender identity may draw more scrutiny than others, “transgender people are employees too, they’re in our workplaces and everybody — transgender people, people of different sexual orientations, people of different races and people of different sexes, are all trying to earn a living.”

“These laws enable people to support themselves, support their families and contribute to society,” Bollini added. “So to deny that … is really saying that certain classes of people should not have those fundamental rights.”
