Timmy Turner

I am going to do a student analysis on Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents.

As many of you may know, Timmy go through some stressors as a student. His teacher picks on him and the other students. The teacher puts a lot of pressure on the students and assumes they will fail. Timmy is under a lot of pressure and does not feel very positive about his achievement in school. Mr. Crocker, the teacher, especially picks on Timmy more than any other student and anticipates he will fail. Timmy is seen as the worst student in the class and receives the most negative attention from the teacher compared to all the other children. It doesn't help that Timmy doesn't study at home and his grades reflect such, he is constantly reminded by one of his best friends that he doesn't get as good of grades.

It seems that Timmy has an attention problem as well, so it would be important in sitting him close to the teacher to ensure that he receives plenty of attention. He tries very hard, just seems to get distracted easily and is often discouraged to do well. It would be important to reward good work ethic and make sure that he stays focused.Timmy needs to be more hands on and needs to move around. Creating an environment that gets up and moves once in awhile would be really vital to his success. Instead of lecturing, learning through different means, such as investigation and exploring might be more useful for Timmy.

Timmy's parents, however, are very supportive.They are both employed yet have plenty of time to spend with Timmy. They encourage Timmy to do well and also are around to give advice They care about his health and are interested in his schooling. Timmy comes from a good area, or at least it seems. His parents seem to make decent money and provide cleanly living. They mean well with all of their intentions.

Outside of school, Timmy has many interests including video games and comics. He also likes to engage in other activities with his friends doing various sorts of things including sports and watching TV. He likes to hang out at the mall and with his fairy god parents. They are mentors for him and provide him with insight and a solid safe zone. He can tell them anything.


This student is not college ready. Although being so young is a large factor, he needs to learn to focus in class and get his priorities straight. He is often distracted by girls, friends, and or TV/Videogames. In order to get him engaged in school, it might be useful to suggest fun learning games for him to play online or on a tablet. Apps that are interactive and attention grabbing would be very useful for this student. I think adding just computer based activities would drastically increase Timmy's engagement in the classroom.
