Though they may be focused on the incentives, the knowledge they are taught is still being exposed to them. However, some programs do not even allow students to spend their money until they have graduated from that school. Yet, there are still those who think our society is expecting too much out of students. From Time Magazine “Is Cash The Answer?” Amanda Ripley says, “we seem to be holding kids to a
Seems like the GOP does not understand that even though the average family can’t afford to send their kids to a top tier university does not mean they do not want to take advantage of early learning. Romney, the GOP nominee, was talking to students in Ohio and told them if you want to go to college to just borrow money from their parents. That statement along with the GOP opposing the Presidents student loan reform shows that the party is not connected with average American. Also part of the education cuts was to limit funding for public schoolteachers. Finding and keeping good teachers cost money.
Eg: If there is a school trip that cost certain amount of money a young person from a more wealthy back ground will be able to go and enjoy the visit learning new things, sharing experiences with their peers. A y.p who is not in a financial position to go will not get to enjoy and learn the benefits and is excluded from the group. A young person who is financially stable has the choice to from a variety of hobbies and interests which they may want to explore and possibly achieve in. This gives them the opportunity to feel good about themselves and the chance to develop new skills and to develop themselves. As well as the chance to meet new people.
Herbert supports this thought stating “I don’t think Mr. Vander Ark was engaging in hyperbole. The public needs to understand the extent of the high school dropout crisis, and its implications for the long-term future of the U.S”. (Herbert 1) All in all, I believe what Tom Vander Ark describes about the scary level of income stratification on educational stratification relates to Herbert’s essay because they both stress that there is no balance. Also the low income class must pursue education and stop dropping out to obtain a position of leadership in the country. Leadership in the country will support the importance to fix problems like education, employment, economical structure and much
That student may suffer for that day in school, but the money he/she donated will feed a hungry person that may not have eaten in days. That student probably would feel great about himself, and other students would see that. Other students may also do the same thing as the first student to get the same feeling of doing the right thing. That one student now influenced many others to follow in his/her steps to promote a good cause. When people do things for the right reason, others may think less of the people working toward good causes.
Kayla Webley from Educational Financing shares her thoughts on the higher education policy, Low-income below poverty students ranging from 18 to 26 are who advertisers search for to bring into their school because of the student loans they will be piled on with. The students who apply to for-profit colleges aren’t aware of why schools are in need to get them to
Cheat to Success In the article, “Can Students be Paid to Excel?” Jennifer Medina reports that paying students for their performance at school can actually help them become better students. Then again, in the introduction of “Drive”, Daniel Pink gives proof to show that “extrinsic motivators”, like money, are not always the best way to inspire learning and growth in a person. This is why Los Angeles middle schools should not offer students cash rewards to improve the student’s academic performance because as time goes by, student’s academic work will go down the drain. Most students get the job done as long as they are being paid to do so. I know from reality and from the introduction of “Drive” by Daniel Pink, that states, “Rewards can deliver a short-term boost---just as a jolt of caffeine can keep you cranking for a few more.
He named himself a “scholarship boy”; a student with poor resource coming from an uneducated family who live in a foreign country but who has an enormous desire to improve himself. Unfortunately, to achieve his goal he forces himself to get apart from his own culture and his family. The miss of education of his parents was not helpful for him until the point that he felt dissatisfied and embarrassed of them. Even thought, they were always behind him; to make his success possible, “they evened the path” he said (627). His parents’ goals were really admirable.
In all actuality, I believe that some teachers just teach for the money. They don’t really care what happens to these kids after they are out of the class. They don’t put effort into providing sufficient knowledge to everyone. Then again, the severity of the matter differs
Not only does media impact the bias but so does public education, growing p in public schools you hear how the government is not funding enough money to education, teachers aren't getting enough money , yet we still stand for the pledge. This is an influential part of political socialization because it molded me going onto the future, having a state of mind where government is not perfecta and it should not stay this
