When students return to school after a summer break, there is often a long time period of adjustment. Opponents may also say that the use of multi-tracking doesn’t work and that it wouldn’t bring any funds when the schools accommodate more students than regular schools. Well this general idea is considered false in many ways. One way is that multi-tracking does save money for the schools when it allows schools to enroll more students than what their
Policy analyst Elena Silva at the Education Sector research backs them up. Many studies showed that there is no relation between the length of the school year and academic achievement for most students. There are pros and cons to year round school so schools should decide if the pros are worth the extra time, effort and money when it doesn’t necessarily improve academic performance. 2. Year-Round Schools don’t Boost Learning, Study Finds ~ It was found
As I stated earlier, Illinois spends $2,200 a year to educate a student, but that is way below what it should be so let’s use the recommended value $6,416. The average cost to house a juvenile for one year in Illinois is from $52,540 to $96,087 per person. That money could be used to properly fund 15 students or inadequately fund nearly 44 children. Although the juvenile detention centers provide the inmates with food, shelter, and limited clothing the cost to house a juvenile is extremely high, even compared to an Illinois University. The disgraceful thing about this situation is that coordinators of these institutions aren’t even educating these children, so that when they are done serving their time they can do something productive.
He insists that he is owed overtime pay for the remaining 450 hours. During school holiday periods, EDS also hires high school students (aged 14 and older) to assist in processing orders at its two national distribution centers. EDS does not allow the students to work more than 6 hours per day or more than 36 hours per week, and they may not work with the mechanical sorting equipment. The students are paid minimum wage, and the job is advertised as a “paid internship.” The local high school complains that students who work at EDS over school holidays are returning exhausted, and that no one under age 16 should be permitted to work there. Renee, a scheduling manager for EDS, worked an average of 50 hours per week last year.
Should Students Be Paid to Gain an Education? Kids should not expect to earn money to receive an education they are fortunate to have. In the New York Times article “Rewards for Students Under a Microscope” Lisa Guernsey explains that “Research suggests that rewards may work in the short term, but have damaging effects in the long term.” Children are clearly motivated for short periods of time which does not address long term educational needs and goals. In my opinion as a student I do not think we should be paid to go to school, because for hundreds of years kids have had the honor and expectation to learn. As technology advances, it seems students are becoming lazy, and losing interest in the opportunity for an education.
A graduating high school senior, one generation ago, would earn approximately 36% less than a college graduate; today the study has shown that the difference is now 76%. The National Science Teachers Association has also prepared a study that has pinpointed what is actually lacking. The N.S.T.A. has determined that the focus on core curriculum at the high school level seems to be what has gone awry (Association), unprepared students, either directly entering the workforce or seeking tertiary education, are so deficient in basic skills that it is hindering advancement in the workforce or college. The unprepared student yields workers which may not be able to handle the changing technologies, or lack of qualifications to handle basic tasks, and mediocre college student, making it difficult, the goals for which the student had hoped to realize.
[1] Different people from different countries look up to America not just the country of freedom but also the “land of oppurtunity”. Compared to other countries Americans work more hours per week; however, I wish we can also the say the same when it comes to our children's education. How can we still say that our children is our future when they are not even being motivated the right way when it comes to their education? To begin with, library loss has had a big effect on our children's education. Shutting down libraries may help bring some funds back to our countries but in return children are losing their freedom of reading.
Schools have put together financial classes in hopes the students would have a basic understanding of how to live within their means. Research has shown, though, these classes are less successful than expected (Norvilitis 3). Parents play an important role in a student’s financial education. According to a survey done by Sallie Mae in 2008, about a quarter of the students have had their parents discuss the importance of using the credit card wisely (Mae 17). Also, the Congress has a sight on credit card mishandling and a bill was proposed in August of 2001 by Representative Louise Slaughter that “limited the amount of credit that could extended to students to twenty percent of their income or five hundred dollars if their parents co-sign for the card” (Silver-Greenberg
Although many people qualified for grants to pay for school, books & supplies without having to take out student loans. “Beginning with the president's first full month in office, February of 2009, the economy lost 4.3 million jobs in the first 13 months of his presidency. Employment spurted for much of 2010, but beginning in October of that year, America began to gain jobs” (Velshi, 2012). But for many with a working spouse or parents that are middle class income but cannot afford school are forced to use student loans to cover tuition, books and supplies and sometimes what’s left is used to help cover their bills while they are attending school. This is a growing concern because so many cannot pay the loans on top of their mortgage, food and other
Abstract: “Employment promotion has dominated antipoverty policies in the United States over the last several decades. Increased employment, especially in low-wage jobs, has not generated economic stability for many parents and has brought to light uneasy tensions between increased earnings, less time with children, and reduced public supports that families face in moving up the economic ladder. We use data collected from 22 focus groups conducted with low- and moderate-income parents from four states and the District of Columbia to explore the ways in which parents make decisions about increasing hours of employment “ Body After all these years of having spent time with my children in their education, their growing covering all
