An extended school day gives administrators the ability to ensure children get a well-rounded education. Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education so children can cover basic subjects like math, English and science. This is hurting children across America, depriving them of the chance to find discipline and self-expression through the arts; and we should be ashamed to cut physical education while our children face an obesity epidemic. Extending the school day would also help families. In two-parent households, women have increasingly entered the workplace, and in single-parent households, there is even more of a need for the adults to work.
Instructor: Subject: - English 91 Due date: - 05/14/2012 Rewards Program in School In the United State most of school districts face educational problem that makes students fail to pass their levels. To find a solution most of school districts are trying out different kinds of methods that can change student’s attitude towards education. One of the methods that are being tried is PASS (promoting Achievement and Student Success). Fog City School district is planning to try PASS in its under-performing high schools because many of the high schools in Fog City School district have low performance of students in test scores, achievement gap and truancy. PASS provides different type of positive solutions that can help change students performance
Parents could also help the authorities by letting school teachers and counselors know if they are aware of any misbehavior at home. Many of these children could be living with a lot of trauma and violence at home. Furthermore parents need to have more control over their children and help the authorities by checking backpacks before children leave for school. But this is not always possible for all parents to do because many of them have to go to work early or cannot spend as much time with their children. Even if this is not possible, parents who keep weapons at home should keep them away from the reach of their children.
Also there was countless number of bullying reports because of clothing. The students who could not afford nice clothes were usually picked on and taunted. It started to get so out of hand that parents started pulling their kids out of Augusta and transferring them to another school. So to prevent bullying problems and students from wearing irrelevant clothing the school established a new dress code policy where students were required to wear uniforms. This new policy helped reduce the amount of bullying throughout the school and also made the school look more professional.
Specific data can how determine how well the child will do in a given time or the success of communication between parents and the school. The members of staff at Blakesley Hall Primary School is expected to act professionally in their job profession if a parent confides in them about an arising issue with their child if they have problems or something the school should know about. The reason for a confidentiality policy in school is all the students at the school have the right to confidentiality because of the Data Protection Act. The Data Protection Act is a law designed to protect personal data stored on computers or in an organized paper filing system. The Data Protection Act was passed by parliament to control the way information is handled and to give legal rights to people who have information stored about them.
This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline. This idea is called in loco parentis (pg. 378). This concept was once more important in schools than it is now but it has brought forth it idea that no matter the student, disabled or not, there needs to be a certain level of responsibility put on all students for their behaviors when they are at school. This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing.
Implementing information in relevance to how kids behave at home. Having a go to person in school is a good alternative as a resource that can be available at school but most suicides are done at home or away from school. In these seminars the parents will learn the red flags to pick up on such as a sudden loss of interest in things they used to enjoy, a change in sleep patterns and how they are doing in school. All these are good indicators to how a child may be battling the struggles of depression and the consideration of suicide begins to hinder. Parents will also be aware of how to keep the home area safe from any easy access to things such as guns as states before.
Again that is how my parents worked with me when I was in Elementary School. Though kids may feel afraid, parents in this manner will teach them to be good when they grow up. Bruce again replies that whatever she mentioned is mostly true. He mentions that our families have mostly parental authority and that parents should fix strict borders and grant limited freedom within. He believes this is where kids will learn self independence and motivation.
Solutions for problems like these are hard to come across, but if people took it upon themselves to try to educate them self by reading and writing more than they do it would help them in the long run. There was a table “From Reading at Risk” by Shea, Scanlon L., and Aufses presented that showed how many people actually take the intuitive to read for the purpose of educating their self. The people within the school systems should take a look at all of the problems with the Education system. It all starts with the adults in charge. Not every parent has the financial Stability to send their kids to schools with great education programs, as shown in waiting for Superman.
What types of checks and balances are in place that can detect such problems? The Institute for Educational Sciences states that 13% of youth between the ages of 3 – 21 have learning disabilities. Anthea Lipsett of The Guardian writes, “Teacher training providers rely too heavily on schools to train teachers, Ofsted found. But less than half of the schools the inspectorate surveyed provide new trainees with a good induction into teaching pupils with learning difficulties and disabilities (LDD). Instead, inductions often focus on the priorities of an individual school so that teachers gain experience in the areas of specific concern to their workplace, but not wide enough coverage of learning difficulties to win qualified teacher status, the report warned.
