American teachers don’t earn as much money as business professionals and teachers in other countries such as Japan, Canada, and Germany. If society really cared about education, then teachers would be getting paid as much as lawyers, doctors, and accountants. Society is making it seem that educating young children in school is not that important. In other words, school teachers aren’t important. Barber argues that society is not serious about American education (The McGraw-Hill Reader, 153-162).
Also, they will not ask themselves are they really doing better. It is a fact that most of the charter schools have the same or lower standardized test scores as public schools. Many people do not think independently and look at how the schools are set up differently and if that has an impact on students. The audience’s perspective is not likely to be narrow because education is important to most people whether they have children or not. Many people do not look past the surface of what is going on with things like charging disciplinary fees and whether or not they are necessary.
With so many public schools reporting failing scores each year, it is no wonder why so many parents opt to remove their children from the regular public school system and place them in public schools. However, as appealing as charter schools may seem, they are not always the best solution. Charter school systems have caused harm to public school systems in that they provide some students with an unfair advantage over others, compete with local school districts for federal and state funds, and offer little to no accountability.
Using league tables is a good thing as if you want your child to go to a good school, you can chose the one most suitable with good education and exam results. Schools are paid by how many children they can attract so school results and Ofsted inspection publications is hoped to make schools compete and get good results or they wont attract pupils and the funding. Different types of schools for example faith schools and academy schools are a change that also helped pupils in education. Faith schools were introduced in the 1990s by demands of Muslims who wanted their own faith schools. Different types of schools help as parents have more choice and freedom of where they want their child to go.
Landon Stewart Mrs. Luker Government A4 10/23/12 Cons of School Uniforms There are many schools in the U.S. that require their students to wear uniforms, and there are more that don't. I believe that school uniforms should not be required for a few reasons. Uniforms take away from a person's individual identity and freedom to express himself or herself. They can be costly to people depending on a family’s financial status. School uniforms can also be a very uncomfortable fashion that students would not take a liking to.
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.
<BR>Many parents struggle over the important decision to either send their children to Catholic school or public school. Clearly, they should choose public school over any non-profit educational organization concentrating on post-pubescent years in a childs life, especially Catholic installations. Catholic schools have less to offer children and parents on many levels, whereas public schools offer much more for much less. Furthermore, public schools have a much better reputation then Catholic institutions. <br>According to Jerry Bransby of Syracuse University, New York, Catholic schools cost more and produce less.
Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st. They learned that civil literacy meant that they not only needed to worry about themselves but helping someone else out. I went through this stage as an 8th grader and was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to socialize, have fun, go on field trips and other fun activities with my very own 1st grader. The thing is this doesn’t go on in every other grade school; those other kids that don’t get this option are stuck.
Most complaints to this degree is one of two things: the cost of the child actually going to school and getting the education, or the cost of the programs that have to be put in place to accommodate these children. For the cost of the student, this typically is not very high. Poor Mexican families tend to live in the small, poorer parts of town. This means, in turn, that they are more than likely also attending a school that is lower in quality and price (Martinez 5). While most complain about the bilingual programs being put into school, we have to think about the benefit of this as well.
As of 2011, these standards were becoming quantitatively tested through standardized testing -- the same test is given to every student, and the results are used to judge that school's performance. This means that public schools often "teach to the test," which means they focus on the students getting high scores on the test, even if this is not conducive to their actual learning. Classroom Size Government funding is not always enough for the best learning environment. Class sizes are a concern for many school districts. Large classes are less conducive to learning than small classrooms where the teacher can focus more on each child, but the facilities and staffing necessary for this are not always in the budget of a publicly funded
