Having a mandatory uniform limits teenager’s creativity and their expressive side. Lastly, the uniform can be harmful to schools image because some schools may have nicer uniforms than others causing other schools to envy them and not feel equal and uniforms are all about making everyone equal. Students will most likely be in their uniforms after school hours. If some students are caught up in bad behavior it can make the school look bad and gain a reputation. Also, when students don't agree with the uniform they wear many of them alter
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.
Generally schools require students to wear uniforms for the desire to increase the students’ academic levels. Many critics rebuttal that uniforms “infringe on student’s First Amendment right of free expression” (Kelly). Although the use of uniforms might take away some of a student’s freedom of picking what new outfit to wear every morning, to exercise the use of uniforms in a school environment gives the students more time to focus on their homework after school rather than
In society many would think that teaching financial literacy in high school is not a good idea because the students already have many things to worry about. They think that teaching financial literacy would just add on to the load. They also assume that financial literacy skills are just common sense. Whereas some people also believe that teaching financial literacy is an excellent idea because it will help the students manage their future finances well. It will help them understand the basics of financial planning as it is not common sense.
The schools are generally over crowded with few good teachers. When there's a great public school there is not enough space for every child in the neighborhood. Children are stuck in low achieving schools because of how the school districts are divided. A lot of children end up in poor public schools because their parents do not possess the income that it takes to send them to a private school. Since 1971 education cost has increased from $4,300 to more than $9,000 per student.
Assess the extent to which material deprivation is the most important factor in affecting social class difference in educational achievement? Firstly I feel that material deprivation is the most important factor in terms of creating social class differences in educational achievement although there are other factors such as culture and school which also have an effect on this matter. Material deprivation is not having the ability to afford consumption goods and to participate in activities that are common in society at that given point in time. Evan though education and further education is free to the age of 19, material factors such as diet, health and housing all have direct effects on achievement in education, as for example if student is worrying about whether they are going to have a clean place to sleep, they are not going to be as concerned by whether they pass their science test the next day. Therefore Marxists will argue that the working classes are suppressed as they cannot afford such essentials that come so easily to the upper classes.
One reason a student should receive extra credit to pass, is that they have trouble with that one specific subject. If you don’t understand something it’s hard to get it right on a test. Many tutoring services arn’t free, and some families don’t have the extra cash laying around. Some students after seeing there failing grade just completely give up. Teachers should give them extra credit they can still have a chance at passing the class.
But when a school system puts uniforms into place, and then makes you wear a certain color shirt because of you grades, that's just asking for more bullying and fights. I'm really trying to understand their thinking process on this issue. Maybe they figured, if you're in the lower grade color, you will start trying harder. It's a concept that I believe is completely wrong, but it's the only reason I could think of on why they would do this. I really don't believe that I could ever grow to like this concept at all.
NCLB was established so that students were not held back in a grade and were promoted to the next grade. I think this is a political aspect that is failing our students. If a student is not understanding the material or doesn’t pass the tests showing that they understand and can retain the information, I don’t believe that they should be promoted. I believe that it only hurts the students because they get more behind as they advance through the levels. The ethical issues that regard the high stakes testing is that it could be unfair to some students.
Many argue that the funding of sports teams in educational institutions should be cut. Some parents, educators and students believe that these expenses are too costly and distracting from the fundamental core subjects, such as English, math, history and science. This one-sided perspective actually sidetracks these advocates from the fact that school sports teams benefit students in numerous aspects. The funding placed into sports teams in educational institutions influence students by teaching teamwork, reducing the chances of obesity, and enhancing academic behavior. Being on a sports team teaches teamwork.
