Critical Analysis In “The War Against Boys” the author, Christina Hoff Sommers, stated that times are changing and boys should “watch out” in school. She states that girls are starting to be more benefited in school then boys in the educational system, that girl aren’t considered the “second” sex anymore, and that girls are statistically better than boys in academics. I personally agree that times are changing and that boys aren’t getting any special treatment and girls are on the same level as boys, and that they also are better in school then most boys. This to me has a lot to do with that growth gap that there is between both genders, girls start developing at a much earlier age then us, thus letting them learn things at a much faster rate
Exploratory Paper: Creativity in the form of Music and Art and the relevance of its Uses in Educational fields such as Science and Mathematics Introduction. "Art does not solve problems, but makes us aware of their existence," sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz has said. The creative arts such as Art and Music are of more importance as compared to Mathematics and Science because Art and Music are just those classes that everyone takes and passes easily. Without the creative arts, advancement in more complicated areas of the curriculum may not be possible. Mathematics and Science are subjects that students need to take and have difficulty struggling to pass.
short term review is not likely to be of much benefit.” Short term review and trying to each students content are, in essence, what coaching programs are doing. Again, students should prepare in the long run for entrance exams by taking harder classes in high school. Unfortunately, in the United States many students from low-income families are in schools where they are not encouraged to take rigorous academic courses or the courses are just not offered to the students. There is also a positive correlation between family income and test performance. (Depalma).
Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences. Secondly, the way in which teachers interact with pupils differs. Sociologist Jane and Peter French argue that classroom interaction between teachers and boys was not that different to that of girls in terms of academic reasons. However, boys tended to get more attention from teachers in terms of reprimands. Francis argues that while boys get more attention they are also disciplined more harshly by teachers.
This bought on Marketisation where schools try to attract other students by raising standards to show they are most successful. On the other hand, sociologists disagree as most educational reforms have not helped all students, only some or wasn’t very effective enough to help improve educational experiences. For example, the Foster Act wasn’t very helpful as the teaching was dire and students were less successful therefore resulted them in having weak qualifications and bad experiences. The Butler Act system with the 11+ exam was mostly based on middle class children therefore they had a better chance than working class. This was unequal as they had an advantage even though the test was the same.
In schools that require uniforms the student body all look like the same person, very bland and boring people. This is not what American society is; we are casual dressing, diverse people. Dressing casually and showing diversity in our fashion is the best way to recognize students as individual people, showing our American culture – not as part of "those people." Though some may argue that some students dress sloppily or immodestly, most districts have dress codes that students do have to follow, which helps this. Although, most students do take pride in themselves and strive to look nice in a variety of clothing, dressing even quite formally sometimes, because they want to look good, and it makes them feel good about themselves.
Academically the Saints was expected to do well in school because of who their parents were and family social status. The Roughnecks wasn’t at all concerned about how they performed in school. In the end both groups had the ability to do well but made different choices due to different backgrounds. 4. Compare and contrast the treatment of the saints and the roughnecks by the police.
Although God created us all equal that is far from how your peer groups accept one another. There would be less teen suicides if each group simply accepted each other and their differences, not alienated each other. Some believe high school cliques can be demeaning and cause lifelong trauma to one’s self esteem. The popular group of kids is made up of the jocks, cheerleaders, and designer dressing young people who normally walk around thinking that grade’s and other people’s feelings does not matter. This group is usually your more attractive, stylish, snobbish group.
Orwell claims that the only reason he was allowed at his school as a poor, lower class child was so that he could win a scholarship to an even better school. While this would make his school look good, it would also help him be successful in life even more. A child would not look at the long term consequences of this and could very easily see it as they were just trying to use him to make the school look better. Every school has social classes; it is not unique to just Orwell’s school. Snobbery is a part of everyday life and every adult knows this and has dealt with it.
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.
