Options • Expand “Alumni in Marketing” Network • Build Corporate Professional Development Program (PDP) • Expand Direct Sales Recruitment • Build Telemarketing Capabilities • Increase Prices • Adjust Course Mix Recommendations We believe that building the corporate professional development program (PDP) at Hurricane Island Outward Bound School is the best option. It will increase Outward Bound’s profits in efficiently through increasing their profit with an overhead of 135 dollars per SPD. Chin believes that the school can charge corporate clients more than they charge their public clients. This is 170 dollars more profitable than their public courses. Outward Bound gives scholarships out to the less fortunate public students that are financially unable to afford their adventurous programs.
About half of the undergraduate students in the U.S. are attending a community college. There are many advantage of attending Wayne County Community College District, for students whom returning to school or transferring to 4-year institutions. WCCCD is affordable, it is very convenient and it offers a wide variety of majors. In this economy people are trying to save money every way possible. When it comes to education there is no exception, because education in America is expensive.
Just because you were born in a poor neighborhood, you must now attend a school with inadequate funding. As a great teacher once wrote, “Public schools are there to serve the public, not perpetuate class inequality.” All public schools should receive the same amount of funding per student. It is the only way to make public schools fair for everyone. A key reason for the poor education in these schools is the lack of funding by the state as well.
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.
Intellectual development is one aspect to cultural deprivation. Many theorists argue that many working class children lack equipment at home for example books and toys, so they can’t prepare themselves for school. The reason for the lack of equipment is because their parents get low paid working jobs so they can’t afford the equipment. Even if the parents can afford books J.W.B Douglas (1964) found that the parents wouldn’t help their children with reading or give them enough support for school. Basil Bernstein and Douglas Young (1967) found that middle class mothers would buy books and toys that would encourage their thinking and reasoning skills and prepare children for school.
Evaluate the claim that the main reason why working-class children underachieve in education is their poverty. (20 Marks) It can be strongly argued that the claim for working-class children underachieving is due to their poverty, some reason for and against this are written below. One of the reasons for which enforces the statement above is the internal part, for example an internal factor of working-class (W.C) underachieving in school is the theory of labelling. The labelling theory is a theory that suggests teachers, mostly middle-class, are generally known for labelling their students. If a W.C student is labelled by a middle-class (M.C) teacher the student often believe that the teacher is right therefore they take that label they have been given and they become a self-fulfilling prophecy which means they accept the label they have been given and stay that standard, this is basically saying if a student is labelled negatively they stay negative because they are ‘fulfilling their own prophecy’ so they are now going to underachieve in education.
Waiting for Superman is a documentary that was directed by Davis Guggenheim and was released in the fall of 2010. Guggenheim presents the troubles of the public school system by introducing the viewer to five separate students who attend different public schools. The majority of the students he follows live in a neighborhood that is stricken by poverty, which makes it difficult for students to get the education their parent’s desire and that they will need for their future. The parents oppose of the way their children are being taught, in fact the movie shows the student’s parent’s effort in trying to help their child succeed. Often they try to communicate with the teachers who often could careless if their students pass or fail; they also enter their child in to a charter school lottery which contains a very small chance of their child being enrolled.
Although public schools have been the primary source of education for children for many years, complete privatization of schools should occur because doing so will make education more affordable, quality education will be more easily obtained, and parents will finally have more say in their children’s educational lives. Public schooling seems like the easiest option, but there are far too many places where public schooling falls short. Imagine the horror of your child’s public school teacher having never gone through a thorough background check, and later finding out that they were a sexual offender, or any other kind of criminal? That kind of scenario has been a reality for too many parents whose children attend public school. For decades, most people have been led to believe that public schooling is a good thing, and is in the best interest of children.
Causes of Failing in the educational system It is unfortunate that now in such an advance era, the educational system is not a strong point in society and continues to fail. Education is one of the most important steps in creating a life in this social age. There are several reasons the educational system could be failing in showing importance in a student’s life. Some of the main reasons believed to be for a failing educational system are: funding, accountability, and “one size fits all” curriculum teaching. To begin with, Funding for the educational system is greatly based on the local property taxes in the area of a public school, and is one major cause of failing public schools, due to unequal funding and lack in necessary instructive and learning tools.
If students don't get punished for not coming to school, then schools will lose money and students will be missing lectures causing them to get bad grades. Students aren't graduating because they have too many unexcused absences. Ditching shouldn't be allowed and if one does ditch, then they must be punished. Some people might say Senior year in high school is a waste of time. I agree, my senior year consisted of cutting classes and not as much work.
