The government claims that education gives the Native children a better chance of success, while the real purpose of the school was to mould their behavior, believes and lifestyle in a particular way. Ideally, they would pass their adopted lifestyle onto their children and Natives will be assimilated within a few generations. However, the residential school experience was disturbing for many First Nation people. It remains painful and still affects their life. One of the major problems is that aboriginal people attending residential school often have parenting difficulties.
Wente could have explained the new approach being followed in The United States after abandoning the method learning by “discovery”, as well as the results of this step in The United States. Wente has referred to the current policy of social promotion as a reason for decrement in the math scores in Canada. Although there are some weaknesses to it, but there are also strengths which Wente does not consider. According to this policy the students who do not pass the grade academically are allowed to move to the next grade with their peers, which helps in maintaining their confidence level. Wente has suggested using Youtube to the people living outside Manitoba, but Wente forgets the fact that in some areas Internet may not be accessible.
As you can see, the system needs to change because its not helping some women at all, its hurting them. Furthermore, I believe that some children are better off with there fathers. When non-custodial fathers are highly involved with their children’s learning, the children are more likely to get A's at all grade levels (2007 National Center for Education Statistics). Some mothers are to busy doing meaningless things, and are not worried about the well being of there children. Highly involved fathers also contribute to increased mental dexterity in children, increased empathy, less stereotyped sex role beliefs and greater self- control (Abramovitch, H. 1997.
It’s beneficial as there are male and female role models available for the children, and it gives the parents more control of how their children are brought up. Another strength is that there’s less interference from wider family members however this can also be seen as a negative aspect, as other people are unaware of what’s happening and if there was any problems within the family and therefore it’s difficult to identify neglect. This also makes it difficult to seek professional help outside of the family. Another disadvantage of this privatised nuclear family is that children are only exposed to one set of values and so are influenced to become like their parents in the future as they have no exposure to other behaviours of different families. A criticism of this
When Ikram's school social worker told them join an immigrant serving agency, this worked with the family because they would be able to learn new skills which can help them improve their lives in Canada. However the family could not work with the system, because of their work scheduled. Thus, the system were in accuses but not at the right
They gain opinion and personality on what they hear and see. Not knowing any better, a child will naively believe what they are told, certain that it is true because they do not know better; it is part of life to learn that not everything one hears is accurate. Children are freshly exposed to life and must learn the ways of the world through their environment. If a child is told an extraordinary tale that would be seen as absurd in the minds of adults, said child may be willing to believe it despite obvious evidence against it—like Santa Clause. The holly, jolly, red-clad elf is a common story often told to children during the holiday season.
Saskieya Anderson April 16, 2012 Honors English III Period 9 Allowance Should Be Earned There are many books about parenting in the world but there is not a step by step rule book to parenting. Good parents discipline and teach their children to be prepared for the real world by encouraging a positive mentality, physical, spiritual and financial strength to succeed. Some parents feel that rewarding their children by gift giving or financial allowances further encourages them to understand how the real world works with the concept that through doing work or good deeds you earn a reward while others believe that an allowance should be given regardless of a child’s behavior. Despite the fact that giving children
I believe Geddes intended audience is that of young aboriginal kids who like her were poor and not fully educated, but with hard work and determination you can achieve anything in life. She also voices her opinion that aboriginals should get self-government. I would have to disagree with her point because giving power, would most likely alienate aboriginals even more. The government has to work closely with aboriginals to get them out of where they are now. Geddes’ essay was effective overall and managed to get the point across.
The article states that some parents do not support what the Parti Quebecois is doing. These parents even said that they would want their children to focus more on becoming fluent in English to be more adequately prepared for the job market in Canada and abroad. I do not see anything wrong with having mandatory intensive English language classes for elementary school children in Quebec when the opposite is done in my home province of Ontario. In Ontario it is mandatory to take French classes, and I see absolutely no problem with this either. In fact, it is a good thing because it is a solid introduction to the other official language that is used in Canada.
Considered by most to be the backbone of America, it is how we socially and culturally indoctrinate our offspring so they are able to become a functional member of society. A lack of a full family is often cited as the reason that children end up as criminals or delinquents. The notion of family being the birthplace of problems is not even something most people could find feasible, which is what makes Barbara Ehrenreicht's essay "Are Families Dangerous?" seem a bit out in left field to most readers. But upon closer inspection and reflection into ones own family life, and the lives of those around them, Ehrenreicht's essay begins to make a lot more sense.
