Ian Brown Mr. Moran English I - Honors 12 March 2012 Year-Round Schooling Pro Rebuttal The issue of having year-round school in America or not has been going around for decades. This system is practiced throughout the world with the huge exception of many of our schools. Some claim that it doesn’t make a difference to a child’s scores, but spending more time in the classroom, with shorter but often breaks, can keep their mind refreshed. Even U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the hardships and new challenges in this emerging century “demand more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year. In fact, according to a study at the University of Missouri, they found that many students forgot over two and one-half months of whatever their grade-level equivalency is in mathematics.
1. Summarize entitlement and provision for early years education. According to Burnham, Louise and Brenda Baker (2011): ‘’ As part of the Every Child Matters agenda and the Childcare Act 2006, it became an entitlement of all 3-and 4-year-olds in England to receive a free part-tie early years education of up to 12.5 hours per week for 38 weeks of the year. The government funds local authorities to ensure that every child receives up to two years of free education before reaching school age. Parents do not need to contribute to this, but will be charged fees for any additional hours the child receives.’’ So early years in school support very young children, it is a distinction in the UK that children can learn through play rather than more formal education.
Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High. To sum up our survey we asked students to tell us how big of a problem they though cheating was in our school on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the most serious. 41% responded a 3 with the rest of the figure split evenly between 1,2,4, and 5. We concluded from this that students don’t really care about the subject or are indifferent about it.
A student calculated the theoretical yield of barium sulfate in a double replacement reaction experiment to be 1.35 g. When she filtered, dried and weighted her solid (precipitate), however, her yield was only 1.29 g. Calculate the student’s percent yield. 3. Before going to lab, a student reads in his lab manual that the percent yield for a difficult reaction to be studied was likely to be only 40% of the theoretical yield. The student’s pre-lab stoichiometric calculations predict that the theoretical yield should be 12.5 grams. What is the student’s actual yield likely to be?
This article also explores the studies done on dropout rates of high school students due to the exit exam. Holme, J. J., & Heilig, J. V. (2012, November). High-Stakes Decision: The
HHT Task 1 Part A In a classroom where an A is based on having 90% or higher of 334 points, rounding and truncation can be the difference between a whole letter grade. Student 1 has 299 points out 334 point in the class. So to figure out what is percentage is you simply put 334/100= 299/x which breaks down to 334x=29900 so than divide 334 into 29900 and you get 89.52%. Now if we round up the Student 1 grade would be 90% which is an A. This is because the 5 in the .52 digit means we would round the whole number up by one whole digit.
Lane Wood Mrs. Mack English 101 3 December 2013 Student Success Vincent Tinto’s “Taking College Seriously: Rethinking the First Year of College,” is an interesting perspective of how colleges and universities operate and how the majority of them are doing a poor job. According to Tinto, higher level education would be much more effective, especially for first year students, if they were to govern under his theory. In his educated opinion, there are six conditions that are vital for student success: Commitment, expectations, support, feedback, involvement, and learning. As a member of the Tiger Bridge Program, a group of students who commute from our home on Louisiana State University campus to Baton Rouge Community College campus to attend class, I am here to evaluate how the bridge program assists it’s students to succeed. From what I have gathered from the program and Tinto’s article, I have been able to determine that the Tiger Bridge Program approaches student success with moderate seriousness and creates a substandard environment for student learning.
Policy analyst Elena Silva at the Education Sector research backs them up. Many studies showed that there is no relation between the length of the school year and academic achievement for most students. There are pros and cons to year round school so schools should decide if the pros are worth the extra time, effort and money when it doesn’t necessarily improve academic performance. 2. Year-Round Schools don’t Boost Learning, Study Finds ~ It was found
Some students are able to accumulate enough dual credit hours to eliminate an entire year of college studies. Lydic goes on to describe that “ the Texas legislature even passed a law that every school district must “implement a program under which students may earn the equivalent of at least 12 semester [college] credit hours in high school.”” (HB 1, 2006-07 paragraph 5) Starting college is hard enough, but being able to be given the opportunity to start college and be ahead in classes seems like an easier way to go. Depending on the school, it is possible to start college with 12 hours, that way you are lessening your college years by just taking dual credit classes in high
