Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
Separate but Equal? A commonly held belief in the 21st century is that all people should be treated equally, since treating one group of people differently from another would be prejudiced and give certain groups a difficult time in the “pursuit for happiness.” I think we can all agree Jim Crow laws were harmful to our society and a bad form of separation, but what about separate treatment for girls and boys? I believe that treating boys and girls the same way in schools and homes is unfair and can have an adverse effect on each group’s ability to learn new information and develop mentally. Simply put, since girls and boys learn differently, they should be taught differently. However, this fact seems to be losing its merit more and more in society because of a push towards equality and fairness.
To then come back and remove the children would be such as another charges to the criminal, and seems unconstitutional, unlawful, and wrong. One could declare that placing these children in crowded circumstances that would happen from the performance of this strategy would do more damage than excellent. Not all juveniles placed in enhance excellent proper care are there due to bad parenting. Some of these children end up there because the mother and father can no longer control their activities, or in between doing stints in teenager area. All mother and father or parents who lose their children would not have the same degree of violation, which runs the risk of children from better surroundings being taught through the same Public Concept adverse activities and assault from other children.
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.
We have age limits and restriction on many things, but why does are education system expect these young kids to make the right choices, ask for help and develop good study habits on their own. Our education system needs a new approach to resolve these issues. Teachers and parents need to be held responsible, for how well these kids do in school. We need come up with a new plan so these students aren’t left lost and helpless. Flunking students can be used as a positive tool by our education system.
Kids are no longer pushed to excel in schools. The school system tries to convince children that they are all doing well when it is not true. When schools allow students to retake all their tests for better grades, students will not strive for perfection on their first attempt. If they do not have letter grades or finals, it is difficult to evaluate student success. These policies will keep children’s feelings from being hurt, but if Eunice cannot do poorly, she has no motivation to do better.
Some people were against the idea of abstinence because they said this would put their kids at risk by “providing a fear-based program that gave children incomplete, inaccurate, biased an sectarian information”. A women from Planned Parenthood referred to it as a “trick” to the students (517). Limbaugh disapproves of this opinion, and says it is “absurd” since he believes that this approach is honest and provides student with information about health endangerment. Students will learn about the truth of a sexually active
People against the use of Huckleberry Finn in the schools believe black children are offended by the use of the word “nigger’ anywhere, no matter what the teacher uses to justify it. Equal Protection and opportunity have also been a popular topic in the Huckleberry Finn controversy. Author, Dorothy Gillmam once said, “1st Amendment rights are crucial to a healthy society. No less crucial is the 14th Amendment and its guarantee of equal protection under the law” (Leonard 19). The use of the word “nigger” in Huckleberry Finn does not provide black students with equal protection and is in violation of their constitutional rights.
A new study has found that girls at same-sex schools feel greater pressure to adhere to gender norms — and were bullied if they didn’t — than those at mixed-gender schools. Perhaps even more surprising, the same researchers say that girls at same-sex schools evaluated their self-worth based more on social confidence than cognitive confidence — while girls at mixed-gender schools weighed academics more heavily than social prowess. These results contradict a lot of the conventional wisdom that compels some parents to seek out an environment without boys — namely, less romantic drama, greater social acceptance and increased academic confidence. So which one is it? : Are girls more likely to empower one another or to make Burn Book–worthy comments about those who don’t fit in like in Mean Girls?
The top three reasons seem to be that the book is either sexually explicit, had offensive language, or unsuited to any age group. Others are deemed oppressive, racially insensitive, violent, or just plain obscene and controversial. Despite the good parents and school officials believe they are doing for their children, they are essentially keeping them from the knowledge they need and deserve to become an intelligent part of society. Let the
