After getting paid from superior grades, students are more likely to stay in school. They will also feel more encouraged by getting rewarded. Some people say money doesn’t make a difference, but most people say it does. Money is one of the things that can help kids listen better. Another reason is that it will make students work much harder than before.
Much of this poor advice was put down to high-achieving pupils at schools in areas of disadvantage being viewed as ‘success stories’, who unlike the majority of non-achievers attending their school, did not need help (Furlong 6). Just because they are doing well in school does not mean that they don’t need guidance. The use of socioeconomics in education is
Public school allows more interaction and socializing with other children, while home schooling concentrates on the how child progresses educationally, as the needs of the child are met. It is the goal of the parent home schooling to see their child succeed. Many parents would want to home school the child because of a hundred percent involvement in the child’s education, this is a major decision for any parent, but I know most parents wants to know how much their child is progressing on a daily basis, what are they learning and knowing they are a part of their child’s education. Most parents think it might be expensive to home school but it is not, most learning material can easily be found online for free. There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” As a parent, people around us might view home schooling as better especially those that home schooled as a child growing up.
For instance an example of this idea is that if someone works hard in school during their childhood to achieve strong grades, works hard paying for college and earning a degree, they will land a good paying job with good benefits that will provide for a family. Ernie Frazier who is a real estate investor in Houston quotes, “I think the system is as fair as you can make it. I don’t think life is necessarily fair. But if you persevere, you can overcome adversity. It has to do with a person’s willingness to work hard, and I think it’s always been that way” (Scott and Leonhardt 2005:5).
Serious Challenges Facing Public Education Today Not many would argue about the importance of excellence in education. Problems such as teacher attrition, lack of parent involvement, and teaching high-stakes testing may hinder progress in education. They are only a few of many major issues facing American education, and educators are challenged to do everything in their power to conquer them. An education is a indispensable and essential tool, and it’s important to get our students to value their education. An education can open doors to opportunities that would have never been possible were it not for the education and preparation that one received while in school.
Motivation and dedication is definitely vital with homeschooling to strive to learn as much as possible from the instructor. Personal strive is important also with homeschooling because there is not a whole classroom of students to depend on to get things done, it is definitely more independent. Home schooling can also be very beneficial for those students who tend to be more advanced than the curriculum they are placed in, because this form of education allows them to work at their own pace. In public education, each student has to stay at the pace of the class even if they feel more comfortable with the information before the rest of their classmates. Another good aspect to keep in mind about being home schooled, is the fact that generally the teacher is
Firstly, at private funding schools the size of classes are smaller, by which there comes more individual attention for children. Because of the smaller classes, there is often more one on one assistance and children are getting better accompaniment at private funding school and will be better challenged. Teachers have more time to spend with children and this will improve the performances of children. Therefore American children do better later in life, because those children are at a private funding school with more accompaniment, according to the article ‘We all have a lot to learn’ from Newsweek. From this example we can see that smaller classes are better for the achievements of children.
Teaching for social justice education: the intersection between identity, critical agency, and social justice education ABSTRACT In line with national policy requirements, educators are increasingly addressing forms of social justice education by focusing on classroom pedagogies and educational practices to combat different forms of oppression such as racism and sexism. As all educators have a role to play in dismantling oppression and generating a vision for a more socially just future, teacher education has the responsibility to capacitate pre-service teachers to work in areas of social justice education. It is, however, difficult to conceptualise programmes for social justice education without considering the interconnection between various social identities and how such identities can feed into critical agency and education for social justice. Working with the assumption that white women teachers must be part of the solution to bring about social change in South African education, we used in-depth interviewing to explore pre-service teachers' emerging identities as teachers, and how these identities are connected to notions of critical agency and a stance towards social justice. Keywords: agency; anti-oppressive education; identity; social justice education; teacher education; white women pre-service teachers Introduction In 1995 the White Paper on Education and Training envisaged that "[n]ew education and training policies to address the legacies of under-development and inequitable development and provide learning opportunities for all will be based principally on the constitutional guarantees of equal educational rights for all persons and non-discrimination, and their formulation and implementation must also scrupulously observe all other constitutional guarantees and protections which applyto education" (Department of
Amanda Singh Ms. Dixon-LeDrew HHS4U 13 May 2014 Ethnography Report When parents are involved in their children's education at home, they do better in school. When parents are involved in school, children go farther in school and the schools they go to are better. The positive results of parental involvement in their children's schooling include: improved achievement, reduced absenteeism, improved behavior, and restored parental confidence in their children's schooling. Moreover, the earlier this involvement begins, the more profound the results and the longer lasting the effects. When families are involved in their children's education in positive ways, children achieve higher grades and test scores, complete more homework assignments, demonstrate more positive attitudes and behavior, graduate at higher rates, and have greater enrollment in higher education.
Home-schooled children tend to have much closer family relationships, a better sense of self-esteem, and homeschooling seems to provide a better education than public schools do. Homeschooling seems to provide children with a happier home life and closer relationships with their parents and siblings. “Children that interact more with their family tend to display more self-confidence, self-respect and self-worth.” (Driscoll, 2013) Children do not have to fight for the teacher’s attention, unlike the 20 – 30 children in class at public schools have to. “Teens seem to benefit enormously from this interaction, and rebellious, destructive behavior often begins to diminish soon after homeschooling begins.” (Shaw, 2013) No one from either side of the issue will argue that when parents and children spend more quality time together it is a good thing for everyone. However, the question is not how loved children are, it is how well educated they are.
