The goal in the working class school is to get the work finished in a mechanical way that requires the children to do very little decision making and thinking (such as there parents.) While doing division problems in math class, the teachers went over examples, told the students the correct procedure, and rarely require them to really think about the problem. The teacher merely says, "Three into twenty seven is seven: do your
11). For some students, learning and understanding are not their goal of education. They come to class just to get a certificate. This thinking affects students’ behaviour because they only need to finish the assignment or to get the grade. Crawford Kilian writes in her article “Plagiarism for beginners” about this attitude of students: You are in school only to get a non academic job.
In college as well as in kindergarten you find students that put forth no effort, when this happens you have students who are going to have to work harder to pick up the slack. When a student doesn’t want to do the assigned work when given the time, and then they realize they cannot go outside and play with their friends until its complete they will just scribble down something. If the grade is group based then that student is relying on the rest of the group to get positive credit for something he or she has not done, this only teaches students to be
Thesis Statement and Outline Week Three Susan Harmon GEN 300 Skills for Professional Development Mike Osby Building a Dynamic Learning Team Different individuals have different Learning Styles, different Personality Types and different Temperaments. These three components combined create a Learning Profile and can be very different from individual to individual. Ones Learning Profile affects the way one is able to not only learn in college-level studies but how this affects ones daily working relationships. There are several tests available to determine what ones Learning Profile is and how one can find strategies to work with this new information. Dynamic Teams are composed of individuals that may have very different Learning Profiles and each team must determine how best to work with each individuals strengths and weaknesses.
Single Sex Schools Compared to Coeducational Schools While parents are sending their children off to school, no matter what grade they are in wither it be elementary, junior high, or high school, they expect that their children will receive the best education they can get. They should be acted imposing questions, encouraged to participate in class, and should also be given as much help as needed to succeed by the teacher. However, this is most commonly not the case. Gender bias is not a noisy problem so parents and the children themselves are unaware of what is really going on in the classroom. Although boys and girls are taught together, should classrooms be separate due to the lack of female education compared to males?

Students are no longer looking to a teacher for all of the information. Most of what I hear about education in my community is negative. We start children in school at a very young age due to fears that they may “fall behind” or “not be on target” in relation to their peers. We require them to site in a classroom that follows the same format as a classroom from the 1800’s. This includes, 4 walls, desks, a teacher facilitating the lesson, and little ears and eyes tuning in and out.
Studies have shown that homework for elementary – high school should not have homework but work on some special project or reading at home after school for only a satin amount of time depending on what grade the student is in like forty minutes to two hours a day after school. Studies also show that homework can be more harmful then help full to students as they grow up. Studies show that students going to school all morning and afternoon doing work then coming home to do even more work will make them very over worked and make them lazy and they would not wont
Schools had only one room, and all ages were taught together. Going to school was considered a privilege, and children were only taught in winter and summer because they were busy helping their families during the harvest season (ThinkQuest.). Kids went to school purely for the desire to learn. As time elapsed, things changed. In 1900 only 11.4% of teens between the ages of 14 and 17 were in high school.
If the student has learning disabilities, they will not tell anybody because they are too embarrassed to mention them and they struggle throughout school; they don’t ask for help. The second reason that high school grads are unable to read is failure of school systems. Schools are overpopulated and crowded and ones that are in large populated areas are more focused on academic functions then the curriculum of learning. They don’t have enough teachers or teacher’s assistants to give each individual one on one time to learn the material. Students don’t have that support from the teacher that they need to succeed in school.
