However, the question is not how loved children are, it is how well educated they are. Homeschooling provides a better and safer environment for children to learn. “Some families choose to homeschool because their local schools are plagued
Many interventions are made by schools to help promote better health in children. This essay will look at three case studies and use them to show how effective these interventions are or are not. After studying them it became clear that there were four main interventions used by the schools to help promote better health in the children, these are exercise,education,food and health monitoring. The first two case studies look at two girls from different countries and we see what is similar and different about their school and home life. The third case study looks at a school that has had success due to a new headteacher implementing interventions.
They are able to manipulate the education system to their advantage which means their children have a better chance at doing well in school. Disconnected-local choosers and semi-skilled choosers are working-class parents who have a lack of cultural capital and therefore their child’s academic progress suffers as they are usually sent to ‘local’ schools which they aren’t necessarily best suited for. Children who have cultural capital also have an elaborated code (wider vocabulary) which gives them an advantage at school as it is the code used by teachers and in textbooks. The elaborated code is typically used by middle class and helps with their academic achievement. Children with a lack of cultural capital are more likely to use the restricted code (limited vocabulary) which disadvantages them at school as they feel excluded and are therefore less successful.
A child is usually with their parents for three to five years before they enter into the public schools. Those three to five years are crucial in a child’s life. Their parents have already molded and shaped many ideals and beliefs their child will subconsciously have forever. I agree with the reading in regards to the statement that, “social and cultural practices of a family are key considerations in the family literacy program.” I think that students learn best when it’s associated to prior knowledge. If an instructor or program allowed for students to learn based on the home’s cultural views, the child would more than likely understand the material better and also do better in school.
Parents who do spank their children are not abusing them. It is simply a form of discipline. By making it illegal to spank their own children, you take away a parent’s rights. Many parents are speaking up about how they feel towards this subject. A concerned mother said "I
Greg Toppo agrees with these statements on the positivity of homework for struggling students. Toppo displays his agreement with the topic when he says “While homework is thought to be harmful to students, Toppo says ‘But he said homework may have other benefits. For instance, it keeps parents aware of what their child is learning in school. ‘I’ve had some very emotional parents come to me about having been told by teachers that their child is struggling, that there might be a learning disability,’ he said”(Toppo). It is becoming easier to see how helpful homework really can be, to struggling students especially.
Group Grading While volunteering in my son’s kindergarten class I have come to realize that education is one area that would not benefit from group grading system. Grading students as a group allows some students to advance based on the work of others, and individual grading makes each student responsible for their own future. Although some people may benefit from a group grading system, an individual grading system is a much better way to judge a student’s level of knowledge, makes them accountable for their own work, and keeps teachers informed of what each student is learning. One of the many ways grading students as a group is less efficient and seemingly harmful is the fact that all students do not have the same level of knowledge. Some academics come naturally to students and if they are outnumbered by those that don’t comprehend the lesson, then they may receive a poor grade.
Plot: Persepolis revolved around the history of Iran and the childhood of a young girl. In the 1970s, Marji (Marjane) was learning very young. The Islamic Republic was formed. Marji, at the age of ten years, was forced to wear a veil to school. Her French, Boys and Girls, school was abolished because the leaders felt it was inappropriate and against Islam to have Boys and Girls in the same school.
At age twenty one Basnet opened the Early Childhood Development Center, also known as ECDC (Waiting for Mamu). Most of the children in ECDC are emotionally, physically, or mentally scared, some even had to witness their own father murdering their mothers (Rai). A couple of children had never even left the prison. EDCD offers the kids to get a full education. For the older kids, they get to live a normal life by going to school and interacting with kids their own age (Toner).
In all actuality they may have a learning disability that has not been detected. Therefore parents should never take everything that a teacher says for face value especially if they believe that there is another reason for their child’s lack of success. The readings suggest that perhaps seeking the assistance of the school administration whenever parents don’t agree with a teacher’s diagnosis of a student’s learning problem. Public schools are required to assists parents that have concerns about students that have or may have learning disabilities. When all parties have reached a consensus that there is a greater problem than meets the eye, either psycho-educational testing is begun or the RTI model is initiated.
