A good education is greatly respected and the benefits of having a college degree are much greater than those who do not receive a college education. People who have a high school diploma have fewer opportunities than those who received a college education and job companies are more likely to hire the higher educated person because of their expertise and educational experience. Although this may seem unfair and inconvenient to most, most jobs companies are looking for a more experienced person and someone who will be able to learn quicker and apply the knowledge that they have already obtained throughout college into their
Summary:Paul Krugman's “Degrees and Dollars” In his article “Degrees and Dollars” Paul Krugman states that education is not key to economic success. Technology keeps growing everyday and Paul shows that this technology is harming highly educated jobs. He also is showing that middle class jobs are becoming less popular while low wage jobs seem to be increasing. Krugman will also explain his thoughts on how to fix the economy as a whole through bring the society together as a whole. In his first section Paul says that “It is universally acknowledged that education is the key to economic success.” He is actually just stating that to make a generalization of most of the worlds thoughts on education and job success, because right after he makes that statement he goes on to say that “what everyone knows is wrong.” Krugman says that the growing technology and use of software is extremely cheaper than the “old fashioned” way of doing things.

This therefore means that since their distraction and hyperactivity levels are suppressed, they can function well and execute tasks as well as the average non-ADHD student. However, when non-ADHD students pervade the system, the state of equality is compromised. This provides non-ADHD Adderall consumers a continued advantage over the ADHD students. These essentially still have a better shot at thriving better and outperforming the ADHD. This deliberate use of Adderall to gain better grades puts ADHD students at a further disadvantage because there is no other means by which the field could be leveled once more.

I still work hard and get good grades, but there is less of a motivation to study constantly and I often find myself not using my free time as efficiently as I would have at home. Although some of the behavioral effects of the instrumental conditioning have persisted, I now have to rely more on intrinsic motivation and the habits formed during the conditioning instead of the constant reward/punishment system employed by teachers and
• Questions may be interpreted by respondents in ways the researcher did not foresee or intend. In relation to question: Advantages: - Teachers much less likely to disguise their true feelings in order to protect their professional image (Item B). - Anonymity in this kind of research is important because of the sensitiveness of the topic, questionnaires allow this. - Quick and easy, people do not have to put in much effort or allow someone to ‘get to know them’ at a more personal level, thus more people are likely to take part in the research, increasing the overall reliability. Disadvantages - The data collected is not qualitative, whereas the issue at hand really needs a qualitative response.
A funding formula is a formula that gives a school the same amount of funds for each pupil. This can affect a working class child’s education because if other schools have a higher fund because they are more popular due to better exam results then working class children are unlikely to be able to get a placement at that school so they will be silt-shifted to a less popular school which has lower exam results because of its lack of funding due to its lack of pupils. However, this idea can be criticised because if an unpopular school gets too bad they will be put into special measures by ofsted, this then gives them more funding to try and help improve the school, if this is achieved then their popularity will improve. Silt-shifting is when a school off-loads pupils with learning difficulties who are expensive to teach and so get poor results. This benefits middle class pupils as all the troublesome students are removed from their school it means the teachers have more time for them to improve their grades thus making the school more popular because of their rank in the league tables then letting them cream-skim thus improving the school further.
.” so, even before you look at the expectations, you see that the standards are uniform. This implies that individual differences either don’t exist or are not important enough to be addressed. This kind of wording disregards the fact that not all kids learn the same. Furthermore, considerable research has demonstrated that students who are actively involved in designing their own learning are more successful, so it would make sense to allow more academic freedom in the classroom, and therefore less specific standards. (Kohn,
In today’s job climate, for an individual to increase their chances of obtaining a steady source of income, diversity in multiple fields is important. Instead of doing the bare minimum required for their major, more students should take into consideration the possibility of minoring in a subject that will yield them more job opportunities, “the key to finding a job is flexibility.” (SF Chronicle) A degree in Biology, Business, etc. is a solid degree nonetheless, but a degree in Business and a minor in Computer Science shows that the individual has the potential to succeed in either field and has more skills to offer to their potential employer. As the number of job openings dramatically decreases, a minor in a high-demand field of work can greatly improve one’s chances. Also, students need to drastically lower their expectations when it comes to finding a job, “a lot of students want that perfect needle-in-the-haystack job but with this economy that’s just not possible.” (SF Chronicle).
