This bought on Marketisation where schools try to attract other students by raising standards to show they are most successful. On the other hand, sociologists disagree as most educational reforms have not helped all students, only some or wasn’t very effective enough to help improve educational experiences. For example, the Foster Act wasn’t very helpful as the teaching was dire and students were less successful therefore resulted them in having weak qualifications and bad experiences. The Butler Act system with the 11+ exam was mostly based on middle class children therefore they had a better chance than working class. This was unequal as they had an advantage even though the test was the same.
Success is personal, but the degree of a person’s focus distinguishes the uppermost achievers from the rest of the mass of humanity. Focus is attention extended for long periods of time. It makes the biggest difference in life. A person who finds one interest by chance and sticks to it so as to develop a specific skill, will more readily develop a full passionate avocation that can eventually lead to a life-long career. Formal education, high IQ or talent don’t automatically cause an early beginner to make it to the top.
On the other hand, it’s much more objective and accurate to give scores based on the achievements of the student. In fact, this is a more commonly used way of assessing students. It’s because this takes less time and reflects the students’ performance better. Also, colleges and companies prefer a person who works really hard and gets a successful result to a person who does his best but fail in achieving his goal. Thus, grading based on the achievement is better to reflect students’ capacity that companies need.
Hard work is something learned through being challenged and if a child is not challenged in their early years of education they will typically slack off in their high school and college years when hard work becomes key to success. The intelligent person doesn't have to work as hard to succeed because they'll use their intelligence to make the right choices & see connections that lead them to successful conclusions. But they do still have to work. An intelligent but lazy person could end up being equal to a less intelligent but hard working person. In general: Hard work + Intelligence = Very good grades.
How do they do it? Most of the time they don't really understand the material in the class, but somehow manage to pass with good grades. There are many downsides to what Bruno describes as being “cheated in the long run." He mentioned that although the students have remembered all the facts they don't really achieve any additional intelligence. He brought up a good point that a lot of people wouldn't have thought of in terms of a student’s education.
It was very plain and simple. Students get real use to think technique because throughout high school it was so repetitive and we all got very comfortable with it. Although the 5 paragraph format limits our ideas and we don’t get to expand on our topics because we are so stuck on the 3 ideas and we just to those instead of expanding our thinking. By limiting the amount of ideas we chose we think we are choosing the 3 main points but there could be a possibility that the other ideas were just as important but we don’t have enough room for them. It did help us stay on track and to consistently talk about the topic instead of rambling off about irrelevant ideas.
When it comes to sports teams, they should act just as professionally as anyone else. In fact, they should act more professionally than others for the simple fact they have more youngsters looking up to them as role models. Unfortunately, many players do not act appropriately, and this does not help future generations. * Athletes should be mentors for how they play the sport, but, they should not be role models. Role models can be mentors but they can't really be role models can they?
On the other hand, sometimes I would rather learning on my own. A good and experienced teacher can help me learn faster and easier. Sometimes when learning a course by myself which is hard and confusing to understand and has few sources available, I get discouraged after spending a lot of time. In this situation, I’ll look for a teacher and request for help from him or her. And then he or she will teach me the course efficiently in a short time and therefore I will learn faster and better and won’t get discouraged and confused.
These soft skills are: Basic Skills: Because of our educational system, most of us have not improved our reading skills further than college level. These basic skills are mainly responsible for 70% of our success but most schools fail to recognise this in their curriculum. Universities and colleges follow the same pattern as the schools and therefore make the same mistake of not encouraging or teaching these skills. Interpersonal Skills: Skills such as effective negotiations, goal settings are important to the project controls profession. Experiential Learning: The International Masters in Practising Management(IMPM), was founded by Henry Mintzberg.
Our results were more effective when we ran the test on how the combination of all stats affected winning percentage, however, this would be obvious given the nature of our study. While this study did not produce the result we wanted, we believe that we could use the information learned from this study and develop a study that would be more effective. Introduction Coaches are always looking for a better understanding of what makes up a winning team. This knowledge would help them in recruiting athletes that could improve the team’s statistics in the areas we observed. We took the entire statistical breakdown from the 1999-2000 season and were hoping to find any key statistical areas that could be directly related to winning percentage.
