It also can make it easier than in the past for a student who switches schools, because now schools broadly have to follow a similar curriculum. The national curriculum was introduced to enable assessment, which also helped to compile league tables. League tables (1988 education act) are another change that has helped the education system. League tables are used to compare the academic achievements of different institutions and parents can use them to decide which school they want their child(ren) to go to. Using league tables is a good thing as if you want your child to go to a good school, you can chose the one most suitable with good education and exam results.

Questionnaires are a good way to investigate the role of parents in pupils’ achievement as they are cheap to make and send around, as stated in Item B the children can distribute them to their parents. Using questionnaires means that there is no need to recruit and train professional interviewers to collect and assess the data because the parents complete and return the questionnaires themselves. Questionnaires use mainly closed ended questions which help to give an uncomplicated answer which is easy to quantify. Positivists prefer questionnaires because they are often to a larger scale which makes them more representative and standardised questions and answers produce reliable data as other researchers can replicate the questionnaire. Positivists believe that questionnaires are very reliable and that is the main positive goal.
I realized that my education; given that I was raised in a peaceful society, without threat of war, or starvation, or disease, should have served me much better. Every generation educates the next so that the latter can exceed the limits of their ancestors. But my generation of Americans is the first to show blatant evidence that we have been raised NOT to evolve, but to be lowered by a consumerist
The bottles are toxin-free and carbon neutral, compared to popular plastic bottles containing petroleum. They are also reusable, recyclable and compostable in 80 days. The companies say that for every 72 plant-based bottles produced, they save one gallon of oil. Water is sourced within 500 miles of plants and the bottles also use 65 percent less energy and fuel to
But I think, if people could be extraordinary on a regular basis, he wouldn’t have any examples. We would all be free thinkers in our own right and wouldn’t need schooling. He gives examples of ideas for solving these issues, such as,”… encouraging the best qualities of youthfulness—curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight.” I think at times it almost sounds like he’s just advocating letting children run care free. Don’t worry about the future, just be who you are and develop at your God given ability level. He also refers to public education as being, “Mass schooling of a compulsory nature…” citing it would 1) Make people good.
Policy needs to address the need the economy has for the undocumented workers in the U.S. and find a way to authorize their presence. Deporting all of them is not a realistic solution, as it would cost too much. As long as they are contributing to the economy and not involved in criminal enterprises, there should be a more realistic approach to obtaining legal
.” 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,
With these exceptions it explains how a product can be bought without being made in the U.S. It’s hard to understand how to follow the Buy American Act when it states it wants us to use only American made products but also states that there are exemptions to buying foreign products. From what I see the Act would want the government to by U.S. goods but there may be times that using goods from the U.S. may cost more than those of a foreign country. “The use of public interest provides administrative discretionary flexibility to cover not only the application of the requirements but also the interpretation of the other exception,” as stated by Noorzoy in “Buy American” As an Instrument of Policy. (Noorzay, p.
This allows for a more focused eye on subjects that will be on standardized tests like math and reading. This actually causes a less well-rounded education since teachers have to start teaching to the test. Teaching to test does not cause smarter kids, but instead causes kids to memorize certain parts of a subject while leaving out other subjects like music and art which induce creativity and independence of oneself. So instead of standardized testing, schools should make sure students have a more rounded education which will actually make the kids smarter than when drilling them for standardized tests.
