Also, if student’s only studies subjects that interest them then they are being ignorant to the world around them. Overall, students will be challenging themselves and they would not develop practical skills. Graff believes schools should integrate nonacademic interests as objects of academic study, such as street smart, to the traditional education system. He explains that kids who are street smart do not have interest in the traditional education system and therefore, do not do well in their academic studies. Graff uses his own experience as an example, “It was in … my reading of sports books and magazines, that I began to learn the rudiments of the intellectual life: how to make an argument” (201).
In fact there is rare evidence that the opposite is true. However, this does not seem so important for 2 reasons. First, no one is really doing anything huge about it besides, some schools have already started to encourage educators who are musicians but to do not teach music at their schools, to volunteer their time to guide students to becoming involved with music and art. Secondly, much of the research which encompasses a different viewpoint than the creative arts is more useful than math, seems to lean more towards drawing a connection between the creative arts and other subjects, showing that the creative arts do make students smarter but that it is still more important to be good in all other subjects as well. The article titled , “Does Music Make You Smarter?”, which was published in Music Educators Journal brings up some important information regarding the problem.
The question is, how much of an impact does home background have on education? Material deprivation is argued to have a huge impact on education. Without access to things such as the internet or revision materials, advancing your knowledge outside of school is almost impossible. This puts working class children at a distinct disadvantage to their middle class counterparts who have access to educational books, the internet, private tutors and even just a quiet area to study. Material deprivation can also extend to before formal education, with middle class young children being given educational toys, whilst working class children are far less likely to receive these expensive toys and are more likely to be given non-educational toys.
Montaigne believes that the purpose of education is for children to develop knowledge in the field they are being taught and not to just get their heads filled with different facts that he or she doesn’t understand. I believe that children should be taught to understand and not be educated to memorize things. Montaigne believes that this doesn’t teach children anything because this can easily allow them to forget what they have learned because they are not understanding it. Montaigne states that education should put a child “through its paces, making it taste things, choose them, and discern them by itself” (pg.110). Children should learn through their own pace and we shouldn’t throw things at them that will be difficult for them to acquire.
With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose. Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better.With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms.
NBT1 Task 1 Classroom Management Philosophy By Rebecca Skeens Introduction What makes a classroom a place of controlled, exciting exploration and learning? What is the difference between an unruly, chaotic, unsuccessful class and a wellordered, well-behaved, successful class? It is the teacher and her implementation of a well-thought out management plan. If left to their own devices, a class of students will develop and natural hierarchy consisting of the ruling few, their lieutenants, the foot soldiers, and the general peon population. This naturally formed structure is not conducive to a cooperative, respectful, safe, learning environment.
“The institutions traditionally procure, provide and control the technology for learning but now students are acquiring their own personal technologies for learning and institutions are challenged to keep pace” (Research in Technology Learning, 2010). Computers and other technical devices that are being used to enhance student learning helps to make teaching more creative and effective; however, it has also caused a lot of confusion and chaos in regards to ethics. Once teachers only had to be concerned about the basic rules of classroom etiquette and they could govern their classroom visually. Now teachers have to implement rules and guidelines to ensure that technology in the classroom is being used for its intended purpose to protect students from lurking dangers that might not always be detected by human
However, when you keep the so-called negative parts of the books in kids gain knowledge of what and what's not good to do,say,or,act. So , books should not be banned from society. Books are peoples way to escape reality for just a moment time. Henceforth , books should not be banned because it allows kids and any one of that matter to escape their reality. (4) Some kids may not have a good life at home and when they read it allows them to forget about things for a while.
Today, children view school as a “place of danger”, and their main focus is to avoid danger as much as possible (Holt 360). This danger comes in the form of mistakes on tests, quizzes, and homework assignments in which the children earn grades based on what they are able to remember at that time, instead of making a long-term connection between the educational content and the children’s own distinct method of learning. Teachers, despite their best intentions, diminish the children’s will to read when they conform to these “conventional” methods of teaching. These methods have made a game, between the teachers and students, out of learning to read; a game in which the students are to guess what the teachers want to hear and to agree with the conclusions the teachers draw. This gives children the impression that reading is dangerous, because they don’t want to make mistakes and lose the game.
The only negative I see in the self-contained setting is the fact that the kids are sometimes cut off from the general education students. Socializing and interacting with other students is very important during a student’s educational experience. This is the time where kids learn to be tolerant of other people’s differences and learn to work with others. The inclusive classroom to me should only be prescribed on a case by case basis. I feel it is a good idea in theory but in some cases it is just not a reasonable solution to me.
