North Carolina schools are probably not very different in their efforts to move toward becoming more diverse and socially just educational institutions than any other state. I feel that there are such demands on the public education system today. And schools alone cannot be solely responsible for the demands that are being placed on them. Parents and the community at large need to work together with educators to help all students succeed. Teachers and administrators recognize, of course, that children bring a plethora of issues with them to the classroom these days...drugs, gangs, violence, family dissolution and stress, financial hardship, and social discrepancy.
Not every parent has the financial Stability to send their kids to schools with great education programs, as shown in waiting for Superman. So why should the innocent children be the ones being punished for something they Have no control over? By having more well educated people in the world it will make the environment a better place. The future needs to be thought about while changes and problems are being addressed. The school board and the people within the school systems need to have more caring feelings about those students who are being left behind.
Katheleen Flores Period 6 Economics April 25, 2012 There has been a lot of tension between charter schools and public schools for a while now. The huge question of which one is better and more beneficial in our society. Charter schools and public schools have some things that different such as sources of funding, salaries of teacher sand administration, resources, learning environment, college prep, and how much money being spent per student. All of these factors contribute to the reasons why some results are different than other schools. Funding sources for charter schools are received through two blocks grants named the general purposes block grants, which are based on states averages per grade level and the categorical block
NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.
Cassie Lane Dr. Lightfoot English 1101 September 22, 2013 Suburban Schools vs. Inner-City Schools Education is an important part of our children’s lives, but all children do not get the same educational opportunities as their counterparts. All across the country, many School districts located in different localities are unequally funded; therefore, not all children get the same quality education. Schools in suburban areas are better than inner-city schools. They have better learning facilities, state of the art technology and better curriculums.
The cultural influences that inundate students at every turn, exacerbated by the media dwarfs most effort of other social influences. The schools have to champion academic necessity and success. Many of the parents of the students are young and do not have the proper support to raise their children. While there are not overwhelming numbers of this, the percentage is high enough to disrupt the academic environment. I have witnessed what one student can do to a classroom and community of students.
Instructor: Subject: - English 91 Due date: - 05/14/2012 Rewards Program in School In the United State most of school districts face educational problem that makes students fail to pass their levels. To find a solution most of school districts are trying out different kinds of methods that can change student’s attitude towards education. One of the methods that are being tried is PASS (promoting Achievement and Student Success). Fog City School district is planning to try PASS in its under-performing high schools because many of the high schools in Fog City School district have low performance of students in test scores, achievement gap and truancy. PASS provides different type of positive solutions that can help change students performance
Wrong! I will tell you why are education system is flawed, why flunking is not a punishment and other options that we could introduce to young struggling students. The American education system is known as one of the best in the world, but just like many great things, flaws are eminent. Year in and year out, students get passed through school prematurely. Many of these kids think they’re on the right track because they pass classes and are moved along with the rest of the class.
While there are several “rags to riches” stories that serve to encourage the members of the lower class to work hard and achieve their dreams, much truth lies in the fact that the government does not provide enough opportunities for them to do so. I would recommend revising the school choice provision of the No Child Left Behind Act in order to enable the mobility of students to schools located outside of their district. By doing so, many of the children within the working class would have the option to attend a school where they could receive the same opportunities as those of their high-born
Also, they will not ask themselves are they really doing better. It is a fact that most of the charter schools have the same or lower standardized test scores as public schools. Many people do not think independently and look at how the schools are set up differently and if that has an impact on students. The audience’s perspective is not likely to be narrow because education is important to most people whether they have children or not. Many people do not look past the surface of what is going on with things like charging disciplinary fees and whether or not they are necessary.
