They also do not have the financial foundation to support their urge to spend money on the products advertised. Children are much more gullible than adults. Sharon Bedor wrote in a 1998 national conference article about her concerns about advertising to such a young age. “There are questions about the ability of children so young to understand advertising and its intent and not be deceived and manipulated by it. Experts say that children do not understand persuasive intent until they are eight or nine years old and that it is unethical to advertise to them before then.
Many people argue that development is vital in the younger years in the child’s life, and the ability to solve problems and apply ideas help in the long-term. Hyman argues that the lower classes create a self imposed barrier to learning their values. This is because he believes that they have a low value on education, with a ‘play safe’ culture and also a low level of self belief. This would all impact on the child performance at school as they would not have the attitude needed to progress. If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation.
Although it has become the most popular and wide spread form of discipline reform effort in the schools today it is highly controversial. Advocates of zero tolerance claim that it prevents school violence by removing dangerous students immediately after an infraction. These claims have not been tested to be a strong deterrent only theorized. The research that is available suggests that expulsion policies have had more of a negative impact on students and has had no preventative effect in disciplining students. The research has been done on zero tolerance in the home but not extensively in the school.

How I learned to read or write… Trying to remember how I learned to read or write is hard for me. I don’t know why either. To get some help to refresh my memory I started to go through my elementary school papers. I’m so happy my mom saved my early education moments. Without those papers I would be lost trying to recall what happened.
As a result, children could fail their exam or could not find a job in the future. In addition, the author also argues that it is difficult to control children through texting. Children usually use the messages as codes to hide some things. As a result, parents hardly to understand and control their children. Both authors mention the using of abbreviations in messages.
These two students show that school uniforms do not help students improve their academics and also students do not like the uniforms at all. Even studies have proven that uniforms do not increase student’s academics or behavior. For example a study done Dr. Alan Hilfer, senior psychologist in Brooklyn’s Children’s and Adolescent Unit at Maimonides Medical Center states “Clothes are a source of expression for children, by instituting a uniform policy, schools are taking away kids’ individuality.”(Teen Ink 3). Another study done by David L. Brunsma at the University of Alabama had tested the effects of school uniforms on attendance, behavior problems, substance abuse, and academic achievement. And he concluded that the uniforms had didn’t help improve any of these things.
I find that hard to believe, and that no one can blame the schools for the illegal allegation towards the kids. They should be taught at home that forcing your self on another; for sexual actions is no right! The essay told
In the essay “School Is Bad for Children,” the author John Holt argues that traditional schooling prevents children from using their curiosity and stunts their interests in learning. He believes that in the school system, children do not have a chance to learn what they like; they learn what the teachers tell them they must learn causing them to become passive learners. The children don’t have a chance to learn from mistakes or through other children because they are scolded for talking and having wrong answers. John Holt believes that because of all this children learn to hate school and he proposes ideas to reform the school system and make it a more efficient place for children to learn. Holt was persuasive and I found myself agreeing
One of the arguments of co-education is the idea that it provides too many distractions for students. Several scholars have argued that these distractions have led to less attention on school work and class participation, due to girls and boys trying to impress each other. Furthermore, it has also been argued that students who are intimidated by the opposite sex may also be affected by low performance and low grades. Many educators believe that single-sex education does not enforce any type of gender-based stereotypes or adolescent subculture. Due to this, single-sex schools have been established to combat these issues.
