It is my personal opinion that these experts should stop talking about closing the educational gap and referencing things in the past that cannot be changed, but instead should be making strides toward encouraging black students to succeed. This encouragement should be done in a way that is more relatable to teenagers today. It was mentioned that 82% of failed proficiency tests and 84% of Ds or Fs were by black students along with a 203 point gap in black/white SAT scores. Along with these discouraging numbers, it was made known
Uniform: The Mandate for High Schools “I challenge all our schools to teach character education, to teach good values and good citizenship, If it means that schoolrooms will be more orderly, more discipline; young people will learn to evaluate themselves by what they are on the inside instead of what they’re wearing on the outside then public schools should be able to require students to wear school uniforms.” For over twenty-five years, critics have argued that school uniforms represses individual freedom and are more expensive than normal clothing. Notwithstanding these opinions, it should be mandatory for high school students to wear school uniforms. With the extensive student population in high schools across the United States with learners of diverse backgrounds, there are a mixture of students who represents a high income that can afford to buy fashionable and costly clothing, while low-income students are forced to buy clothing from thrift stores or discount retail stores. Uniforms will therefore help students to be less distracted and focus more on learning than fashion. Uniforms will create equality and help with discipline, which will help to reduce dangerous altercations.
Opponents are saying that uniforms are violating potential civil rights for the student. Uniforms should be the dress code for the public school because it creates equality among the students and it improves students’ attendance and graduation rates. The first reason why uniforms should be the dress code for public school is that it creates a sense of equality among the many diverse students. If the student wears a uniform, they won’t be able to notice the difference between the rich students or poor students; therefore it could improve a student’s self-esteem. The uniform also eliminates students wearing gang related clothing and girls wearing clothes that are too revealing and inappropriate for school.
The church we are talking about in this context is more the organized institution of church and not the sanctuaries some people confide in or, the community that the Sunday sermon can bring to people. The extreme radicals in religion are prevalent in all religions in the world and these will frequently get predicated against all people who are part of these religions. These stereotypes are almost always negative and most of the times they are not even close to the truth. The most dominant stereotype in our western world is of course faced towards Muslims. These stereotypes can be dangerous because it generates hate and fear making otherwise intelligent people
Most students can agree that uniforms are the most exciting component about school, however governments and schools are reconsidering removing the school uniform policy, but what they really are removing is an important childhood memory and breaking a tradition. School uniforms help transform students to obtain a neat and smart appearance and as a matter of fact, help prepare them for adulthood for many reasons. A majority of school uniforms are designed to give a formal approach, which develops a neat, presentable and professional appearance for all students. Many public schools don’t require a uniform policy, including the public school I went to back in my primary years. The way I remember how most students dressed when attending this school would give the appearance that they were going to a night club, it was disappointing to see numerous amounts of young students dress this inappropriately.
Ditching School Good Idea? I was watching a commercial the other day and Lebron James stated that every twenty six seconds a student drops out f high school. There are many causes why students drop-out of school. Students are ditching school and easily getting away with it. They're not understanding why it is so important to go to school.
How would parents feel if they knew their child was advanced through school without properly knowing the material they would need to succeed in life? In the year of 2001 George Bush enacted the No Child Left Behind law. This law makes it so every child in a school is included. This is a good law, but what happens to the children who don’t learn as fast as their peers. Not a lot of people realize that children are passed to the next grade level no matter how they are doing academic wise only socially.
Others believe by removing socioeconomic differences student equality would be created. By making uniforms in public schools mandatory, there would be an improvement in social equality, better grades, reduction in violence, lower cost of clothing for parents, and a stronger sense of unity among the students. By instituting uniforms, barriers of economic differences would be broken down by the removal of designer and name brand clothing. Students, unable to purchase the costly designer and name brand clothing, would no longer be ridiculed because of their clothing. All students would wear the same type of clothing, which would allow students to focus less on certain groups.
Moore felt trapped and earlier revealed that he dropped out of school sophomore year because he disliked school from first grade. Robinson stated in his video that the school system was structured for the Enlightenment Era and says that’s why America’s economy is down. Hopefully the government can fix the educational system so students can become more interested in school so there are less drop outs like Moore. Today school is supposed to get children ready for the world and get them a good job, so they can flourish as an adult. However, they strip individuality from the children and morph them into obedient soldiers.
They also help students develop better people-skills, as well as teach them how to act in a real-life situation, such as a job. Single-sex education does not educate girls and boys any better than coed schools, according to research published by the American Psychological Association analyzing 184 studies of more than 1.6 million students from around the world. Many people believe that separating boys and girls in schools would help them focus better on academics, but studies prove that this is not the case. Also, schools are supposed to prepare students for the “real world”, as well as jobs, and both have both sexes. Researchers also looked at studies that examined coed schools that offered single-sex instruction in certain subjects and found no significant benefits for boys or girls in these cases.
