You’d be surprised how different it really was back in the early 1900s. Schools back in the 1900s had a much more difficult time than students today with all of the technological advances. In the early 1900s schools only had one teacher, a large room to teach in and every grade level to teach. School wasn’t really required back then, most attended but once a male was in about the sixth grade, he would drop out and help work with his father to support the family. They didn’t even know if school would still be around now; they thought that teaching would fail, all together giving up on education.
The foreign policy failures of the British governments 1951-64 were due to the lack of realism in the post war world? This essay will ascertain the truth behind the statement and ask the questions as to whether the respective prime ministers, could have done more to secure a better and more efficient foreign policy. The statement has some truth to it, as Britain was for the best part of the 13 years under the Tories accommodating the notion that they were a great superpower, this ultimately lay with the prime minister, this view was shared between two consecutive prime ministers, notable Anthony Eden who for the most part of his appointment spent the majority of the money on military and nuclear projects, this very idea of sitting at the big table was catastrophic for Britain and shown by the Suez Crisis. This showed Britain how much they needed American aid in boosting their economy, and that the lack of communication with the rest of Europe created a bubble around Britain. Also holding on to this great superpower status was largely to do with the fact that Britain still had an Empire, inevitably making them feel more superior to the other European countries, this was a lack of realism as after both Suez Crisis and the formation of the EEC Britain began to understand that they were missing out.
Was King John really the worst king ever? The question as to whether King John was really the worst king ever, stills seems to be a topic of much controversy amongst historians, as they have not yet come to an exact decision on which side of the argument to deem as the truth. Some people believe that King John is to be blamed for the fate that he suffered because of certain decisions he made and brought himself to his state in the society through his actions; however, those who disagree, claim that it was simply his misfortune and that the events that came about were inevitable and were supposed to happen at some point in history, which had to unfortunately be during the reign of King John. Let's look more closely into the matter to see which side of the argument should be supported… The first reason for the belief that King John was the worst king is: he lost most of the land his ancestors had died fighting for including his hereditary lands of Normandy and Anjou. This, of course, brought shame to his name for being unable to retain lands which rightfully belonged to him.
When she arrived in the U.S. Anjelica spoke no English. Anjelica is in a bilingual classroom in which she is struggling academically. Her reading scores are significantly below average, while her math scores are slightly lower than average. Her teacher reports that she is very quiet and well-behaved, that she rarely raises her hand or asks for help, and that she has one friend in the class. Anjelica was recently administered the Stanford-Binet and her full scale IQ score was 82.
In Scotland, 51.6 per cent of those who voted were in favour. However, this was only around 33 per cent of the entire electorate and so it never came to pass. Labour had wasted much time on something that came to nothing. Furthermore, its attempts to quell nationalism had failed. This represented a major shortcoming of Labour from 1974 to
Federal intervention has failed to improve scores in part because the top-down rules that come with aid have squelched local innovation.” This statement is utterly false. For one I don’t think that schools get nearly enough if you look at Fermi High School for instance we have nothing that is up to date including text books computers and on top of it all teachers don’t get paid nearly enough as they should what teachers do each and every day is a passion for teaching not making money. Another reason why I do not like this article is because he uses the test scores as a point to make. In reality test scores are not a way that you can describe someone there are plenty of smart people that just may do badly on tests. The people that would hate a rule change like this one would be teachers and students because many of these politicians don’t see what really is going on is public schools.
Loewen argues that the fact memorization approach to education is useless, and generally results in a mass of people who think the Civil War was in 1776 after which the United States drew up a constitution and formed a country. In accordance with this philosophy, Sandra Wong states in her article “Life Course: Stages and Institutions,” that the attitude of many professional historical associations is not to teach “history as fact memorization,” but to teach the history as being open for the students’ own understanding (Wong 4). In conjunction with this is Allan Kownslar’s statement, in the book Teaching American History: A Quest for Relevancy, that “many students assume that a history textbook is the history of whatever topic appears on the title page” (19). This is scary when considering the usual language of the title pages, as James Loewen agrees that the “problem originates […] at the beginning,” he notes such titles as “Rise of the American Nation” and “The Great Republic.” He compares these titles to the titles of texts of different subjects and how they are not called “Rise of the Molecule,” but plainly “Chemistry” (Loewen
But even with all that funding they are not seeing very good results. Only 35 percent of American high school seniors are proficient readers. Only 23 percent are proficient in math. Only 50 percent of black and Hispanic students graduate high school in four years. After putting all those stats together it comes at no surprise

Kachapoom Tanyaluck Professor Modzelewski English 101 19 May 2015 The Failing Thai Education System In developing countries like Thailand, education is perceived as the only way to lift oneself out of poverty, and into the realms of respectability and wealth. Thais see education as the great social equalizer and the route to success in life. In the course of the past few years, however, the quality of the Thai education system has been worsening at an alarmingly rapid rate. According to Pearson’s 2012 Global Index, Thailand's education system was ranked 37th out of 40 countries assessed (“Thailand Scores Badly”). Parents are increasingly concerned about the standard of the Thai education system.
