Most parents want a good education for their children and to give them the best start in life but not all parents have the income required to pay the sometimes astronomical school fees. There are plenty of very good state schools which sometimes can be a more equal playing field to nurture the student’s needs both in learning and in a social capacity. After love, a good education is the best thing you can give your children, so why
A disadvantage of going to a private school might be that sometimes students are isolated from other social challenges. However some sociologists would argue that the type of school is not the most important thing that effects your achievement. They would say that what goes on in a school ay be more important. For example if you are labelled. Labelling is when teachers give you a 'nickname' reflected on the behaviour of the student, for example, if a student is working very well in a certain subject, then your teacher might label you the
There are a number of strengths and limitations of using unstructured interviews to study pupil subcultures. Pupils may be in articulate or reluctant to talk, so unstructured interviews give them time and space along with encouragement to work out their responses. However, younger pupils have a shorter attention span so they may find long unstructured interviews too demanding as they can be quite time consuming. They can take several hours each and pupils are restrained to their timetable. There is also the need for training and the interviewer needs to have a background into education increasing the cost.
In her essay “Gender in the Classroom,” Deborah Tannen uses her own experiences as a college professor, the experiences of other professors, her research and writing, and the work of other social scientists to discuss why students behave differently from each other in the classroom. She concludes that three factors affect how students behave: (1) gender, (2) nationality and (3) past educational experiences. Gender plays a big role inside a classroom. Tannen explains that gender affects peoples behavior in different ways. She states, “So one reason men speak in the class more than women is that many of them find the 'public' classroom setting more conductive to speaking, whereas most women are more comfortable speaking in private to small group of people they know well” (227)Accoriding to her statement men are more outspoken then women since they rather speak in small groups.
Payne stated that students should learn the “hidden rules” of the middle class from their educators so that they have another set of rules to use if they choose to do so. Impoverished students, compared to students of middle or upper class, often have a lack of proper funding, thus, a lack of appropriate resources to use in their education. Due to this, they are often unprepared for school, not having the money to purchase books and other educational tools. Both authors realize this, but argue that the responsibility lies on different shoulders. Payne states that impoverished students face inequality at school, insinuating that the school should be responsible for helping to provide for these students so that they can have a better education.
First of all, affording a university is important to every student. The budget is a very important factor when choosing where students want to study, especially for those students that do not have a privileged socio-economic status. As a general rule, public universities receive state or federal funds and therefore the cost of attending to a state-run college is a lot less expensive than attending to a private institution so the former is more accessible to students. Secondly, ethnicity inside a college is considered an advantage. Public universities should not differentiate between applicants on the basis of their ethnic, religious or social backgrounds because they are financed by the federal and state money.
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.
People in poorer communities tend to face harder obstacles like a bad home life, hard economic times, and influences that push dropping out of school. These students also have to deal with old, out-of-date school supplies like textbooks-even their teachers tend to not be as qualified as teachers in wealthier school districts. Furthermore, due to standardized testing, teachers in these poorer school districts tend to teach to the test by teaching with the drill-and-kill method where kids are being taught by memorizing certain multiple choice questions and answers (Neill 29-35). Surprisingly, high-stakes test like promotion tests are the main contributors to retention of students- most of which have learning disabilities. Retention, though, has proved to not help students academically.
Boredom can be felt in many ways. Lectures during school can have a huge impact on students who are bored. Many times during a lecture, a student does not want to hear what is being said. A lecture may have certain sayings that are repeated which may frustrate people if they do not want to hear anything in the first place, and being frustrated from a lecture may cause a person to not
In short, the colossal overall cost of uniforms can become a large obstacle in the way of trying to enter a child into a private school and can overwhelm many families. Second, individuality between students is severely reduced. Creativity between students is reduced, because the ideal of a student in a “uniformed” school is that he/she becomes a lawyer, doctor, scientist, etc. The problem is that there are people who are designed to
