Gatto compares school to a factory or prison which, generally speaking, are not fun places to be. This style of diction, with Gatto consistently projecting new words of the same connotation suggests his point of view on rejection of this prison-like system. The author appeals to anyone who has or has not questioned the usefulness of education. He appeals to our common sense by asking a simple question: why do we need this? Almost every student has thought the same thing at some point, but lacks the confidence needed to express these feelings to the public.
Readers could argue that Twain’s main point of the novel was to be offensive. But either way, he did just that. Times have changed and that word has no longer become an acceptable word for people to use. Most African American students grew up being taught that it was a horribly offensive word, and to never use it. So with that being said, many students could feel uncomfortable hearing it at school.
He appreciates Jim for what he is and how he treats him back. Do you think society should still have the way of thinking it had when Mark Twain wrote this novel? Wouldn’t it be a waste to recover from the slave trade and racisms if we still can’t handle having a book like this in schools? This kind of novel should be read as a requirement in school because it is the only way that society can advance into a world were equality and moral is the main policy. We need society to change, because this is are subjects that are real, and affect us all as
Will children be educated enough to understand when making self-serving, society-serving or morally-based decisions, or is today’s educational criteria a form of brainwashing to help our current government stay in power? “Conflict theorists argue that the real purpose of the public school system is to reproduce and maintain the existing class structure in our society.” (123) In several sections of the book, I disagreed with the notion that education best serves society; I believe it should be the other way
As well did I when I first read Gatto's piece against school. But after reanalyzing this article I was able to pick it apart. By going to school you are able to learn and improve the skills you need for future commissions. But Gatto refuses to believe in the public school educational system. Gatto says that school diminishes creativity; if anything kids discover their hidden creativeness in class while at school.
The picture to the right identifies the factors that a teacher needs to recognise before planning strategies and teaching the class (Curriculumsupport.edu.nsw.gov.au, 2015). * A strategy for teachers to consider is to develop an understanding of Aboriginality. Aboriginality is about culture and identity. If a teacher can develop an understanding of Aboriginality it can prove vital to understand how an Indigenous student can learn (Curriculumsupport.edu.nsw.gov.au, 2015). * Teachers of the Department of Education and Training will have to gain the knowledge and understanding of and respect for Aboriginal Australia so they can then relate to any indigenous students in the classroom setting (Curriculumsupport.edu.nsw.gov.au, 2015).
Someday, I didn’t even wanted to go to school because my teachers used to use a strong punishment for students who come to class and they’re not prepared. The most difficult part was for me was pronunciation since my major was “English” and we usually don’t practice English in my country except for “ doctors” and “engineering” I had many words that couldn’t even read neither pronounce it. I think that our minds must be area or gap for choice about how to think in order to understand things well as Ho thoughtful about children’s mind in the article 2. Which of Ho’s ideas
I would like the writer to discuss more ways to get high school students to focus in school and how teachers or parents can help them achieve their goals. The comparison of this essay to my expectations are not very different at all, I agree with everything the writer has to say because education has only been getting worse throughout the years and the way that high school diplomas are just being handed out to seniors is not how it used to be which defeats the whole purpose of even learning. Sherry’s essay helps the readers clearly understand how education for high school students has become insignificant. Overall, Mary Sherry did really well writing this essay by using her thoughts and experiences to help the readers to be more informed on the
Dear Mr. Kaufman, Georgia Gwinnett College has really developed from the biased opinions of the society that surrounds this vicinity. I’m merely writing to input my opinion of the Freedom of Expression policy that I come to agree and disagree with. I agree that a policy should be grounded within a public school but I disagree how our individual freedom gets restricted. The timing for the policy is very absurd because not all students are aware of the policy. This makes it harder for them to go around their busy schedule to accommodate a session of freedom that should be expressed at anytime of ones will.
Each state has federal laws in place to regulate tests, curriculum, how much funding each school receives, to scholarship, and grants. What is wrong with this is that there is a conflict between federal, state , and school boards about what agendas are important; a student can be a C average in one state or school and move to another where they are on the honor role, I know of this first hand. Another problem is that federal and state government prevents poorer schools from receiving the funding they need to help their students improve academically. Because of the lack of funding for much needed improvements and resources, the poorer schools also have the worst performance ratings. Creating this bigger gap in funding only hinders a school from achieving academic excellence and eventually causes teachers to lose jobs and schools to shut down.
