School's Role In Moral Education
2,936 wordsThe concept of excellence in education is one that, on the surface, seems to be unquestionable. After all, who would not accede that students within our schools should, in fact, excel? Certainly teachers, parents, and administrators can agree on excellence as an aim to shoot for. The interpretation of the term 'excellence' is, however, less obvious. How do we regard excellence? Is it the college bound student with a broad liberal arts education? Is it the student who graduates high school traine...

Teacher In The Detroit Public School System
971 wordsI am a teacher in the Detroit Public School system. Being a teacher did not start out being the profession of choice. However, I do enjoy teaching. Pedagogy is in fact an art and a science. Being a pedagogue is most rewarding. Thus, pedagogy has its own unique complications. Technology has revolutionized the art of teaching. This revolution has presented a strange dichotomy in the field of education. Whatever teaching may have evolved into; it is and will remain a dichotomous field. The dichotom...

My Philosophy Of Education
395 wordsIn light of this course, I would say that my philosophy of education has changed. My first paper, in retrospect, reads almost like a fantasy of what teaching should be like. I think in this aspect I have matured enough to realize that everything in this profession is not 'Disney' material. There are going to be students who do not follow directions, and worse who don't care about succeeding a tall. I would feel responsible for these children if I thought that there was a chance to help them. Unf...

Secondary Grammar Schools

While the twentieth century has brought about a separation between church and state (in th...

Being Unjust The Magnet School Plan
934 wordsWhy The End of Integration? After four decades of school integration America has given up, and the question is: 'Why?'. I believe the answer is because absolutely nothing worked! Busing was a hassle, most magnet schools were set up for false reasons, and everything was very costly. With everything they tried there were still no significant changes in the test scores of the minority students. So now here were in the late 21st century and it can all be summed up with what Chris Hansen of the Ameri...

Big Problem With Education In Urban Areas
1,249 words. Kozol feels that the way in which we fund public schools is arcane and unfair (54). Since most areas in the US rely on property tax in order to fund education, the poorer districts are at a disadvantage over the wealthy districts because of lack of income. This is a problem because the wealthy schools keep getting wealthier and the poor schools keep getting poorer. For example Kozol points to the inner city schools of Chicago in comparison with a suburban high school (New Trier). He states tha...

High School To Four Years

If you have searched in vain for your ancestor's high school records, it may very well be that such r...

Children Of Today And Education

Due to a decline in the pressure put upon children and teenagers to do well in school, this caused a decline in the output of effort from these children. Without such effort, kids go to school not caring about how they do and what type of grades the make. Without such caring, their futures become uncertain and most certainly harder for them to make it in the "real world"....

School Students
1,833 wordsEducational inequality makes up a huge part of our educational system. We have kids in poor, inner-city schools that don't have sufficient plumbing, books, classrooms and teachers. Many of these schools don't have the funding or facilities to even have these children in schools and yet nothing seems to be done to help these kids get out of the run down buildings that we have put them in. Their lives seem to be predetermined by what schools they attend, if they live in a rich district they will g...

School Inclusion Of Special Education Students
2,736 wordsFinal Against Mainstreaming Educational Society Final Paper Against Mainstreaming Faced with skyrocketing costs and wildly uneven results, nearly two-thirds of the states are sketching plans to limit special education spending. Most hope to save money by pushing disabled children out of the small, specialized classes (that many of them need to succeed) and into crowded, ill-equipped classrooms where they will compete with non-disabled peers. On the other hand, some parents and teachers see this ...
