Analyzing David Brooks 'Honors Code'

Hi Yohan, I can see where you’re coming from in this discussion. I agree with you on some of your points. For example, I agree that Freire had an overreaction when he said that the banking concept had a “necrophilic” quality. Also, I agree that, due to their expertise, teachers should have more control in the room. The main fault I find in your post was when you said, “It is not the teacher’s job to spoon feed the information to the students and wait for them to understand the information, but instead to provide them the tools necessary to be successful in the future”.

Education writer, Mary Ellen Flannery in her article, “When Teachers Take Charge,” claims that teacher-led schools could be a part of the future of education. Teacher-led schools are schools where teachers and educators decide what they want the students to learn and what they want to teach. They work together on everything and collaborate with each other to plan. In the article it states that, “Reiche teachers gladly put in the time because it’s so motivating to see the results for student success.” There are many teachers who do care about their students succeeding which is why teacher-led schools should shape the future of education.

Home assignment #3 Educational system reflect social inequalities. And my analysis include sociological conflict theory like a key. And economical factor that affect educational, professional and social progression. Social conflict theory sees social life as a competition and focuses on the distribution of resources, power, and inequality. Social conflict theory is a macro-oriented paradigm in sociology that views society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change.

Throughout the play, Shakespeare portrays Henry V as a man of great kingly qualities, who can lead a tired and outnumbered group of people to demolish a fresh strong French army on the battlefield of Agincourt. Yet Shakespeare shows the audience a different side to the King, a side where he is portrayed as a ordinary man. One example of this is in Act 4 Scene 1, where Henry has decided to walk around the English camp on the night of the battle of Agincourt in disguise to see what his subjects are saying about him and the battle the nervous night before. This is Dramatic irony, as his soldiers do not recognize him when he is in disguise, also showing that when he is not in front of his men in the king’s clothes and jewels, he is unrecognizable as anything but an ordinary

When standing at a precipice where one must choose between life and death, one must consider: why strive to prosper in life if all individuals are destined to ultimately perish? This is a major focal point in Ecclesiastes, one of the books of the Old Testament. Some of the primary concepts discussed include the vanity of our ambitions and accomplishments since all of mankind will inevitably die; the narrator of Ecclesiastes, who refers to himself at a Teacher, attempts to find pleasure in life, but he eventually declares that the wise and the fools will meet the same fate, which is a great shame. Essentially, the book of Ecclesiastes adopts an unconventional view of life with its nihilistic philosophy. There are many aspects in which Ecclesiastes conveys the futility of life.

On every great sports team, there needs to be a strong foundation of players. All the players need to have a positive mindset and to help encourage others throughout the game. Throughout my years of playing softball, I have come to see the way teams function and the players on the team. The players can range from being the all-star player to the naturally born player and finally to the easy-going player. All the components of a softball team depends on the type of players and the need of every single type of player.

Middle Level Education is a significant essential to adolescence developmental stages, characteristics, and upcoming adulthood. Adolescents are 10 to 15 years old or pre-teens that requires special attention and consideration based on their needs and uniqueness. Middle Level education derived from the Middle School Movement of 1963 when William Alexander mentioned at a conference that educators should consider the interest for a ‘school in the middle.’ His conclusion stated that junior high was not appropriate or specialized enough for instructing and advocating adolescents. The research knowledge of transescence, adolescents’ developmental stages, social diversity, and the elements of developmentally responsiveness impacted as a support for Alexander and other educators’ vision for providing a specific education institution for this age group: the middle school.

In two of Shakespeare's most notable historical plays, namely, Julius Caesar and Henry V it can be observed that the characters with the most power, or the greatest potential to obtain and exploit the power they yield, are also the most idealistic characters in the play. In other words, there is a correlation between the decisional power and influence a character has and the level of idealism with which they see their surroundings. Idealism is the unrealistic belief in or pursuit of perfection. Often, the fall of a play’s tragic hero is due to hubris, however in Julius Caesar it is rather his disproportionate amount of idealism that eventually brings Brutus to downfall. This directly contrasts with Henry V because, although being an idealist

“I’m nervous about school,” I told my mom on the first day of public school in 2012. As a seventh grader, I would attend a middle school in Athens, Texas. Three months later, I had stayed at home for more than two weeks, because of stomachaches from stress. While I had an overall great experience at my public school, I remember times I wanted to never go to school again. Based on my personal experience, I found three major faults in the public education system: the setting, the teaching, and the emotional effect on students.

A teacher is a person who delivers an educational program, assesses student participation in an educational program, and administers or provides consistent and substantial leadership to an educational program. Teachers have the very important responsibility of shaping our generation to become someone one days. A teacher is also an agent for the realization of national educational philosophy which to produce individuals who are balanced in terms of physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and social. Recently, we 've got good news that teacher Yamin was selected among 50 top teachers around the world.
