Argumentative Essay On Small Class Size

As said in the article The Secret To Fixing Bad Schools “students need to become thinkers not test takers. ” They should be able to take more classes they are interested in rather than classes they need just for graduation required credits. Schools need to have more academic achievement appreciation rather than only appreciating the athletic students. Although Bostein points out America’s education system seems to be the main issue in preparing our children for the future, he is a bit too extreme with this ideas.

Education is defined in the Benokraitis’ Soc 3, Third Ed. textbook as, “A social institution that transmits attitudes, knowledge, beliefs, values, norms, and skills to its members through formal systematic training.” Yet despite the many essential benefits that education offers, “only 34% of Americans have a lot of confidence in our public schools.”

With both the student and teacher having three less classes a day cuts down on stress. It also cuts down on the homework load for the student. Teenagers have a lot of responsibilities. Many high school students find it hard to manage their time and balance all of their activities. Many are involved with work, sports, bands, clubs, and many other activities.

Personally, I really enjoy the sizes of the classes. I have never had a class with over twenty-five students in it. Brebeuf doesn 't shy too far away from twenty-five. I also thought the way the “free blocks,” were set up was interesting. I thought it was neat how the student got to choose what they were going to do with that time.

College tuition needs to be lowered because students should not be stressed, in debt, and out of time trying to catch up with his or her payments. In recent years, the soaring costs of college tuition have left many students and parents questioning how they will come up with the necessary funds. While college is still a smart investment for a successful career path, the cost of an education has outgrown general inflation by almost double, leaving many families unable to pay it or having a large amount of debt. The best

Is College Really Worth It? Paula Scarborough Brenau University EH101 Professor Whelan March 18, 2017 A thorough evaluation of the higher education evidently reveals that there are diverse factors that need to re-evaluate as suggested by Charles Murray. Although the facts are based upon a misinterpretation of what colleges entails in the essence that they are not substantially equipping graduates with the necessary life skills hacks. Instead of cultivating capable individuals in the society, college’s distinct purpose has been to equip skillful graduates into diverse careers they wish pursue.

Every year college prices dramatically increase. People are constantly debating with themselves whether college is worth the cost or not. Since the cost of college is constantly increasing its harder for people to keep up with the cost. Although the price of a college education continuously increases, it is worth the cost since college graduates make more income and become more successful than high school graduates. A solution to this problem is for colleges to stop making students spend extra money to turn colleges into a “country club”, and for colleges to focus on education not “country clubs”.

Getting rid of these classes could potentially cause teachers to lose their job and students would consequently be losing money they could have saved for college. In many circumstances these students may not get other opportunities to show off their skills if these classes were not offered. Removing elective classes would decrease the social skills of students and take away something they enjoy as well as taking away all the potential benefits thet would have recieved. Students take classes that peak their interest; thus, by taking these classes, students are able to make friends with similar interest. However, some claim that removing electives would allow students to focus more on school instead of work instead of socializing.

In “Who Are You and What Are You Doing Here?” , Mark Edmundson suggests that the typical college experience may not be providing the best education for the student. However, Edmundson reasons, that if the student is willing to take a stand against the flow of college students, professors, and administrative staff that treat their college class time as a side job the student will be able to receive a true education worth the thousands and thousands of dollars they paid. The graduates will have a knowledge of what skills they possess and be confident in the type of career they want  to have which will lead to better mental and physical life down the road.    

Many student would be kept on waiting lists and it would cause a lot more chaos. It’s just like Michele Siqueiros explained, “Affordability doesn't help if a student can’t get into the right class or find help figuring out what classes to take.” CSU and university campuses already off a large amount of space for students to find what they need. They offer a variety of classes already as well as help and support to guide you through your college

Students should not be allowed to select their own classes because they would just pick the classes with friends in them not the classes they need to learn. Students would just pick classes to be with their friends and would just mess around all day instead of actually learning. “Subjects are introduced at school level so that students learn about the importance of each subject and the role it plays in our day to day activities(science, maths, history,geography etc).” (Vipul Agawane, Quora.)Students should not be allowed to select their own classes because they would just pick the classes with friends in them and no the classes that they actually need to learn. Schools could easily fix the problem of students choosing classes with friends in them by adding more than one teacher teaching that subject and by picking the students in each class randomly.

Throughout the essay, Charles Murray stresses the idea that college is the wonderland of finding oneself and to find the career that one would want to follow for the rest of their lives. “College is seen as the open sesame to a good job and a desirable way for adolescents to transition to adulthood. Neither reason is as persuasive as it first appears.” Murray, C (2008) Practically spoken, this is not normally the case. College is a fair amount of work, much more work than one would normally acquire through any course of a high school or secondary school setting.

We as a society are manipulated by the idea that a college education will fix all of our problems and allow us to pursue a successful life. In the essay “College In America” by Caroline Bird mentions that a college education is not the best choice for all high school graduates because it leads to the assumption that a college education is the only possible way to establish one’s identity in society. Although college is the staple after graduating high school not all sustain the qualities it takes to succeed in the intellectual work given and some career fields do not have a connecting relationship to a college education reminding us that even though these claims are based in the 1970s it is still relevant in today’s society.

They are then forced to try to control the class which they are unable to do without disciplinary actions, making it way harder to teach. Class management is important because teachers will have more teaching time and it’s a time for relationship building. Stopping behavioral interruptions will allow more time to teach. Class management will also create a positive learning environment where students can state their own opinions without others bashing them for it.

It is essential that younger generations receive a quality education. Children all over the United States of America are being deprived of their schooling. Not all schools receive equal funding. Kids who grow up in less wealthy areas are less likely to receive a good education. Children are being set up for failure. They 're funding is based on the wealth of the area they live in. Kids who might have excelled in certain areas with the right tutoring will never get the opportunity to without the proper funding. This is a shame to see talent going to waste. Think of all of the possibilities that these children could have created for the world with the right education. The United States has to invest in the youth. Keep the chain going to better the standard of life. That 's what the future is all about. We must improve on our previous generations to make the world a better place to live in. The United States must rehaul the out of date education system to compete with other top nations to give children an opportunity to education with equal funding so they can learn to the best of their ability.
