Educational Achievement Gap Causes

This is just plain stupid as a matter of policy” (Germain). This quote is important because it relates to students not learning well because of issues at home or medical reasons. To explain, it talks about children with disabilities or who are homeless or something along those lines aren’t going to learn as well as other students. If teachers have these students in their class then they aren’t going to get paid very much from them.

This can affect them in the long goal, they will have a low self-esteem about theirselves and this can even lead up to suidcide. Why pretend that schools in the United States are a good support. When bullying occurs in all the schools. People are so cold hearted that bulling, a student for not having his parents is most likely to

This means that the school benefits from every student that has social responsibility. In Hoffman Estates High School, few students and teachers tolerate each other even though it’s very diverse. Hoffman Estates High School is a successful school but could improve on social responsibility so that students are more actively involved in resolving conflicts and to have more tolerance to diversity between students and staffs. These are some of the reasons why students need to have social responsibility as it plays a huge role in having a positive school culture and success. Social

Being taught this at such a young, impressionable age is one of the fundamental causes as to why we view failure so negatively. Nevertheless, we should view failure as an opportunity for an individual to receive feedback on what they did well, and aspects that can be improved. In my opinion when society tells a student to be frightful of failure that we inhibit their growth as an individual. Early with students who exhibit a continuous habit of failure tend to be alienated from their peers. A majority of parents believe their child 's report card is indicative of academic achievement in class, however, due to the grade inflation crisis that hinders a multitude of schools today, I believe using a student’s grade should not be a measure of a student’s success.

A functionalist would say that labels are necessary within the educational system, because it separates individuals and social classes. Therefore, the students that are labeled as dumb or slow will take up the jobs in society that the intellectuals or elite should not, because they are focused on the advanced careers and maintaining society intellectually. In contrast, a conflict theorist would say that this is inequality and every student should have a fair chance at education without a bias from an authority figure that should be mentoring these students. They would imply that social

Waiting for Superman?, a film that tells a story of the public school system in the United States and how it is failing our children. The film follows several parents who are trying desperately to get their children into some of the best charter schools in hopes that they may secure a better future for them, most of which whom fail, due to a lottery system that is in place for admission, and are left to their demise.

Many studies have shown that that is an important factor in the learning process, so if they do not feel engaged, not much will be meaningful for them. In most cases, boring and monotonous lessons are the main reason. Tired and unhappy teachers have caused a negative impact on this new generation. It is not acceptable that a child suffers every time he has to go to school. That is why I want to apply for a Fulbright Scholarship and go for the learning and teaching program.

The code is so strict that it gives no room for exceptions, which can ruin a student 's educational career if on a prime scale. In a survey of honor codes, 4 out of 7 did not have easy access to the honor code. In some cases It was hard to find on the homepage (Wade). If the schools expect the students to follow the honor code shouldn’t they have an easy access to it? Students should be able to view the honor code whenever they want to guarantee that they are not breaking any rules.

This can happen because some teachers label their students and tell them to their face; or the student realizes it. The student then creates a self-fulfilling prophecy for themselves and lives up to it. This is a major reason why we see students not listening to teachers, skipping class, and getting into bad things. These deviant students are only being, and continuing to be deviant because their teacher always has that label on them. Lazy, unmotivated, behavior problem, slow learner are just some examples of what teachers label their students in the classroom.

One thing that parents need to understand which is also implied in The secret to raising smart kids by S.Carol Dweck, that sometimes parents discourage their own children. Sometimes the parents expect too much, and give them nothing for them to grip on or hold onto this long rope of anxiety and paranoia. It may seem like an exaggeration but what I say is nothing but the truth since I live in a strict household, which is aside from the point of course. There has to be an understanding that students will make mistakes, that I don 't doubt. All a (Anaheim) student needs is a little encouragement from family or teachers, anyone really that will

While this may impact those kids that are focused on, the other kids are pushed aside on the back burner. The main reason behind this is that teachers are forced to have their students reach a certain level of success by standards set by the nation and their bosses. The number of tests that students have to take removes their ability to be creative and have an opinion. Bronwyn Williams expresses this when she says, “Standardized testing, to be standardized, must create questions that leave no room for interpretation…allow for no independent meaning making from students.” (154).

Would the honor Code really be worth all the examples of division among student body and faculty that I talked about. The answer is No, it wouldn’t be, because Fairmont Heights need a balance and it has it. Students keep to themselves and let other students do their own thing and deal with their own problems. The balance is key to the continuation of Fairmont Heights social order and without it, things would be much worse in the the eyes of students like

Many issues, such as poverty, unemployment, domestic violence and other variations of it, high crime rates, drug abuse, and pollution, could be eliminated if our education system was to be enhanced. Unfortunately, the system has failed to maintain relevant and engaging, that it has become disorganized and counterproductive. I’m sure most people can agree that schoolwork consists of a lot of filler tasks and has failed to inform the significance and opportunities that the lesson contains. The school has become heavily infatuated with testing and test scores beyond any reasonable measure; shouldn’t schools be about on actual education and not testing? There also seems to be a lack of essential Home Economic classes, classes that should teach students how to be a responsible adults by teaching them how to sew, their basic human rights, not only how to use a condom but what to do when they want a child (how to parent), how to care of their own health and others’, politics, financial advice, and basic first aid.

With mass learning regulations the government mandated programs make the students feel like they must obey orders to succeed in college or a working environment. “The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don’t know how to be submissive, and so on-- because they’re dysfunctional to the institutions.” School can feel as though the student is becoming submissive to a plan they had never signed up for; working towards a goal that the student had never planned on achieving can make them lose interest and become increasingly unmotivated. Schooling should be based around programs that encourage enjoyment and stimulation to the brain (Chomsky

Educational Self-Analysis As students the people who we surround ourselves with have a profound effect with our motivational level. Our surroundings can emotionally impact our life for the better or worse. By reading the article “Brainology” by Carol Dweck has also showed me the mindset I have and reflect on the way I view education. like most Parents, my Parents want to see me succeed in school since they did not have the chance to do so themselves.
