Grading System Pros And Cons

Should the grading system be changed? Are grading students on tests, homework, quizzes, etc. actually beneficial to students? Do receiving grades truly help students to understand the material that is being taught? What it comes down to is the question of how effective is the grading system and should it be challenged? Many people believe that grades are necessary as well as beneficial to students’ education rather than a burden to it.

Playing with blocks, coloring, naps, and sidewalk chalk. All fond memories of life in pre-k. For most, preschool is a time of fun and games and making your first friends. There is a lot of evidence showing children should be sent to preschool but many aren 't getting the opportunity. Thankfully, there are many options. “Kids should be going to pre-k because it helps kids prepare for the social, academic, and emotional demands of Kindergarten.

Starting to really care for a good grade at a young age matters. But what some school boards don 't notice it that individual grades are going down. Sure many schools have the smart honor roll kids, but behind that are a bunch of D’s and F’s students. “The importance of physical fitness in the development of cognitive and memory skills have long been extolled by scientists. Cardiorespiratory capacity, muscular strength, and motor ability are components of physical fitness that have been known to improve mental health” (Iyer 1).

Allan Bloom advances a controversial thesis in his book The Closing of the American Mind. Bloom postulates that the American educational system is failing today’s students by perpetuating moral relativism while neglecting the “great books”. The great books for Bloom include those of Plato, Aristotle, etc. These books are considered great works of western thought as they approach questions of culture and morality and believe there is a correct answer. Contemporary American society no longer seeks answers to these questions as moral relativism destroyed the existence of an answer.

Head Start is a federal funded program for children between ages three to five who are underprivileged and come from low income families. A child’s mind when they first go to school is rapidly developing and at school teachers are responsible for guiding their students and helping them develop throughout the school year. If a child gets a bad teacher they can’t develop like they are suppose to. For many low income families public schools are their only option and before Head Start public schools didn’t really have a good preschool option. If a child attended preschool it regularly costed money and poor, low income families couldn’t afford to send their children to a private preschool.

The author gives an understanding as to why these thoughts were vital works of ethical rehearses, and why inappropriate custom of standardized test outcomes would no longer exist, or at least be evaded. He shades some light on the practice of standardized tests as an individual portion of a scholar’s theoretical growth and enactment is challenging at its’ highest and unethical at

B) Explicit vs. implicit correction In explicit correction the student is provided with the correct form or a suggestion what the error is, whereas implicit treatment of errors aims at actively involving the learners in the process of identifying and correcting their own errors. Implicit corrective practices in written communication involve, simple underlining, marginal description, encircling, writing comments on the margins (Hashimoto, 2004 and Corpuz 2011), after which students have to locate and correct errors themselves (Hadla, 2006), or the use of correction codes. The technique of Error Correction Code involves underlining the mistakes and providing a correction code that includes symbols and abbreviations to indicate the nature of the error, for instance, ‘the teacher may use the symbol “Sp” to refer to “wrong spelling”, “WW” for “wrong word” (Wang, 2010:194) or the symbol // to indicate that a new line or paragraph is needed. The Error Correction Code has a double focus: to inform the L2 student that an error has been made and inform on the kind of error made (Hendrickson, 1984).

I believe human cloning interferes with nature in ways humanity will not be able to handle. This source states, " This could lead to a set of problems that we have no ability to handle. " The evidence suggests that human cloning can lead to the fall of humanity, due to clones becoming soverienty. However, some people believe that human cloning can be useful, due to assisting with unlawful interests. I beleive that this will only create misuse of knowledge in trying to correct clones in right paths.

Even though some people value hate speech, in my eyes it should be censored on campus because hate speech is insensitive, can cause riots, and does not encourage equality. One of the reasons why hate speech should be censored is because racist comments are insensitive and a few people will take it more personal than others. When judgements are being made such as racist remarks to certain

What is/are your approach/approaches to this lesson, please explain your approach? Teaching the lesson on characters viewpoint, I used the bottom-top approach to help students understand what they were looking for when describing the viewpoint of a character. When starting the lesson, I had the student explain to me what is a character and how can the reader know who is the main character. Once students were able to define a character, we changed the discussion to thinking of how every character is different. Students were able to successfully describe to why characters in a story each character is acts or thinks different.

The Head Start program is a free preschool for low income families who are disadvantaged. The Head Start program is in question in regards to its success in preparing children for future school success. In the article titled “How should we Interpret the Evidence about Head Start?” by Janet Currie claims “It is one of the most successful known interventions for poor children”. She claims Head Start is associated with being low quality, however, there are positive results that are surprising to the skeptics. She continues to argue that Head Start is operating at a local level and are held at high standards.

My love for children drove me to complete Early Childhood courses 1-4 and earn my Child Development Associate (CDA) in high school. My Early Childhood teacher says that I am very talented when working with young children. The way I see it, children are the world’s future leaders and I’m very honored to be the one guide them through their preschool years. With my CDA, I am able to get a job as a Preschool teacher anywhere in the U.S. Although Early Childhood has an immense significance in my life, I would not want to pursue a career in this field.

The New York Times article, Stuyvesant Students Describe the How and the Why of Cheating, written by Vivian Yee, primarily focuses on the reasons why students choose to cheat. These answers all come from alumni of Stuyvesant High School. They each give a unique perspective on the issue of cheating, as well as giving their own moral justification for cheating on a test. Three main reasons why students are found to cheat, as seen through interviews conducted by the author herself are, the lack of respect for material being taught, and cheating due to a harsh competitive environment. In order to refute these rationalizations behind cheating the methods of cheating will be taken into consideration.

At some point in our lives, I'm sure everyone has had some experience, whether on a sports team, group school project, or other group activity where the workload has not been equally carried and frustrations arise. It is common in these situations to have one person who is left carrying the responsibilities of others, but in the end, sees the grade and recognition they worked for go to those who contributed little to nothing. The frustrations that would arise from this situation can also be reflected on a larger scale at times you might experience later on in life. Imagine you were a surgeon who had studied and trained to get to where you are professionally.
