Boarding School Vs Boarding Schools

Having a taste of the history of their culture can help children build a positive cultural identity for themselves. This gives the children a sense of belonging and self-esteem and supports their overall wellbeing (Why). Looking back at ones history can help one shape oneself into more of a person that one wants to be, one can learn from their mistakes and revise ones cultural identity. When children have a strong cultural identity, they are well-placed to make social connections with others and develop a sense of belonging to their community’s cultures are different to their family culture (Why). Having a close-knit school district may have an affect on students and staff. One might have similar thoughts and ideas with their social

The conditions within these boarding schools were often very poor for students. They were underfunded and created on a basis of racism. There were two types of these schools: boarding schools and the mission schools. The boarding schools were

Students nowadays face many challenges when it comes to obtaining a college education. We evaluate an institution’s quality based on what we need the most. The qualities sought out may vary by each person’s personal point of view. However, as a student, I’ve found that most students seek for an institute that benefits them the most. Attending a community college has been an enormous advantage towards my education. I have been attending San Bernardino Valley College for the last two semesters. I have come to respect their philosophies and values. The institution has now been in business for 87 years. They venture to encourage both students and faculty towards high standards of achievement and progress into exceptional members of the society. They now offer a variety of degrees, transfer programs and certificates for a wide range of students. San Bernardino Valley College has an accomplished staff, student support services and technological tools that pave the road towards the conquest of a quality education.

Attending a community college has several benefits such as the low tuition and book fees, smaller classes, and experienced teachers at an affordable cost. In this two year period students also have the time to mature and get serious about their career before they get into the four year institution

Long before Europeans came to North America, The Aboriginal people had a highly developed way of life. This however all changed when the Europeans decided to settle among them. For the Anglophones and the French people of Canada it became more and more evident that something drastic would need to be done in order to fit them into their ideal perception of what it was to be Canadian. With the help of the church the Canadian government implemented the residential school system, which was devoted to providing a disciplined based ideal that promoted rejection of the aboriginal culture in favor of the dominant white population. The residential system would eventually become an official Canadian policy for the education of Indian. Even though

Community college is a great institution for students to start their educational journey. Especially when they do not have the funds or lack some of the prerequisite that a university would require. Community college was created to serve the community, traditional and non-traditional students with the best higher education and lifetime learning opportunities. The faculty and staff members at a community college is there to provide leadership in education while going above and beyond to recognize the needs of the students and the community by providing excellent educational programs and support services that are available to all who have the opportunity to take advantage of them. “Student services now include recruitment and retention, counseling, student activities, student health, financial aid, academic support, career centers, transfer centers, and supplemental services such as transportation, child care, and services tailored for specific populations of students” (Cohen, Brawer, & Krisker, 2014, pg. 209). My philosophy in fulfilling the role and mission of the community college, is to establish the mission, vision, goals and values to guide all students on their journey to strive to become successful both in school and in today’s economy.

Sherman Institute opened its doors in 1902, a century and a half before the birth of Lorene Sisquoc. An off-reservation government boarding school for Indian children, Sherman Institute aimed to rid young American Indians of their languages and cultures. Following the lead of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Supervisor of Indian Schools Estelle Reel, founding Sherman Superintendent Harwood Hall and his staff crafted a curriculum rooted in low expectations for Indian students. Industrial, agricultural, and vocational classes prepared students for lives of domestic service and menial labor. The daily rhythms of non-reservation boarding schools proved to be a shock for many young Indians. Students lived according to a tightly regimented, military-like

All colleges/universities have things in common as well as individual differences which make them all unique in their own way. School preference is based upon each person’s own goals, dreams, and aspirations. Two schools that can be compared are Massasoit Community College and ITT Technical Institute. Before examining the two schools to determine which is the better investment, a brief history of each is outlined to give the reader the advantage of knowing their subjects of comparison before drawing a conclusion. Although there are an abundance of colleges for students to attend, the selection that is subject to comparison is based upon personal experience attending both colleges. The information described is from external resources, such as each college’s Course Catalogs and from personal experience attending the school[s].

Countless numbers of college freshman transfer out after their first year of studies. Many return, some don't. Unfortunately, many of these students felt displaced and found that their expectations were not met by the university they attended. Attending community school gives students the opportunity to earn college credit while taking the time to select the 4-year institution that is right for them. Because there is little financial investment, most students

This research explores how the residential schools established in the 19th century affected the Native population and the Canadian government. This has been done by examining primary sources such as digital archives, books, statistics and reports. Upon examination of these events, it becomes clear that residential schools had a long term negative impact on the Aboriginal communities and created a negative image to the Canadian government. Despite the government’s goals of assimilating the Native population, that nation was able to survive and will keep passing on their beliefs to the future generations.

Although I went to Golden West Community College and Rancho Alamitos High School, they both have differences in camaraderie, campus aesthetics, and how it’s functionally ran. Golden West Community College is more difficult in building fellowship whereas Rancho Alamitos High School is more open to comradeship. Golden West is a larger campus and more funded, unlike Rancho Alamitos which is less funded and has a smaller campus. Also, Rancho insists in following rules, being told what to do. On the other hand, Golden West expects you to be responsible, not being told what to do. Golden West is a learning environment in which you think through and apply what you’ve learned; however, Rancho Alamitos is a teaching environment in which you acquire

Through what I observed, I believe that the program was appropriate for the students in the class. One main focus in the class, other than academics, was to prepare the students for life after high school. These life skills included personal hygiene,

Indian boarding schools were established in the late 1800s as a way to assimilate Native Americans into the dominate society. The idea is that if an American Indian can farm, communicate with English, and rid themselves of their traditional ways then they can seek the America dream. A great deal of policies have been passed to gear Native Americans towards non-Native ways, but the practice that had a profound effect was the focus on Native American children. Indian boarding schools were develop by the federal government and religious organizations to assimilate the Native American children into the dominate culture (Brave Heart, Yellow Horse, & DeBruyn,

Currently there are 72 Indian boarding schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, serving over 10,000 students in the United States. These boarding schools have not tried to understand Indian communities, culture or learning styles. American Indian students attending Indian boarding schools related that they suffer from loss of cultural identity and experience their schools as imposed systems. Conversely, a number of Native Americans believe that Indian boarding schools are better than they were 25 years ago. There is a broader recognition of diversity, more compassion for students, a greater openness to talk about problems in the Indian boarding school environments, and more intelligence and sensitivity about how to guide rather than

A boarding school is commonly perceived as an establishment for rich families to send their kids to for schooling and discipline. The children sent to these pricey institutions are expected to come out molded into young adults ready to move onto an ivy league college. It is apparent this is not always the case as observed in Holden Caulfield in the novel Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Boarding schools while expensive, can have numerous advantages as well as disadvantages to different types of students, as in Holden Caulfield.
