Challenges Facing Our Education Institution At Whitehorse High School Essay

New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The borough that I reside in is Brooklyn. Brooklyn has approximately 2.592 million people inhabiting this district and approximately 23.4 percent of individuals who reside in Brooklyn, NY come from a low-income household or in other words come from poverty. With catholic and private schools being expensive, people have to rely on the education system to provide their children with a good education. In this paper I will be discussing the public school education system ranging solely up to high school in Brooklyn New York and giving a general idea of the New York education system as well.

Today, education enables us to enlarge our knowledge and open doors for opportunities to the path of having a good future. In the five readings, each written by a different author, there was a lesson learned and something to take away from each one. Reading through the passages by Mann, Moore, Malcolm X, Gatto, Rose, and Anyon, each author contributed his or her point of view on general public education. This topic can be very argumentative depending on the quality of education people receive. Education today is the single most important mean for individuals to achieve their personal goals in the workforce.

In recent years, the Arizona education department has been under fire after the Arizona legislature passed a law banning Mexican-American studies in schools (Planas, 2015, p. 1). Not only have the schools in Arizona suffered from this discriminatory law, but also the advancement of Mexican-American students. This essay will briefly go over the Tucson Unified School District, the district in the midst of the controversy, and will mainly focus on Pueblo Magnet High School, one of the schools in the Tucson Unified School District that was greatly affected by the ethnic studies law.

The American public educational system is filled with an assortment of problems. Most students are graduating with less knowledge and capability than similar students in other industrialized countries. Classroom disruptions are surprisingly common, and in some classrooms, nearly continuous. The public education system is having difficulty adjusting to the no child left behind act. The No Child Left Behind(NCLB) is a landmark in education reform designed to improve student achievement and change the culture of American’s schools.

I will start with the schools. I had the pleasure of talking to two administration individuals and one former teacher/coach. According to Assistant Superintendent Marsh Worthington, this is an area were the school is the weakest. Mrs. Worthington says, “that the district has a total

Finally and foremost, school districts need to get rid of tenure. It is absolutely insane to allow a teacher to have absolute job security no matter how badly they perform. If a teacher can teach they will always have a job. Tenure does not protect high performing teachers as it was intended to do instead it protects low performing teachers. This is vital in getting rid of horrible teachers like Mrs. Eicher who is immune to job loss as a result of how long they have worked at the school.

EGALE Canada Human Rights Trust, is Canada’s only national charity that advocates LGBT human rights in Canada. EGALE released in 2011 the First Report on the National Climate Survey on homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia in Canadian schools, that assessed the opinions of 3700 students (LGBT and non-LGBT) all over Canada (Taylor et al. 2011). The survey began in 2007 and concluded in 2009 (Taylor et al. 2011). The report’s results proved that the two most unsafe spaces for LGBT students were physical education change rooms and washrooms (Taylor et al. 2011). In fact, 43% of LGBT students thought their school washrooms were unsafe, 41% of students with LGBT parents thought the washrooms at their schools were unsafe and 28% of Non-LGBT students agreed (Taylor et al. 2011).

Even after all of this mistreatments, we have explained how we felt towards our school policies and education. However, our grievances have been ignored. We have been open enough to follow school rules but these have to change. We can't keep on moving forward with ridiculous policies that should have a second choice or opinion. We are announcing that we will improve our schools with these new Grievances and make it work.

Now on to the requirement for the Board of Ed Policy. First let’s focus on the 1st part of the policy that says that the material must, “enrich and support the curriculum”. From my understanding the curriculum is based on the three questions, what is the impact of the legacy of slavery on America?, How has/is justice implemented in America?, How does change happen in this government? The book doesn’t focus on the third question, so I’ll talk about the 1st and 2nd questions. While the book does talk a lot about the fight for Civil Rights, our class, (which may be different than some other classes), doesn’t go that into detail about lynching, except for the Murder of Emmett Till. The book does, however, show the impact of slavery on America

Participating in this assignment provided me much new insight into the general subject of the management of school funds. From reading the audit, I learned that I could get a fair, professional view of my school district’s financial standing. I can see now how going through the process of an audit and reading the results and recommendations can only help the administration, and thus the school. It makes sense that our school board and administration base many of their financial decisions off of our audits because they give a true and fair view of the school’s financial status. Plus, I learned how our school can use this information to correct any deficiencies,

One thing that is a for certain in education is changes will take place. Education mirrors the world we live in, and that is, change is inevitable. However, this process is not always accepted by the entire staff of a school and may be found burdensome to others. As a teacher leader, when certain changes in the school take place regarding a rule, the entire staff needs to come together to ensure the rule is being implemented and enforced. One such change that is happening at my school is the once a week mandatory meeting of all PLC teams. The decision to implement mandatory PLC meetings did not go over well with all teachers. When a school makes a rule or policy change, there are parts of the organization, such as the political, human resource, and cultural perspective that feel the effect.

Education and learning are important in today's society. It seems America has a wonderful education system, but if we think deeply, we can figure out that most part in American education is broken. This is a sad truth that the educational system is not working as is supposed to be. Now it becomes messy and it mostly became a business place where money matters. And people should do something to improve it again. This paper will continue to discuss on education in the United States based on the videos depicting the broken education system, the Common Core, and Dan Rather's analysis of the Detroit Education system.

The Woodson Foundation, a large nonprofit social service agency, is teaming up with the public school system in Washington, D.C, to improve student outcomes. It appears the schools have problems with truancy, low student performance and crime. The teachers are discouraged to help students due to the disrespect and behavioral issues in the classroom. The turnover rate for the best teachers is high, they tend to leave and go to schools that aren’t as troubled (629).

America is a blessed country in numerous ways, and its citizens reap the benefits. Free education is one major benefit that not many other countries provide for their citizens. While it is only a privilege to many, but in the States, people have the right to be educated. However, free education cannot be translated to success for all. For those motivated ones who cherish the privilege to be educated are those who climb up the success ladders later in life. For a certain majority of students in the States, our current educational system may not seem to serve its purpose. In this paper, I will explore two possible adjustments that could be made to improve our system to benefit our next generation. Academic improvement and class size

The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and
