Father Parent Catholic Schools

The teachers bring their students together as they did a classroom exchange, so students can get a lot from each other and from the schools. Melanie, a smart girl who went to a Public high school, knew what she was capable of, and teachers also saw it in her that she would go off to college, but then she saw the other side which was the private school, while Jonathan also went to a Public school he did not see himself going to college and no teachers thought he would, and he ended up going to college. According to Chana Joffe-Walt, “you go through something to just get turned down there’s a waste to say would you’ve been better off not going to this experience” (“3 miles”). If Melanie would not have gone to the private school, which is the other side, she would have gone to college. As soon as she went to the private school, her way of thinking changed, and she saw herself not going to college anymore. Melanie thinks that she lost her opportunity of going to college just because she saw the other

In 2014, 49.8 million children attended public schools; 4.5 million children attended private schools, with 2 million in Catholic schools according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. A Catholic school is a private school or education ministry of the Catholic Church. On the other hand a public school is a school funded by public funds and taxes. A Catholic education includes religious study combined with mainstream academics. A public education is just a mainstream education with no religious study added into the curriculum. Catholic schools and public schools are different and alike in many ways because of how they run and work, the many pros and cons of both, and the similarities between the two.

I thought the issue with Mark wanting to transfer from GFS to PSD and not being able to because of the academics was troubling to read. I understood the mother’s decision, but I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to have to tell your child that they cannot attend a school with their friends because they have not even come close to the academics that a child has done in the mainstream school. I feel like it would have to be a very hard choice but Mark had a tremendous amount of potential, and it made him a stronger person because of

Step 1: In the case study, “Two Moms”, there are multiple problems brought up. The first problem is Denise, a student with two moms, is getting picked on by her classmates. The second problem is the teacher, Ms. Ribiero, is not sure how to bring up hard topics in her classroom, such as homosexuality, and the different ways families can look. The third problem is the backlash received from the parents.

“…Superintendent James Agostine called to offer an empty school that was a godsend” (Six Months). My thesis relates to this because since they had a plan after this they could get back and rolling with the no academic interruption. The school had many volunteers who helped out to rebuild the community with help from the Red Cross. Without these people helping out and giving food to the victims’ families, the city would have been in chaos with the families being very upset (‘Six Months”). Although people may be mad at the superintendent, it’s not his fault and he wants to help the families and help everyone rebound from this tragic event (Gay). Many parents were furious at the superintendent for not saving their children but he’s in as much pain as they are. Although Sandy Hook shooting was a tragic day in history, society benefitted by better

Based on the Robert F. Kennedy High School case I feel the leadership challenges are very complex having multiple layers. As King pointed out there was no clear leadership. The leadership that was present experienced difficulties with balancing power. The assumed leaders displayed they held more clout and powers over the established leaders. There was open disagreements and lack of communication among the staff which resulted in high tensions. When looking from the human resources frame the staff, administrators and student alike were not getting their needs me. There was problems such as safety concerns that created an atmosphere of fears coupled with administrator staff that was not wanting to provide adequate safety precautions to address

Resurrection Catholic High School is a small private school in the small town of Pascagoula, Mississippi. In total, the school has approximately two hundred and sixty students in grades seven through twelve. Because of its small size, one would think that Resurrection Catholic School would be easy to run, however, that is not the case. There are certainly difficulties that arise in maintaining a small private school. For instance, Resurrection Catholic School, unlike public schools, does not receive equivalent funds or financial support from the state. Therefore, the leader (principal) must have a strong passion for the school, strong leadership skills, and the ability to keep it running smoothly. Unfortunately, Resurrection Catholic School has a principal that lacks many vital leadership qualities and, as a result, the high school is losing its prestige as a college preparatory school. The diminishing reputation has a negative effect on both staff members and students, alike.

The students all took a practice test and only thirty-three percent of the students have passed and the states minimum average is seventy-five percent. Throughout the school year, the students work effortlessly with Mr. Clark along with their school teachers prepare for the real test. Mr. Clark’s crazy and wild antics start to get to the students and they begin to respect him even more for it. They begin to see that he is only doing this with all of their best interests in mind. One of the students who was expelled’s mother complained about the way Mr. Clark ran things at his school and got the mayor involved. After Mr. Clark is found with the chains on the door, which is illegal and a fire safety hazard, and was arrested. All of the students came down to the Board of Education in Paterson and basically protested and ranted on how they wanted Mr. Clark to be released and return to his duties as principal. Eastside High’s assistant principal Mrs. Barrett claims that Mr. Clark was not the right choice to serve as principal of Eastside. But the students all say in rebuttal how Mr. Clark cares for them like no other and how he has done so much good for them that they will not accept anyone besides Mr. Clark. Soon after, Mr. Clark was released and good news was received. More than enough students

According to the author in the introduction of the book, this work was basically intended to serve as a guide for developing moral leadership in schools geared toward superintendents, supervisors, principals, and any other persons at the upper levels of school management. The author's design was to provoke thoughts and raise questions in the minds of these people to help them analyze the leadership processes in their schools and help them make adjustments to the leadership process that will in the end reduce the need for "direct" leadership in favor of "moral" leadership. He

The chapter opens with a case—Robert F. Kennedy High School—depicting the many problems facing David King, the new principal of a deeply troubled urban high school. A school that opened with high hopes only a few years ago now finds itself mired in conflict and dissatisfaction. King’s first meeting with his new administrative staff produces a blow-up in which a male housemaster physically threatens the chair of the English department. By the end of the case, the situation feels overwhelming. Is there hope? The authors follow

Marzano, McNulty and Waters propose five steps for a plan of effective school leadership. The first step is developing a leadership team with purpose. The definition used for a purposeful community is one with the collective efficacy and capability to develop and use assets to accomplish goals that mater to all community members through agreed-upon process (Marzano, et. al, 2005). The second step is distributing some responsibilities throughout the leadership team. The third step is to select the right work. The fourth step is to identify the order of magnitude implied by the selected work. The last step is to match the management style to the order of magnitude of the change initiative. The last step incorporates whether this is first or second order change.

When the limo pulled up to the front of the school and it became obvious that I was the only parent inside, the expression that appeared on the principal’s face had me ready to call my office to find out how qualified the vice-principal was to take her place. It was obvious my soon-to-be ex-wife and her family 's influence gave this woman the impression that their importance was much greater than her ultimate boss. Amana quickly said her goodbyes and pulled me into the limo behind her. My daughter knows how much I like people who look down on me as did her principal just did because her mother wasn’t there with me. I was too upset to have the conversation I knew the two of us had to have much sooner than later.

While listing to Melanie talk about how walking around the grounds of the school and how it made her feel unworthy of being able to achieve her dreams really took me by surprise. When they were writing back and forth to the students at Fieldston, I believe that the teachers purpose was to show the students that yes you are worthy and you are just as smart as these other students that do go to this $43,000/year school. The culture of these two schools had

The next school to present was Floyd C. Fretz Middle School by their principles Mrs. Slaven and Mrs Signor. Overall, Fretz scored an 84.5%. Looking over the information they received from the state, they concluded that the math program was doing well. Mrs. Slaved credited the students for their hard work. In addition to crediting the students, the principle said that the teachers have implemented a new program called HERE. HERE is a program where a teacher “adopts” a student and mentors them whether it is to improve academically or socially. The staff at Fretz feels the program works well with students who are at risk but does not do much for the advanced students. In class we discussed that middle school is a challenging time period for adolescence. I think the program they have implemented will help to greatly ease the challenges students face. In class we

Question: If the duty of educating belongs to the Church. Why there are not free or accessible Catholic Schools for everyone? Most (or at least all the catholic schools that I know) of the Catholic Schools are private schools where the tuition are really expensive and only certain people, who have the economic capacity to support an expense like that, are able to send their kids there. These creates a cycle, where only the rich receive the right tools to succeed, and later they are who can send their children to that type of school. The inaccesible tuition rates exclude poor people from getting quality education. If the Church really think that they are the ones capable to provide excellent education. Then , why don't create schools in poor
