Olny Elementary School

Elementary and middle school years (6-12) are Erikson’s fourth stage in which the child must resolve the crisis between industry and inferiority. During this stage, a child becomes more aware of themselves as individuals. It is important that a child learn the feeling of success; if not allowed enough success, they might develop a sense of inferiority or incompetence. Again, it is about the balance of industry and inferiority that leads to competence both intellectually and socially. Despite the fact that the Welsh school administration placed Jeannette in classes for students with learning disabilities, she knows she is smart. She was in honors classes in Phoenix and continues to excel academically under the guidance of her parents. She reads on her own and understands that education is important. Despite her placement in the lower classes and not having any close friends, she is able to develop a sense of industry.

Connecting education with good experiences will allow a child to feel secure at school and realise their full potential.

As children start school he learns more than reading, writing, and math. School is where they learn to give and take with children that they aren’t as familiar with. As Staff states “relating with peers according to the rules” (2011). Children learn that not everyone will have the same rules as their parents have. Especially if their mom is a stay at home mom they learn to do what another person in authority. Preschoolers play like they want they often make their own rules, as grow older they learn to play games that have rules that they need to follow (Staff 2011). And of course with growing older comes responsibility. As the child enters kindergarten and first grade it is expected that they will gain a certain amount of knowledge. Elementary school was hard for me. I struggled through it. I guess I would fit into Erikson’s theory of Industry versus Inferiority. I don’t remember how old I was when I was inferior but I do remember struggling with it. I think that personality can play in there sometimes. So far I’ve been pretty close to Erikson’s

The Piaget's stage theory of cognitive development is also known as the stage theory. It introduces that, in the expansion of our thinking, we act through an organized and certain sequence of steps. However, the theory focuses not only on compassionate how the children obtain knowledge, but likewise on the discernment of the substance of intelligence. According to the Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, there are two stages in the thinking pattern of a 3-year old preschooler and 9-year-old student. They are the preoperational stage for the 2 to 7 year old and the concrete operations stage for the 9 year old. The preoperational stage (three years old preschooler), this is where a new child can intellectually perform and signify to the objects and issues with the quarrel or the images, and they can act. The concrete operations (nine year old student), where a child is at the stage and deliver the ability to maintain, reserve their thinking, and analyze the objects in conditions of their many parts. However, they can also assume logically and understand comparison, but only about the concrete events.

The first day of school is a book just opened with the story yet to unfold. My story starts in a new unfamiliar place. It was intimidating to walk into the halls of Larned High School. Coming from a school of 80 students to a school of over 300 students was a massive change.

Houston Elementary School is a small school in a rural area. Many of its students are stricken with poverty, and find it a struggle to cope with day to day life. Teachers and staff do their best to aid the students in this however they can. They modify their instructional methods to where students feel comfortable, they provide food for the students to take home over the weekend, and they do their best to ensure that every student is being cared for.

Have you ever wondered what a good school looks like? The physical and human geography of Stafford Middle School is manageable. For instance one of the major physical features is that the hallways are quite small, also the culture is very diverse, and finally the interaction among the students shows that they are quite engaged.

In 1910, when this school was first open, many students throughout the United States still attended classes in one-room schoolhouses. Aside from the one-room schoolhouse in Marshwood, Olyphant had progressed beyond that stage. This building was the centerpiece of the Olyphant School District. It had the look of a high school in a major city. At the time all of the streets in downtown Olyphant were paved with red brick. Most of the students lived within walking distance of the school. They were able to walk home to eat lunch. Therefore, no one ever thought of including a cafeteria in the building plans. It was built without a cafeteria or kitchen of any kind.

The last stage is the Formal operational stage. This stage is for ages eleven and up. This is the stage when thoughts are better conserved, more logical and more thought out. More hypothetical thinking occurs in this stage.

School has been a part of the lives of billions of people for millennia. Educational systems are constantly evolving and taking on different forms throughout the world, yet schools across the globe seem to have held on to one similar purpose throughout the centuries. This purpose is to prepare young minds for success in the real world by building a foundation of knowledge in their student’s minds. While this is certainly a noble purpose, not all schools achieve this goal as successfully as they ought to. The high school in Little River, KS is just one example of how pure intentions can still lead to poor methods and thus a hampering of students potential. Put simply, the Little River school district should allow their high school students to

Adlai E. Stevenson High School is a public high school located in Lincolnshire in Illinois which belongs to district 125 and servers the communities of Lincolnshire, Prairie View, Long Grove, and some parts of Vernon Hills, Lake Forest, Lake Zurich, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Wheeling, Mundelein, Indian Cree, Riverwoods, Kildeer, Palatine and Mettawa. Students who live in district 125 can be enrolled at Stevenson High School. Stevenson offers its service, in 2015/2016 school year, to 3,906 students. The student body is approximately, White 66.2%, Asian 21.9%, Hispanic 7.1%, Two or More Races 2.7%, Black 1.8%, American Indian 0.2%, Pacific Islander 0.1%. 6.2% of the students are with some disabilities. 0.1% students come from low-income

“You can’t cross the ocean by just standing and staring at the water” A man named R. Tagore said that. This quote has many meanings. Only two of them matter right now. When Mr. Tagore said those words he was saying that people have to be prepared. He was also saying that people can do very great things but they can’t just sit around and expect them to happen. They have to be prepared. That’s how these two things go together. Being prepared goes hand in hand with what Chelsea should do to make our schools and the kids in them be more prepared. The city should expand Chelsea Middle School’s store. This would make children more prepared and when they are prepared, kids can do amazing things.

According to Erik Erikson (1963), “The child’s danger, at this stage, lies in a sense of inadequacy and inferiority. If he despairs of is tools and skills of this status among his tool partners, he may be discouraged from identification with them and with a section of the tool world” (p. 260). The challenge in this stage is, when children are not able to grasp their school work or other activities, they may develop feelings of failure and inferiority. Joan Erikson (1966) also explains, “The hitch is that without and the skills that society respects, the young person is apt to feel ineffective, useless, or discouraged” (p.93). In that stage of my life, I encountered a feeling inferior. One day my stepmother asked me to keep an eye on my little

Erik Erikson founded the psychosocial stages of development in which he believed there were 8 stages. Erikson felt that the Industry vs. Inferiority stage (5-12) was a critical time for elementary age children, as this was time to gain recognition from teachers and peers. During this stage, children are encouraged to try new things and are acknowledged for their accomplishments; resulting in increased self-confidence. My parents did their best to raise my brother and me, but due to circumstances with my dad’s work, we moved around a lot. This meant I was always the “new kid” in school. When I was eight years old, my parents decided to homeschool my brother and me, which resulted in us not benefiting from the social interaction with teachers and peers. I think this may be a reason that both my brother and I were not able to master this stage leading to feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem.

High school was hard for me, just like it can be for any awkward teenager. Most people would say it can be hard because they had to move to a new school, or did not have many friends. It was hard early on for me because I did not know exactly where I fit in. I felt out of place just by being in the school building. I eventually found my place in high school outside of sports, on the academic team, and in FFA.
