Personal Info : The Education System

“Protecting one of our most fundamental rights- the freedom to read- means respecting each other’s differences and the right of all people to choose for themselves, what they and their families read.” So, how is it that boards of education are the ones making decisions on books? Which ones should be censored? What right do they have to do so? The boards are not the ones who should be held accountable for what books children and adolescents absorb; this is primarily the responsibility of parents.

Consequences have to be set for those students that get involved in bad behaviors. As leaders this take a lot of creative thinking to where students can really learn from their mistakes, this helps the students make the decision that they don’t want to do them anymore. Constant OSS days doesn’t affect students nowadays, so coming up with a program for the constant offenders to help them get back focused on what is important.

The school district feels these students are unable to use the books because the teachers think the students will destroy them. This brings up one of many claims, which happens to be that education is falling the students. The school pays very little attention to these students, and this is one of the reasons why they drop out and don’t graduate. The students’ know that no one cares about their education so they don’t try to do well in school. If the system were to appreciate the kids, they would have a different view on learning how to gain education. Another claim would be, hardships at home are affecting the lifestyle of these students. Some of these students aren’t appreciated by their family members, and face horrible tragedies, which causes violence within each student.

According to the American Library Association, the most common group of people, challenging a book being read in schools, was the parents of the students. Parents have a right to be in charge of what is put into the minds of their students, however just because one parent objects does not mean that the whole school should ban the book from the list. A solution for this book would be to enforce parental consent for books to be read in the classroom. If a parent does not want a book to be read in the classroom, then there should be other options for the student to read. The school and teacher should not trespass on a parent’s rights of raising their child. I believe that if a parent has a concern, they should go and discuss the problem with the teacher so that the teacher will be able to defend their reasoning for choosing the book to be read in the classroom.

Who should choose the books for the class to read, teachers or students? I support the decision to let students pick the reading for next school year. The first reason is that students will be more focused on the book because they like it. Next, students will get good grades because they have actually read it. Lastly, they understand it more because they picked their level.

There are many valuable aspects to living in a diverse community, but the most valuable to me is the wide range of perspectives on world problems, and local situations. With a more diverse student body, People will bring new insights and ideas that others may not have thought of. It can also educate people about cultures, traditions, and backgrounds other than my own. This can be very helpful because with the knowledge of another culture,

Parents should have the right to decide what their child reads, but should not have the right to decide what is right for other children to read because not all parents have the same view on what is appropriate for their child to learn in school; as Jones stated, we must all respect each other’s differences. Educators should also be able to freely decide on what they feel is appropriate for their students to read. If a teacher chooses a book that has caused concerns in the past, they should alert the student’s parents of

Teachers could spank or whip the students or sit them in the corner if they misbehaved.

Another policy which could fix the current punishment policies in schools is the Restorative Justice system which focuses on improving the student-teacher relationship and the overall classroom environment because this would help keep the students content and safe. When a student is satisfied with the environment of the classroom, they will be more willing to be involved and engaged in classroom activities. This is why, Teasley feels it is important to focus on restoring the mutual respect in schools and have students take responsibility for their actions (Teasley). When a student has a respectable relationship with their instructor, or any adult figure for that matter, they will be more inclined to be obedient. They will also be more willing to learn and to be more affable to their superiors.

I believe that KMS should use the punishment policy because it helps with the students academics, helps students concentrate in class, and lastly it teaches kids to have manners. The punishment policy helps students do better in class, focus in class, and teaches the students to have manners. This policy would really help KMS organize the

But I think otherwise, I believe that students should have the opportunity to read the book. Students should be open to new book to read everyday. They should be able to go find any book and be able to read that book without someone telling them that they can’t. All students should have the opportunity to read any book at anytime during the school year. Their teacher shouldn't tell them that they cannot read the book because the district doesn't want them to. It only wouldn't be fair to the student as for the rest of the school. People have their own opinions and their one person’s opinion could be very powerful. One parent could change the way that their child learns because they don't like the way that they are teacher them. They could go tell the school board and have them change the way that they teach their son or daughter in school. They could change what books that they read or what teacher that they have. All kids should have an equal opportunity to read any book that he or she

This idea is equally as important in the school system. Creating an accountability system in which both teachers and students are held accountable for their performance is key for organizational success. Reeves (2005) states “first an accountability system must be congruent” or attuned with the district current reward or incentive programs (p.93). An effective accountability system should include the following seven principles listed by Reeves: (1) congruence, (2) respect or diversity, (3) accuracy, (4) specificity, (5) feedback for continuous improvement, (6) universality, and (7) fairness. Based on these seven principles, I would establish a standards-based accountability system. Students would rely on state common core standards as a base for academic achievement. Teachers would be instrumental in establishing a set of standards for professional excellence within the district or school site. Knowing what is expected of you is vital in establishing a cultural that not only spurs success but also nurtures effective

There’s a controversy on whether teachers or students should choose what they should read during the school year.Teachers should be able to choose what books students will read during the school year. For example, teachers should choose the books because a book that they choose could expand their vocabulary. For instance, teachers could help students get out of their comfort zone, and try new books to read. For one thing, if teachers select the books that the students will read, it could get the students to learn, and understand about the hard times in the past. In short, teachers should choose what students will read over the course of the year.

The school year is coming up and we need to decide whether teachers should choose books for students to read or students should choose the books. I support on the side that students should get to choose the books that they will read in class. For instance, students should get to choose books so they not only want to read the class book but will want to read other books outside of class. Furthermore, students should get to choose books so they will get to learn to be more mature. Therefore, students should choose books so they will learn to work together. In other words, students should get to choose the books that they will read in class.

School is also coercive, disciplinary and taught by many unmotivated teachers, so school being mandatory is just icing on the cake. Teachers and the school system completely control the way things are run and leave little room for students to do things their way. Teachers control what they teach, how to teach, how to discipline, what is assigned, etc. Students need to have more of a say in the way things are run since they are the majority. More freedom in decisions would create a more comfortable environment and students would thus have an easier time learning. There is also stress on a lack of communication since school is coercive. It is hard to reach a person if one doesn?t have a relationship with that person, and one way to deal with this is through addressing the students to hear their ideas and views on what direction should be taken. School is very similar to an oligarchy where the faculty is the monarch and students are the populous. It should be more of a democracy where all the students have a say in what happens, but how often is there a vote as to class and school decisions? The current curriculum is one in which a teacher says ?jump? and a student responds with ?how high.? And if a student responds with anything different, than they are reprimanded or punished.
