In the words of Dr. Seuss, “The more that [an individual] read[s], the more things [they] will know. The more that [they] learn, the more places [they will] go.” Students are our future and we need reliable, dedicated, sufficient, driven teachers. Not just any individual can be a true teacher; students are special and need a special person to touch their hearts, minds, and souls. Teachers form the world; producing, inspiring, and providing students with the options and opportunities for their future. A Bachelor degree is the minimal requirement, but perhaps a very realistic goal in four years. Reading through many articles I find teachers definitely teach for passion, not money. Every class and individual student is different and technology is becoming superior in many classrooms, positively and negatively. By 2025, most classrooms will be using computers and technology for education and curriculum. I find competition between college never fails. Going into Elementary Education (K-6) there are many college programs to choose from. www.bestcolleges.com provides the information that in the state of Kansas, Pittsburg State University (PSU) is ranked sixth of 45 and Emporia State University (ESU) is ranked eighth of 45. (The 45 Best Colleges in Kansas for 2017) By attending PSU, a student would spend $572 more on tuition than compared to ESU; however, PSU has 72 academic programs as well as having their elementary education program ranked as one of their three most popular
Did you know that if your child doesn't go to preschool your child is 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent, and 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime? My aunt did not go to preschool therefore, she had to be held back in kindergarten twice because it was her first time being in a school environment, and so she didn’t know how to act or how to pay attention at the age 5, that’s just insane. She also became a teen parent, causing her to drop out of school at the age 17 so that she had to take care of her baby. All children should be required to go to preschool because it helps with brain development, child behavior development, and it can be cheaper (Five Surprising Facts
The function of the education system is to improve students education and prepare them for the real world. Students within that system should receive an “A” when they have mastered the information they are being taught. However, grades no longer accurately reflect how much students have learned. Since 1998 teachers have handed out more A-grades while the average SAT scores have actually fallen. In fact, as Greg Toppo states, an author for USA Today, the amount of A’s handed out actually went up close to ten percent (4). Students can manipulate their courses so that they can get good grades without actually learning much of anything. With grades not accurately representing what students have learned and charter schools failing to solve problehms, teachers need to change how they structure their class or grade assignments.
Teachers shape the minds of students to realize what their purpose is in life. Lately, because of certain educational reforms, it has been hard for teachers to say what they need to say. “In 40-plus states, the math and English guidelines determine the knowledge students have to master by the end of each grade, what they’ll be tested on this year, and in many cases, how teachers and principals will be rated at their jobs once those test scores are released” (Strauss). Most educational reforms are adopting standardized testing and should be reconsidered. Statistics even show that since we have taken part in reforms like No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and Common Core State Standards math and reading are declining. These standards tell teachers what to teach and what the students should know by the end of the school year. The reforms also evaluate teacher performance by how well the students learn the information. Some people believe educational reforms should not be telling teachers how to teach their students, and others believe that the reforms are absolutely fine the way they are. However the truth is educational reforms are yet to be perfected.
When coming to high school you quickly learn that you have a lot more freedom than you did in junior high. You can eat anywhere on campus and hangout with any social group you won't. Finding the right social group is one of the biggest factors in high school. I found new friends and discovered new things I didn't know i would like. High school is great because it provides you with multiple sports throughout the year that junior high doesn’t provide such as soccer, cross country, swim, and football to name a few. I chose to be involved in soccer, track, and cross county which helped me find many friends. Cross country for me was filled with the people that were trying to achieve the same goals as me. If i could i would play every sport at the
With landmark Supreme Court decisions in regards to education such as Brown v Board of Education, which made segregation within schools illegal, one would be inclined to believe that modern schools are void of any inequality. However, at a deeper glance, it is apparent that there is a glaring inequality within public school systems at the national, statewide, and even district-wide level. Such an inequality has drastic results as the education one receives has a high correlation to the college they will attend, and the job they will work. It is in society's best interest that public school systems be improved to equally supplement students with the tools necessary to succeed. While the public school system aims to reduce the inequality within it, they have proven ineffective in guaranteeing children of all races and economic classes an equal education.
What is one of the things that most people are accustomed to? Something that has been a part of their daily life. There are many things but what I am referring to is school. School has been around for hundreds of years. Whether it was to learn about religion or the mandatory classes we take now in the 21st century, many of us have been advised to go to school. It has changed a lot over the years and the system is still trying to improve how they could better educate their students in the future. Now, after going through many levels of school, people question themselves: why did I learn all of this? They question why they couldn’t learn more about taxes, buying a house or the important aspects when you get a car. School has become a
We coordinate interactive lesson plans by evaluating each student from a comprehensive test that demonstrates their oral and written skills. This assessment helps us identify the student’s strengths and weaknesses to define the tutoring lesson plans that will be most effective. Upon completion of the test, our tutoring center director will discuss the test results with the student’s parent or guardian.
Don't you hate to wake up too early in the morning? Who doesn’t? Every school day Del Mar students are waking up around seven o'clock or earlier to get ready for school. It's too early because young minds need rest to function properly. Del Mar should start at least 15 minutes later than it does. Starting school later would improve the educational quality of Del Mar by improving our health, academic performance, and attendance. The facts are all there, so why shouldn't Del Mar’s school hours change?

A handful of 8th Graders are furious of the cancellation of the 8th Grade advancement. We believe that there is no reason to cancel the 8th Grade Advancement. There are numerous reasons why students here are capsized. We postulate that it has been a BTMS tradition and should not leave for the sake of us and other upcoming 8th Graders.

LGBT+, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and beyond. Queer (n.) a homosexual person. Many people have the thoughts of being a part of the LGBT+ community. At Least 1 in 6 people are queer and begin questioning at a varying teenage level(usually 5-9+ grade). LGBT has been a topic floating around for a while but after gay marriage was legalized in 2016, more topics started coming up and the pot was stirred even more. Of course, the 2017 election has also brought up a bunch of talk about conversion therapy (the use of physiological methods to change a person's sexuality to straight) and whether or not gay rights will stay legalized due to our new president. If many people are LGBT+ or questioning, should we educate middle school students on
Can you imagine a world in which parents were free to send their children to only the best schools, no matter which neighborhood they lived in? What if cost wasn’t a factor? Imagine if even a student in the poorest section of town had access to the best education. What could that child achieve? What would they become? How would their life change? Those questions that I asked lead now to the focus of the essay. The world we live in is ever so changing, with that the need for education also needs to be changing. No longer do classic public schools fit the job in all certain situations. That is why with school choice being a controversial issue in education reform, school choice public funds should be used to support school choice programs that offer parents alternatives to traditional public schools.
