her daughter Bianca in the proper school, and a small boy named Francisco struggling in reading and with teachers. Guggenheim gives these examples to set a reminder that kids have ambitions, but with the improper schooling they will not have the chance to reach their goal. These examples make the audience feel sorrow while inclining them to help in the future. Consequently, most of the children are put into a type of lottery to see if they can qualify for a charter

Jewish children soon couldn't even go to school with the other German children. Jewish businesses were forced to close and synagogues were burned and vandalized.

New Zealanders, we have a problem. We suffer from something called tall poppy syndrome; where we repress those who exceed us - cutting down the poppies that grow taller towards the light.

Philosophy of Education Everyone in this country is extremely unique and each person has individual goals and passions in their lives. The one thing each person has in common is growing up completing some level of education through public schooling, charter or private schooling, or home schooling.

How a Contemporary Charter School Solved the Problem of a Hidden Agenda in Education It is not surprising that schools catering to a wealthier demographic are better than schools in which the students are poorer, or that those students are being taught the skills needed for higher-paying professions.

Schools located in immigrant communities are unlikely to have sufficient bilingual and English as a second language (ESL) teachers as well as other resources needed to integrate children into the American school system (Garcia, Jensen & Scribner, 2009).

This is a deep connection that starts to develop from the time of conception and continues on to flourish and establish itself in the early years of the child’s life.

DESCRIPTION OF CURRICULUM My curriculum observation is an analysis of a third grade class in a public charter school. Charter schools are known for their strong core curriculum and creative elective courses and teaching methods.

I speculated that the in-class interactions would consist of open-ended questions and reflective dialogue
