Reflective Essay On Schooled

New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The borough that I reside in is Brooklyn. Brooklyn has approximately 2.592 million people inhabiting this district and approximately 23.4 percent of individuals who reside in Brooklyn, NY come from a low-income household or in other words come from poverty. With catholic and private schools being expensive, people have to rely on the education system to provide their children with a good education. In this paper I will be discussing the public school education system ranging solely up to high school in Brooklyn New York and giving a general idea of the New York education system as well.

As a practicing teaching, it is responsibility to create and maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for students. Whilst on professional experience at a local school in Cairns, I taught a series of lessons (artefact 4) for a year 8 Health and Physical Education class. In order to effectively teach each lesson, I had to manage the classroom activities and challenging behaviours. I used the ten micro-skills for classroom management to not only manage students’ behaviour but also ensure inclusive student participation and engagement.

old hippie who is the spotlight and star of the book Schooled, written by Gordon Korman. Cap is living the good life full of tie-dye and Beatles at his favorite place, Garland Farms. Cap was happy as could be, yet still learning and is curious about what the world had to offer. When Rain fell, Cap was irritated at the fact that they had to had to go to a hospital because he believed that the outside world was a “money- hungry rat race of modern society”, and that Garland was the only place that could save him and Rain from the modern world. While driving Rain to the hospital, Cap was exceedingly bewildered when a cop cuffed him for driving without a license. Rain ended

Throughout this year, we have read two books, 50 Myths & Lies That Threaten America’s Public Schools and Schooled: Ordinary, Extraordinary Teaching in an Age of Change, as well as several different articles spanning various topics regarding school and its purpose in society. We learned that each of us in class have had unique school experiences, whether we went to a public, private, charter, or home school. Each of our unique experiences have allowed us to share our personal encounters with school, both positive and negative. Through these readings we learned about how each of us has a stake in schools. We depend on one another to be educated enough to make important decisions, for example critically analyzing candidates and their platforms when deciding to vote. If I could suggest any three of our readings to a high school teacher, a parent, and to a fellow student, they would be the Postman and Weingartner section from Teaching as a Subversive Activity, Why Wrong is not Always Bad by Alina Tugend, and College is not a commodity. Stop treating it like one. by Rawlings, respectively. These articles stood out to me as the most informative as well as the most relative to many of the issues we see today.

At the age of 5, I was placed in a charter school. I was actually really lucky to be in the school because I, along with about 50 plus kids, were picked out of a raffle and I had been one of the last 5 to be called on. I clearly remember my name being called and looking up and noticing my mom had this massive smile on her face while speaking to her friend who had also come with her daughter. After everyone was called I met my kindergarten teacher and at this age, I barely knew English besides what I learned from watching morning cartoons so I had difficulties talking and answering the questions I was being asked by my teacher, Ms. Luis. I would look at my friend who would translate the questions into Spanish and I would answer them in the English I barely knew. For the next 9 years, I would be at Lawrence Family Development Charter School (LFDCS) until I graduated at the age of 13.

Theories provide the foundation for educational practices, and many of them exist. While I consider my personal theory or philosophy of education to be one that is something of an ever-changing conglomerate of ideas, I realize that some of my guiding principals are directly attributed to well a well established theory.

Education and learning are important in today's society. It seems America has a wonderful education system, but if we think deeply, we can figure out that most part in American education is broken. This is a sad truth that the educational system is not working as is supposed to be. Now it becomes messy and it mostly became a business place where money matters. And people should do something to improve it again. This paper will continue to discuss on education in the United States based on the videos depicting the broken education system, the Common Core, and Dan Rather's analysis of the Detroit Education system.

Let’s be honest, the school system does not teach us how to be financially stable or how to pay the things we need as an adult. By taking this class, you can learn all of those things alongside the other Home Economics topics. Learning these things are critical to living happily in a financial point of view. Learning this could better our future. It will also help us realize what we’re going to need to do as adults at a young age. Learning about taxes, bills, and how to be financially stable will be very important if we want to avoid homelessness and be a successful man or woman.

From the day I was born, I had the gift of gab. I could become friends with anyone and there was hardly a moment I was not smiling. In fifth grade, my brother switched to a charter school, which focuses primarily on math and science. To make it easier on the family, my sister and I also enrolled. I was apprehensive about transferring to this school because I was not acquainted with anyone, but I was confident I could bond with anyone in my new class. However, I was not aware of how different this school was from my last. This school was strict and the tests were strenuous. Even though much of my time was spent trying to advance to the same level as the other students, I made an effort to form friendships with my classmates. Then I experienced the way the school disciplines their students for misbehaving, by

‘Schooled’ is a very important title in many ways.”Schooled” Means to be taught a lesson I will use Cap, Zack, Naomi.

Education in America has undergone a series of changes as shown by the global rankings where over half of the global top 100 universities are from the United States. There is also single and unequal scientific output of the tertiary institutions in the United States. Most of the Nobel scientific and laureate papers are produced by these organizations. Averagely, anyone in the United States benefits more if they own a diploma or degree as compared to those who do not possess any tertiary certificates. Nevertheless, there is a persistent rise in tension and anxiety over higher education in the region. A diploma or degree certification is commonly considered as the gateway to a good and high-paying job. However, a combination of increased

America is a blessed country in numerous ways, and its citizens reap the benefits. Free education is one major benefit that not many other countries provide for their citizens. While it is only a privilege to many, but in the States, people have the right to be educated. However, free education cannot be translated to success for all. For those motivated ones who cherish the privilege to be educated are those who climb up the success ladders later in life. For a certain majority of students in the States, our current educational system may not seem to serve its purpose. In this paper, I will explore two possible adjustments that could be made to improve our system to benefit our next generation. Academic improvement and class size

The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and

I started off by asking the students what their names were, then I introduced myself. I had my laptop in front of my lap, I found that very difficult to read the powerpoint to the students. I had to monitor and adjust by holding the laptop up and to the side, so that I was able to read it. After I went through the powerpoint one student informed me that they had not learned about weathering and erosion yet.

In high school, I had to advocate for myself; if I wanted something I made sure my teachers and counselors knew my hopes and dreams for the future. As a senior, I decided that my AP Photography class was not benefiting my education and I was not becoming a better photographer or student through the class. I knew that my creativity would be better used in an AP Ceramics setting. So, in order to get my classes switched I had to be my own advocate for the well-being of my education. I visited my counselor weekly until my class was finally changed and I was in a class I truly enjoyed. Though I am aware that my high school is an exception to the typical public-school education, it is important to note that not all students are uninterested in learning. In the year, I was placed in AP Ceramics, I learned countless skills including, wheel throwing, soldering copper, glaze mixing, and even determination and persistency. So, in my high school career I learned both critical thinking as well as vocational skills to create a well-rounded education.
