Southern Yorke Advantages And Disadvantages

In recent years, however, there is a new trend that has emerged. The town’s only high school shut down due to budget cuts. Consequently, the level of education attained by

The most important aspect of this topic are the students and families who are affected by

The South also has advantages that the North didn’t have or that the North didn’t have that the South had but the South had more than the North had of that certain thing. “The South’s best advantage’s, however, was strategic, it needed only to defend itself until the North grew tired of fighting (HOLT 513). What this meant is that the people that were fighting for the South were going to do enough to stay alive and then once the North started getting tired they would take that as an advantage and start killing the North so they could win. The “Southern farms provided food for its armie”(HOLT 513). This meant that the South had farmers that grew food to give to the armie. “Northern generals were often forced to attack Confederate troops from

Pelham City School System’s enrollment was around 1,100 students with a 50/50 ration of blacks to white. The schools system consisted of 1 High School and 1 Middle School sharing the same campus, media center, and cafeteria, and 1 Elementary School. Pelham City is a very rural community with no industry. Increasing the millage rate by one mill would not pay a new teacher’s salary.

When it comes to school size, there is no right size that works for every student. Some students thrive in a smaller environment where they get lots of attention, while others prefer the variety of activities and peer groups available in a larger school. Certainly, small and large schools each have their pros and cons. There are many reasons why this statement is true. One of the reasons why is if there are smaller schools they are gonna have smaller class sizes so there is more one on one with the students and teacher. Smaller schools are more lenient with test days and focus more on every student understanding the content.

In the book, The Hoosier School-Master, author Edward Eggleston depicts life in a 19th century rural community. His story reflects the lives of those who might have lived there at the time. Eggleston narrates the book from a point of view that closely reflects what life would have been like in rural Indiana, where he includes facts about the community and its members, as well as what it was like to be a student and a teacher in the 19th century. Flat Creek offers all examples of the experiences of a not only a teacher, but a teacher who has moved to a small unknown community. It also offers a perspective students and community members would have on schooling, and its’ value. I argue that due to the limited resources, the community’s involvement, and geographical location, students were unable to receive a well-rounded education in a rural community during the 19th century. I will use the book and class materials to support my argument that there were limited resources, lower quality of life, high teacher turnover, and limited opportunities for female and minority students (lack thereof).

Nitta, Holley and Wrobel in their study summarized the “arguments against consolidation [as being], smaller schools provide students with better support; smaller schools provide more accessible extra-curricular activities; [consolidation] causes teacher stress; hurts vacated communities; hurts students by requiring them to ride buses for long periods of time; leads to reduced parent participation.” The reactions of the relocated students and teachers are different than those at the receiving school. Students are faced with the anxiety of going to a new building, meeting new peers and teachers, and enduring a lengthy bus ride. In small schools, a student will receive more interaction with the teacher than is possible in a class of increased size. Extra-curricular activities such as basketball, band and choir may have more participants, since the location of the school is usually centered in the community. When students are separated to various districts, close friends, who have been together since childhood, find themselves parting ways. Usually in the larger the school, there arises more conflict among individuals and peer groups. There

Some pros to having a sizable school can include: better school activities, clubs, and organizations, more social opportunities, more friends and gf's/bf's, and of course a sports team that can compete with other schools. Although I’ve never really been a fan of school clubs, organizations, etc., they can prove beneficial by offering people something to overcome the stress of school and gives people something to be a part of. Because, besides inevitable loneliness, fitting in is a major concern for people in high school. School clubs can help others get the volunteer hours that’s exceedingly beneficial to their resumes and for their communities, while simultaneously being fun and being engaged; a stark contrast to their monotonous daily school

In his journal article, Small Versus Large Schools: The truth about Equity, Cost, and Diversity of Programming in Small and Large Schools, founder of Small Schools Coalition, Stuart Grauer defend small schools against overwhelmingly large schools. He reveals the truth behind three myth that claim large schools are the best form of education, offer a more extensive list of curriculum choices, and you're more cost-effective. Grauer examines the differences between school sizes in order to prove how the benefits of small institute sir pass those of larger institutes. As an educator himself, Grauer addresses other teachers, students, and administrators in his journal. His prompt and educated tone relays his message very directly to support his

Having smaller classes are more affective in education because everyone learns differently and with smaller classes it’s easier to manage and take time to help those who needs extra help. Large classes are hard to keep up with everyone. Larger classes does save money but does it really benefit the students. Having smaller classes requires higher quality teachers to better instruct their class. Smaller classes

Providing a small class ensures that students will have the opportunity to learn. According to an article from

It is pretty apparent that in America, and elsewhere, most parents and general adults want what is best for their children in terms of education. This mindset can be seen reflected in the legislative aspects of our education system; there are many incentives pushing through the school boards and legislatures of our nation in order to attempt to further refine the education system. This is important as it allows us to refine traditional American education in order to improve upon it, and one of these attempt refinements and improvements has to deal with the subject of class size. For many people, large classroom sizes are a spawning ground for many issues with the education system: high distraction in the classroom, teacher inefficiency, among a plethora of others. Although it may seem regressive to favor small classes over bigger, more potentially diverse classes, small class sizes are more beneficial for education in that it is less distracting for the students and raises the possibility of staying focused, it potentially raises teacher-student relationships, and it allows for better results and better statistics coming from these smaller classes.

The quality of teaching and the expectations of the students differ from the two schools. Advocates of private school argue that the education received in one of these facilities is more valuable and

When children are put into educational facilities, they get a chance to connect and surround themselves with others of the same age group. Schools can also have significant influence on a person’s individuality as well as peer groups, which influence a student’s academic integrity greatly. A student will not perform well no matter what the case is, if there is negative influence from his peers and their school environment. They affect a person’s attitude, personality in a positive or negative manner.

Many parents feel their children are not being challenged enough in public schools. Some of these children are doing well but clearly could do more, could be stretched intellectually. From their parents' point of view, they spend far too much time watching television, wandering around the mall, or playing games on their computers. Many parents are consequently drawn to private schools because of the academic rigor that comes with smaller classes, more personal attention, and teachers who nurture and promote each child's talents. There is no question that private schools offer smaller classes than most public schools in the country. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 1998-99 the median student-teacher ratio in NAIS schools was 9 to 1 while that in public schools was 17 to 1. Smaller classes make it difficult for a student to hide or slide. In a room with only 14 other students, it is difficult to remain uninvolved or consistently unprepared. Teachers can get to know 15 students much better and faster than 30. Smaller classes promote more faculty member-student interaction, and most kids
