Summary Of I Just Reformed The School System By Prince Ea

In his article “Against School”, John Taylor Gatto criticizes America’s system of schooling children, arguing that the whole system is bad and unfixable. In the majority of the essay Gatto relies on personal anecdotes, historical examples that do not correspond with modern day society, and bold unsubstantiated claims. Due to this, instead of convincing parents to take their children out of school and rethink our societies schooling structure, he just leaves the reader confused over what the problems he’s criticizing truly are.

Let’s do away with the school system. In “Against school, John Taylor Gatto says, “They said the work was stupid, that it made no sense, that they already knew it. They said that they wanted to be doing something real, not just sitting around” (Gatto 608). Gatto uses his article “Against School” to talk about how the school system is not necessary. He uses certain rhetorical strategies and personal experiences to do so. In “Against School”, John Taylor Gatto uses his personal experience in his thirty years of working in the school system and some rhetorical strategies to convince people who have children in the public-school system that kids do not need to be put in the system to have an education.

Also when the lunch lady says “ Sorry, kid…. That’s it.” He is trying to pull the information from the education reform that is happening that it mostly focus on how proficient a kid is and therefore a teacher is forced to teach more test prep and things that will be on the test. We see the little child in the background but the two bigger kids in the front representing that the No Child Left Behind Act and how the child is left behind with a little idea on other things but knows about test prep.

While reading different stories or books, rhetorical appeals allow the reader to analyze and understand what the author is trying to do via persuasion. There is three part to this process, the author, the one who wrote the text, the reader, and the actual text. Three appeals are used during this method. Logos, the author uses logic to convince the reader. Pathos, the author uses emotions to engage the reader. Ethos, is solely based on the authors experience when writing the text.

The Legacy school system is a charter school in Arizona is a large school system that operates different locations all over the valley. Legacy operates school in the following cities within Arizona; Maricopa, Casa Grande, Queen Creek, Chandler, Northwest Tucson, Avondale, Laveen and Gilbert. The Legacy School system supports students and families from various minority groups and socio-economic backgrounds. In 2013-2014 Legacy had 8,000 students enrolled across its campuses. This wide range covered By Legacy schools means that each school must be slightly different to address the varying needs of its students.

In Carrie Leana’s The Missing Link in School Reform, the author analyzes how educators can be more effective the retention levels and overall success of student’s gaining knowledge in today’s society. Leana’s “social capitalism” introduces how one can develop stronger as an educator by resourcing their other teacher friends around them. “When a teacher needs information or advice about how to do her job more effectively, she goes to other teachers .. among other teachers in a school are characterized by high trust and frequent interaction-that is, when social capital is strong-student achievement scores improve” (Leana, page 4, paragraph 1). Leana encourages teachers to network with each other, and become better acclimated with approaches of education.

It was the beginning of the day and Kullan was in a rush to get to his classroom, He took his lunch and said goodbye to his mother. Once he got to his classroom, he said hello to all his friends and to his teacher, Mr. Metten, who has been teaching at Kullan’s school for 6 years. Lately Mr. Metten has been getting to know his students on a more personal level and has been enjoying his job more. Mr. Metten has been teaching the second grade for four of his six years of teaching. Before he was a middle school history teacher, Oh, how he hated middle school. All the obnoxious, ornery, loathsome, vile, and naive seventh and eighth graders running around trying to impress one another. He hated how arrogant middle schooler’s were, So, when a position at the local elementary school opened up he jumped on it, if only he knew.

In “Against School,” John Taylor Gatto indicates that dullness and detachment is a crucial factor of our progression in our education system. I agree that this is true for both the teachers and the students that are disinterested in our modern long-suffering system where one is to stipulate and the other to obtain an education. Schooling has to be much more alive and active so children can take an education. Furthermore, Gatto took this complication and suggested an outrageous result of getting rid of the schooling system as all together. He attests that people in the past have come to do amazing and spectacular things with their life without a boring and obligatory education.

Murray relies on a mixture of factual and theoretical situations while incorporating his own personal opinions into the discussion. Murray also establishes his own logic and factual information when introducing the certain percentiles of students and how their expectations may be undercut when their attempt at obtaining a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) from a university, fails. Towards the end of essay, Murray introduces a situation pertaining a student who is electrically inclined and his alternate career options when pursuing a business management degree. Although this seemed like an attempt at establishing emotional relation (pathos) with the reader, it felt too generic to really connect with me seeing as everyone is on a different path in his

Essay #1 was an interesting one to write, because I’ve never written essay like this before. First of all at the beginning I thought it’s going to be hard to write it. I couldn’t find two stories that I could compare. I really liked “A Story of an Hour” and was trying to look for the other character that somehow experienced something like Mrs. Mallard. Then I realize that Miss Emily is going to be a perfect character to contrast. I read the two stories again and looked for similarities and differences in between the two women.

Mark Twain once said, “I have never let school interfere with my education” (Twain). Although both terms, school and education, go hand in hand, the effects on students vary tremendously. School, defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “an institution for instruction”, implies the organization runs the school system for ulterior motives such as finances and personal gains ("School."). Adversely, education is “the action of teaching someone”, which focuses on providing knowledge and understanding to the students ("Education."). The education American students receive appears to be corrupted by the politics of the public school system. The failure to educate America’s youth forces these individuals to invest in other schooling options,

Education is needed in the life of the people of God. True education means more than a preparation for life that is now. It has to with the whole being and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, mental, and spiritual powers. The world has many great teacher but God stands higher than them which is the real soiuce of knowledge. The holy scriptures are perfect standard of truth and should be given the highest place in education. He who desire to reach God’s ideal will presents education as high as the heaven and as broad as the universe, an education that can’t be completed in this life but will continue for the life to come. In Eden, personally directed the education

I have heard about ethos, pathos, and logos before in my English classes, but never applied them to persuasive speeches. Ethos is meant to appeal to an audience’s morality and competence of character. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotion by sharing psychological factors. Logos appeals to an audience’s logic and sound of reasoning. When I gave my first persuasive speech in public speaking, I used ethos for some emotion and pathos to appeal to the audience about my topic. I got feedback after I gave my speech and people told me they connected with it and that it was really good. I was shocked that using ethos, pathos, and logos in a speech could have such a big impact on a speech, and an audience. The audience is able to relate more to the topic of the speech

School reformers believed that school had the capacity to inform and change the children to fit the civilized society they wanted to have. This inspired the Government of the day to attempt to initiate a school program that would be run by state that would help Educators and school promoters who believed public schooling was needed to instill appropriate modes of thinking and behavior in children. As far as they were concerned, the purpose of public schooling was not primarily the acquisition of academic knowledge. The early school systems, among other things, were designed to solve different societal problems, both perceived and real, ranging from crime to poverty and from indolence to vagrancy. Public schooling also meant inculcating

Many schools in America are divided by cities and districts which locks in certain students for specific schools. Some of these schools are well provided, and others are not due to the income of that district which the students live in. These borders for schools causes a problem in which certain educational tools and experience are restricted for those individuals who have a low income. The inadequate funding of schools for certain districts throughout America
