My Interest In The Catholic University Of America
.... It means a great deal to me to have them be so involved with my future, so more than anything I want to make them proud of me. I want to show them that I can do whatever I put my mind to. I want to be sucsessful in the path I choose, this way they know they have raised a strong and independent person. That is why before choosing where I want to go I want to be sure that it is the right choice for me.
The catologs were helpful, but to get some more information I went to Mrs. Saxton. I needed to know what I had to do to prepare myself for the whole college process. What I found out is that there are a million and one .....

Standardized Testing As A War
.... is a race against the clock. Just as a solider waits for his time to strike, the educational system is based solely on the amount of time in the classroom. Teachers don’t have time to teach. Students don’t have time to learn. Administrators don’t have time to solve problems. Just think of all the time squandered preparing for standardized tests, not to mention the time taking these tests. HSPT and the EWT are tests repeatedly taken over and over during school time, even by students who have passed it. The preparation time in the classroom has replaced time needed for valuable knowledge of mathematical problem solving, h .....

Importance Of Higher Education
.... most important benefit that individuals associate with going to college.
In part, I too agree that job attainment and improved earnings are an attribute of higher education. The disparity in annual income as evidenced by the graph in exhibit 1 cannot be overlooked. However, while not always quantifiable, there are also many other benefits of higher education.
It is crucial that policymakers, individuals, politicians, and society in general are aware of all the benefits and importance of investing in higher education.
Additional benefits can be categorized into public and private. In many instances, you will find that there is .....

The Study Of Psychology
.... a survey there are so many variables to cope with it is incredible. My group showed ways around surveys in that it is easy to prove your point; you just give the survey to who agrees with you. Surveys are black and white and if you draw a conclusion from one, it may not be accurate and most likely is not. A group also did their experiment using an observation method. Using this method is very difficult to use especially when given this little of time. When observing a group of people it is vital to watch every person the whole time otherwise your conclusion will be a very general statement. Methods of Psychology will not p .....

Cultural Diversity: Campus Climates And Classroom Instruction
.... builds a mutually respectfully community.
I would like to see more diversity courses offered at the campus that encourages students to understand the concepts of culture and their ramifications, so students can use these for insights into and active engagements within a specific culture. In this effort, the students could discuss diversity courses at their learning, rather than keeping them peripheral to their knowledge, lives, and society. This curriculum could also assist students in developing an appreciation for and a growing sensitivity to cultures other than their own. For if the university does not value diversity .....

History Of Public Schools
.... schools has lead to the triumph over opposition from American citizens and has resulted in the expansion of public education.
As time progressed, the need for free public education became more evident. A law was passed giving all adult white males the right to vote, but many of these men were uneducated and lacked the knowledge needed to make an informed decision when voting. It is also known that quite a number of these men were also unable to read and write. “To put the privilege of voting in the hands of ignorant men was to threaten the welfare of the nation.”1 Leaders envisioned public schools not only as a means of basi .....

Bilingual Education Is Beneficial To Students Abilities To Assimilate In The Mainstream Culture
.... of today’s youth. There always have been some immigrants who viewed themselves explicitly as the preserver and savior of their languages and heritages. Since the late 1800s, ethnic minorities in America have been consistently characterized as culturally inferior. Their language right has consistently been the subject of political review. Politicians do not have the right to force people to master their language and values just because they are the dominant society. They should encourage and support students to the attainment of bilingual or multilingual skills. They should also consider that students coming from homes where two o .....

Uniforms Will Make Schools A Better Place
.... students wear these uniforms. This shows that, it’s possible for all students to be able to find a way to get these uniforms to schools. It also shows that, were there are places with a lot of violence and hopefully their uniforms could helps these students. However, uniforms could be a pricey engagement. This shows that, some and most people won’t be able to afford uniforms. This also shows that, this will not solve all of the society’s problems with schools. Uniforms could really change the perspective of students in more than one way.
Uniforms will solve many of the toughest problems because; it’s eliminating clothes that mig .....

Homeschooling: The Begining
.... just that, and after some real soul searching, just began having a 'peace' down deep in our hearts about this crazy homeschooling thing. Hard to explain, but it just 'felt right'.
So, our decision was made. We would begin our daughter in 2nd grade the next fall.
How excited we were as we attended the much-needed cirriculum fairs to come our way! What fun it was to meet new families who were on the same journey!
We began this experiment called homeschooling about 7 yrs ago and are still going strong. My children have been tested and are doing very well academically, socially, and spiritually. We are pleased, and as they beg .....

Lockers In School
.... would make life easier for many students, instead of caring all of our folders and books we could just carry the ones that we need the most. The schools GPA would raise a bit. If we had lockers, it would end up being beneficial for the school. If there are no lockers, it can lead to potentially serious back problems. There is also the bad side.
There is a bad side to having lockers. There are persons that uses their lockers to keep things concealed, like weapons, drugs, and other potentially dangerous objects. If students are bringing those objects into school, then I suggest blaming security instead of the lockers. Tardiness .....

Comparing Japanese And American Education
.... witch are very important in the success of the students, and they must study for up to three hours every day in order to prepare.
Americas methods of education are not effective unless the pupils have the ambition to succeed. There is a portion of students who do not care about school and they still are allowed to graduate from high school without learning nearly anything at all. Their was one instance where a student who was mentally challenged graduated from normal high school classes by copying for all four years. Our educational system is corrupt and it allows incompetent people to succeed. Children with the ambition .....

The Ironies Of Education
.... prime targets for oppressors. The system presents oppressors with a "profitable situation" for exploitation because the "banking" concept turns its students into ignorant, powerless beings who simply adapt to the world as they have been trained to do. Hence this become an advantageous situation for oppressors "whose tranquillity rests on how well men [and women] fit the world the oppressors have created and little they question it" (Freire 63). Therefore, the author argues that a well-defined education, based on the concept of "problem posing" is the only way women and men can become truly liberated from oppression for it "aff .....
