...feels that students should not be forced to learn something and be graded on it. This makes students hate learning more than ever. Schools should think for the benefit of the students. I agree with Farber's perspective that the grading system being used needs to go. In Farber's essay, he diminishes the grading system, because it does not grade students effectively. In Farber's essay, he talks about how grades have turned students into slaves. Farber wrote, “Twelve years of slave work have very likely convinced us...

...youth and causing history to change slowly if at all. Affirmative action has good intentions and is very much needed in today's world however it sometimes fails doing what it was created to do. The extra points given to the students of color is seen to be unfair, fails at creating an economically diverse environment, and sets low expectations for students of color (But Not At This Cost). The does not believe the advantages are fair at all "For example, a perfect SAT score is worth 12 points. Being black gets you 20 points. Is there anyone who can look at those two numbers and think they are fair?" (Paragraph 2) also affirmative action fails to help those in need "They often benefit the children of the middle- and upper-class black American who have been conditioned to feel they are owed something" (Paragraph 4). The arguments given as to why this person does not support affirmative action fail to support his or her studies with actual proof from previous studies. Based on a study conducted by the College Board American Americans and Hispanics have the lowest income of all races in America. Lower earning families tend to live in affordable areas, that lack quality housing, schools, police enforcement. When a school fails to teach possible SAT skills or questions yet the child maintains a good GPA and is a well rounded student why hold it against them? With the growing rate of immigration it is common for a child to move during the most vital years in their education. Some children...

...Reflections on Individual Assignment 1 This document provides examples of student critiques prepared for individual assignment 1. I have selected examples of satisfactory and unsatisfactory critiques supplemented by some comments. Hopefully this will assist in preparing for the second individual assignment and the final exam. 1. Literature review (objectives and motives) Satisfactory critique Critique: Jones and Solomon (2010) do not explicitly mention the aim of their research, but rather refer to the nature of the research. This is not seen as a weak point as the authors make use of grounded theory in their study. The authors do however identify their motivation of conducting this research quite well by stating: “However, to our knowledge, there has been little research (...)” (pp. 21). Furthermore, the authors link their motives to prior research by stating that there has been a lack of interview-based work in prior research (Ball et al, 2000; Deegan et al, 2006; O’Dwyer and Owen, 2005). I do see this link as a strong point in contrast to the objective of this article. The objective of this article is not clearly formulated. The authors mention: “We address the fundamental question on (...)” (p.21). However, immediately afterwards they state: “In addition, we shed light on several important questions such as (...)” (p.21). These additions are not related to previously identified questions by the authors but to the themes that derived from the interviews in this study. Therefore...

...My topic is a topic I am sure runs through the head of at least ninety percent of all college students. Why should all college majors require you to take college algebra? The requirements for your basic college classes include college algebra. Without the proper ACT score you will be taking remedial algebra before you reach college algebra. For those who don’t know college algebra is a very difficult class. About fifty eight percent of all students who take it fail it at least once. It is especially difficult for the people who fall under the same class as me that struggle with math even before college algebra. The reason I chose this topic is because I know how extremely challenging this class is and I believe it is unfair for colleges to...

...Name Course Instructor Date Universal Intellectual Standards Meantime, awakening her roommate who was up late studying and who has no reason to rise for another hour? This violates the intellectual standard of clarity. We do not know any reason as to why the roommate is expected to wake up an hour after. The character fails to elaborate her reasons as to why waking up an hour later would be appropriate for the roommate without even telling if she has a class or even sets her alarm for 9 am every morning. This point could have been expressed in another way to bring out clarity. It would make more sense if she, at least, told the readers more about the sleeping patterns of the roommate Indeed, at every minute, she will encounter the need to make decisions This violates the intellectual standard of accuracy, fairness and breath. After this statement, the reader is left wondering about the kind of decisions that we will have to encounter on a minute interval. Why one minute and not every second, or even an hour? We cannot even find out if this statement is true being that no proof is attached to it. Breath is not met, and one is left to have the opinion that the question could have been asked from another point of view. We could have even simply talked about the whole day, rather than talking about minutes. Fairness is breached when the main character opts to talk about her roommates expected predicament of decision making, simply because she was faced with one in the morning...

...of having a public examination. Public examination can be defined as a test is prepared by the ministry of education to test the performance of students and the examination will be conducted simultaneously throughout the country. For example UPSR , PMR , SPM and STPM. There are many disadvantages of the public examination. Therefore, I agree that the examination should be abolished due to several reasons which are examination are not reliable way of gauging the true ability of student, examination is not the best mean to evaluate certain skill of the student and examination is lacking of its validity. To begin with, public examination are not a reliable way of gauging the true ability of students. Many students simply memorise what has been taught and regurgitate the facts during examinations. In that respect, they are merely exhibiting lower order thinking skills as expounded in Bloom's taxonomy of learning. If student has a poor memory and fails a public examination, does it mean the student is not smart? . At best, public examination only seem to evaluate a student's ability to memorise and retain that memory until the time he sits for an examination when he has to recall the information. Furthermore, examinations are a summative form of evaluation. If a student fails an examination, does it also mean that the student has not learned much in the years that particular examination supposed to cover?. That would be a scary thought indeed. Examination neither promote...

...Why shoot us down with bad grades? You want to see us succeed, right? In the article “What our education system needs is more F’s,” by Carl Singleton, he argues why he feels that students should receive more F’s instead of passing grades. He gives a great argument about his position, and he points out things such as, why teachers don’t give F’s to students and How that is affecting kids from elementary school to post-graduates. Although some may feel the education system may need more F’s, the grades that replace the F’s are more important to the students’ confidence and self-esteem as a person outside of school. Carl Singleton makes a great argument, and quickly establishes a position getting started. In the beginning of the writing he states,...

...working computers. Does this sound like a healthy school environment? For the kids and teachers at Notre Dame Preparatory this might be a literal hell, however, this is what normal school is like for inner city kids. Moreover, Author Anne Beatty, wrote “Survival Skills at a School in LA” published in 2013 in The American Scholar, argues that the system has given up on these kids long before they have started; and fails to provide the basic needs causing them to turn towards gang related violence. Thus, Beatty’s arguments begin to showcase her use of emotional appeals to the readers, which by the end of the article she defends her statements...

...When googling reasons to volunteer there several websites with different lists of reasons but one thing always remained the same list to list; ‘to help’ always remained towards the bottom of the list if it was included at all. And ‘valuable on a resume’ always ranked near the top. Over the years we have lost sight of why volunteering is so important. One of the biggest issues with service-learning and volunteering is that it teaches a false sense of need in the community and how to respond to this need. Service-learning teaches a false sense of need and what created the need. Often times need is seen as a lack of something the client needs or wants. The deficiency is placed solely on the client rather than in the system. Service-learning...

...Table of Contents 1 The Ethical Issue – Whether to Pay NCAA Football Student-Athletes 3 1.1 The Case For Maintaining the Current System - Not Paying NCAA Football Student-Athletes 4 1.2 The Case For Paying NCAA Football Student-Athletes 6 1.3 Conclusion 11 1.4 References 13 The Ethical Issue – Whether to Pay NCAA Football Student-Athletes Top college football programs make hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues each year, all without having to pay the people who actually play the game. Is it ethical for colleges to not pay their football stars for playing their hearts out on the field, building popular branding images for themselves and their school, and for the collective big-money earnings and prestige that often comes to their schools? Or is indirect payment to these players in the form of a free undergraduate education and college degree through an athletic scholarship sufficient enough? In the 2012 NFL season, 1,947 players played in at least one game. Of those, 62% attended college at one of the five “power conferences” in the U.S., and only one of those players did not attend college at all.[i] Donald Remy, the NCAA chief legal officer has said, “The NCAA’s rules do not force athletes who wish to be professionals to enroll in school,”[ii] yet premier NCAA schools clearly offer the best path to fulfilling these hopeful football players’ dreams. Nevertheless, despite the more opportunistic path of attending a Division...

...net/teachers-corner/4774-factors-affecting-the-study-habits-of-the-students Factors affecting the Study habits of the Students Written by Giniely V. Venturina | Teacher I | MNHS Cabcaben | Mariveles, Bataan Published: 07 May 2014 Created: 07 May 2014 Education is one of the most important things in life that an individual must have. As it defined, it is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training. Moreover, it frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one think, feels, or acts may be considered educational (Wikipedia). That is the reason why, the Philippine government assigns the highest budgetary priority ( Article XIV sec. 5 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution) to provide free education to all. According to one of the readings, education is absolutely beneficial for society on the whole. It is a life long process to each person that needs to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicate illiteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technical education. Education is a teaching and learning process that involves teachers whose function is to teach young individuals and learners who will gain all the learning imparted by the teacher. But if one of them fails to perform his duty in the said process...
