School Choice – An Educational Custom Fit Imagine if only one size of pants were sold in stores and government regulations wouldn’t allow any other size to be made available to consumers. This may sound crazy but it’s much like what’s happening with the education of our nation’s children. As Americans we enjoy a wide range of personal choice, and thankfully it includes our ability to select the pants that fit us best. But think for a moment about traditional public education. For...

Schoolhouse or Home School? What do George Washington and the Hanson brothers have in common? Do you give up? Well, the answer is that both of them were educated in their homes. Queen Elizabeth, Thomas Edison, and Theodore Roosevelt were also educated at home. According to the Home Education Research Institute, 1.5 million students are staying home for class today.

 Home School v/s Private School I wouldn’t recommend home schooling to any parent, I would rather send my child/children to regular school instead, all because to me your child doesn’t learn anything from sitting at home getting taught from the parents. Not saying that the parents are not teaching them anything, but that they need to be around more people. Attending regular school have your child/children around more siblings their age and not just be around the parents all the time. A...

Being able to go to school is a privilege. Here in the United States, they offer public schools to everyone without a fee but in other countries like the Philippines, they don't. The Philippines is one of the third-world countries which means that there's more poor people than rich and not everyone can afford to get an education. From where I used to live when I was still there, I always see children in the streets selling flowers or rags and most of them are just below the age of 16. They have...

Public School versus Home School Public School versus Home School Over the years people have debated which one is a better education system for children, whether it is public school, or home school. There are many arguments for which one benefits the student more, such as social development in children, the education level to which he receives and also the maturity level upon completion. With the number of homeschoolers growing at about 11% a year so you can see that the public opinion of...

The perfect school The perfect school would have to be appealing to the students and offer a pleasant environment. It would certainly be a place where students would feel comfortable to learn. It would be located in the countryside, away from the city centre without car fumes, traffic and noise.

In this paper I am going to present an theoretical school district, school, and a classroom as examples of the ideal that our educational system should strive to achieve. The philosophy my schools will be based on is one of equality. Every single child will have an opportunity to receive the best possible education.

Racism in Schools Some people seem to think racism in schools died out a long time ago. This statement couldn't be more wrong.

During class one day, some students spilled paint on the...

School Memories School days were the same from day to day most times. School lunches were at the same time every day at noon. They were great because I got satisfied, I got to visit with friends, and I got to burn energy. Right before lunch everyday my teacher would have the whole class clean up the classroom. After we were done she would line us up alphabetically. Luck me I was always in the front. The she would have us walk down the hallway. I would see posters and artwork on the...

It gives one pleasure of eating food that tastes different simply because it has been cooked in a different manner. The success of a...

School days I feel wow pleased to write for Carmel times this time, not as a ‘Student’. It’s really a thrilling experience to write about the ‘Golden School days’. Those were the days which I am missing since half an year. It’s all due to the love and affection which I received from my alma mater, my second home, my school. Realization of the universal truth, I must say, “School is our second home” is indeed a mixed feeling. It brings happiness on my face as I have been made very strong...

There should be no guns in class room. Because it may cause more violence in the school and cause more school shootings. Kids may find the gun and use it against others. Also some younger kids may feel threatened with a gun in the class room. However assuming that any teacher and kid would not go on a killing spree yes it could be a good idea, but considering most school shooting are caused by children/teens it is not a logic idea. We do not need more guns in schools I personally think that we...

Schools have policies and procedures so that the governors, staff, parents and others who are involved with the running of the school, are able to work from a set of guidelines which are followed by all, which gives clear comprehensive consistency. There are a lot of different policies relating to all different aspects of procedures and should be accessible should they need to be referred to. Although each school will have there own set of policies with varying titles or a slightly different...

Against School Gattos opinion on school is extremely intense and straight forward. For the most part I agree with his standing point on the subject of schooling. I agree with his arguments of how we have become a society that completely relies on technology to keep us from being bored, and this notion teaches us to be absent minded rather than creative. I also agree that keeping kids “locked up” in a building for about seven hours a day gives us no room to grow individually and learn from...

The Problems Of School School is boring. It is absolutely pointless. These are just a few of the negative thing children are saying about school nowadays.

It may help you make those choices and learn from those mistakes but hey, if your parents raise you right you'll be fine. In fact, your parents probably have had to deal with some of the problems...

Event thought she had complete...

About school Response I believe in school now in days the curriculum kills our creativity. Not the teachers. The teachers are only there to help teach the curriculum.

Kids growing up in this era will have no imagination because it’s all straight forward stuff. Teacher get mad at you if you doodle on your paper or step out of line in the hall...

I think the most frightening thing is how many students just “hate” school. I think educators in my school district have been lead to believe that we start teaching subject skills on day 1. We don’t always have the chance to get to know our students on day one except for their names and maybe their birthdates. I really appreciate the links to...
