My father for example was born into a poor family of twelve, so naturally there was hardly parental supervision, but growing up on his own and wanting better in life, he did stellar in his schoolwork and went to college. Nowadays, he is not living paycheck to paycheck that is hourly, he has a salary and a well paying job he enjoys. This is a prime example displaying the possibilities when one is independant and does not rely on others in…

J.W.B Douglas conducted a study into what was the main causes in the underachievement of working class pupils, he found that the home and school explained working class failure. The lack of parental interest stimulation in the home causes an environment that is not supportive of their child learning. The two measures of parental interest used were how often the parent would visit the school and what the teachers said about the parents. This would affect the working class pupil’s motivation to do well in school because their attitude towards education is lax because of the parent’s lack of interest, this could there for lead the child to under achieve. Douglas proposed an improvement in primary school teaching and an increase nursery schools to give working class children the stimulus lacking in their home. This may improve the attitude of working class pupils due to the fact that they would have a reference to the infant stages of education that would provide cultural capital because they are aware of the importance of education.…

Currently in the United States, new parents are only guaranteed twelve unpaid weeks to take care of their new infant or adopted child. However in other OECD countries, parents are offered an average of ten months of parental leave where some countries, such as Germany, will extend the leave up to 39 months (Berger and Waldfogel 2001). In 1993, the United States federal government finally passed a law that would help with job protection for parents and allow them to take time off to care for their new infant and recover from labor (Ruhm 2000). However, the FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) does not give paid parental leave, rather it is only twelve unpaid weeks. For parents in states such as California, mainly mothers, would have to apply for PFL (Parental Family Leave) which is under SDI (State Disability Insurance) to receive some sort of paid leave. PFL only allows mothers to be paid for 4 weeks before the birth, and 6 weeks after a vaginal birth, or 8 weeks for Caesarean section . Only five states, one of them being California, offer these chances for parents to take a paid leave…
In this case, Mothers Work Inc., a leading designer, producer, and vendor of maternity clothing, is accused of pregnancy discrimination. Cynthia Papageorge, a former manager at one of the company's stores, said she was fired after the company vice president, Frank Mullay, made a surprise inspection. She claimed that Mullay questioned whether she was capable of doing her job in her "condition". Days later, Mullay allegedly directed Papageorge's supervisor, Jan Dowe, to fire her, who was later also fired for inadequate job performance after taking maternity leave. It is clear to me that despite several laws in place to prevent this particular type of discrimination, Mothers Work Inc. was either blatantly ignoring the law, or…

Some parents are authoritative and they impose their wishes on you without giving you a chance to take your own decisions. This is one of the most common reasons why kids are not able to pursue their passion, especially in India. Parents think they know what’s best for you, even without analyzing your likes, dislikes, affinities, dreams and desires. And you, as an ideal son or a ‘sanskari’…
As kids, the question is always asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Depending on the interest of their parents, the children’s answers vary greatly. If they come from a family of lawyers, the child would most likely say they would want to be a lawyer. If they come from a family where no one has graduated from high school, the child would most likely say that they would want to be a truck driver. The background and the status of the parents would determine the aspirations of children’s future. Social stratification determines a child’s outlook on their future career and education.…

Gone are the days, when a child is good at a certain skill, will be groomed for a particular job which required that skill. But now the scenario is totally different. Every other child is groomed to acquire a particular set of skills so that they join a particular job, without even identifying his/her natural skills. This creates a great pressure in students and eventually has become the” norm of Education”. This also contributes fairly, raising the incidence of Learning Disability among children.…
