My philosophy is that the educator is a necessary component in a child's life and that, as remarkable educators have taught us again and again -- such as Marva Collins who created her own low-cost private schol for African-American children whom the public schol system had labeleld as learning disabled and who taught third grade students to read at ninth grade level, four-year-olds to read in a few months, second-graders ro study Shakespeare -- I believe that a teacher can always affect the child's level.
To that effect, therefore:
"If a child lives with hostility," he need not necessarily 'fight.'
"If a child lives with ridicule" he need not 'be shy.'
For with the teacher's help:
The child can teach himself confidence.
The child can learn to appreciate.
The child can learn to find love and friendship in the world.
Inspirational teachers, such as Marva Collins and Booker T. Washington, have had enormous and astounding ramifications on chidlren. I aim to simulate these teachers.
The role of community in serving the needs of all students.
Challenges to the educational system abound from culturally related reasons.
A case in point is the story of "Stinky": Robotics and Immigration (Melendez, Apr. 23, 2005) that illustrates the theme that there are many bright immigrants who, because of their parents' illegal crossing over the U.S. borders, are prevented from receiving a college or university education and, hence, from finding employment that is on a par with their abilities. Even those who pay their way to college are, later, impeded by inability to purchase the necessary documentation in order land a job commensurate with their abilities.
The robotics team was one of the fortunate few who found their way to fame and to breaking their hurdle by winning a national robotics competition against promising students from top national universities. 4 poor boys from Phoenix, one of whom juggled a 30-horu workweek with part-time coursework at Phoenix College in order to study aroused worldwide support with nearly $53,000 has poured into a "La Vida Robot Scholarship Fund" to enable them to attend college.
Some states have granted undocumented students the cheaper in-state tuition, whilst a bill in Congress called Dream Act hopes to legalize undocumented students who graduate form U.S. high schools, but the current anti-immigrant environment is strong and the Center...
Introduction All significant approaches to educational development are always multi-faceted endeavors with several aspects, decisions, dimensions, and alternatives that have to be considered. Since education is a sector that brings many people in society together, any alternatives arrived at should be agreed upon by the majority and common ground reached. Also, because education has different levels in society, the alternatives chosen must be consistent with and align with other alternatives at
Educational Problems IS THE AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN TROUBLE? The United States has enjoyed a long history of providing public education for all students. However, many people believe that our educational system does not function well and that it has not for some time. Although multiple ways to improve public education have been tried, the belief persists that our schools produce under-educated students who are under-prepared for college or work. The goal
With respect to modern-day academic matters wherein biblical values contradict social and legal beliefs and requirements, education aims at offering information, and inculcating discipline and competences. Learned individuals are well-equipped to deal with the following areas: interpersonal relationships, career life, overall navigation through life, and self-actualization. But on certain occasions, educators or educational institutions purposefully or unintentionally garble student aims, thereby morally and physically hindering academic goals. Here, the controversy
These techniques gather information and create networks of people and they help promote the interests of the unions at the level of policy making. In terms of the future, this is difficult to foresee. Nonetheless, a feature which gains more and more popularity is the possibility for the No Child Left Behind Act to further increase the bargaining powers of the teacher and their unions. In such a context then,
education system in USA The education system in the U.S. has over the years raised a lot of criticism and concerns among critics from all sectors despite having undergone continued changes and improvement since its inception by the founders of education system in the country.

Private schools are just as vulnerable to the issues that public schools are facing today. Each one of us carries a responsibility for trying to improve the situation. Parents and familial groups have a huge responsibility to augment educational strategies. In the environment where most school systems employ strategies to make students part of the masses, without individual attention or nurturing, it is important for the family to step up
