Educational l System: School Improvement

First of all, in 2004, only 9% of the federal budget as a whole went to educating our own; a whopping 42% of our tax dollars went to support the war effort. How does the administration expect to improve the success of our educational system when it is not even a mere concern monetarily? (www.fcnl.org,2005). uccess within a crumbling system requires money.
In addition to the lack of funding for our nation's next generation, the introduction of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) during President Bush's first term in office is wasting the little 9% of tax dollars that are allocated to education. The administration of the many new exams that are required for schools to take to receive funding take a great deal of money to administer in exam materials, preparation, disbursement, assessment, and reporting of the scores. That does not even take into account the amount of time wasted…...

educational system in America is facing heavy criticism (eich, 2010). This criticism centers on the effectiveness of the system and its capacity to educate the nation's children. Critics argue that America's children continue to record poor scores in standardized testing and that graduation rates continue to decline. On one side are those who are arguing that drastic changes are needed while the opposing side argues that the American education system is performing adequately (Strauss, 2006).
One of the major criticisms of the American system of education is that it is too bureaucratic in structure (Douglas, 1991). One of the causes that the system has become so bureaucratic is its heavy reliance upon funding from governmental agencies. This reliance results in schools being required to conform to layers and layers of regulation and compliance rules that divert attention from the primary goal which is to educate. Teachers and administrators spend inordinate…...

educational system is failing?
In his manifesto, Earth in Mind, environmental activist and educator David . Orr states that his pro-environmentalist policies and his philosophy of education are united. Going against the current tendency, even amongst liberal educators, to embrace standardized testing as a measurement of scholastic success, Orr instead emphasizes the need to create more mindful consumers of the earth's resources. Our failure to produce environmentally savvy students is why our education system is failing the planet. In the field of biology "because of the recent overemphasis on molecular biology and genetic engineering, which are more lucrative but not more important," the study of ecology and environmental biology is being lost, and systems of "vernacular" and indigenous knowledge or 'folk culture' are being completely rejected as worthy of scientific value, and are instead relegated to anthropological curiosities (Orr 9-10).

The problem is not that the United States is failing to…...

Klein and the Educational System in New York
Case Questions: Leaders Who Make a Difference: Joel Klein Brings Accountability to NYC

Klein was a prominent leader in the educational system of New York. He had made impressive developments throughout his term in the Chancellor post. For example, Klein ensured an elevating trend in the number of graduates in New York. During his leadership, the number of graduating students shifted from fifty percent to sixty five percent. Nevertheless, his developments were subject to inadequate funds. The intense recess brought much limitation towards his reforms towards the educational system. Klein was a significant leader in the New York educational system. He had outstanding methodologies of developing the quality of education throughout the locality. Klein left a legacy in his area of leadership.

His strategies remained outstanding towards the development of the educational system. His leadership marked a memorable trend. His most memorable strategy was the…...

" (Anon.)
Sentiments, such as these, are widespread.

Philosophies such as behaviorism assert that the environment compels the nature of a child. Biological perspectives believe that the child may be evolutionarily ingrained to act in a certain manner. 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…...

Plato's Educational Systems And Divisions Of Classes In The Republic
On "Educating Philosopher Kings," the in Republic, trans. Robin aterfield

(Oxford University Press, 1993), pp. 250-276.

Unlike the democratic society of ancient Athens, Plato's philosophical conception of the self and state is based upon divisions of education, politics, and social stratum, rather than unity. Of course, it should be noted that even democratic Athenian conceptions of the larger body politic were divided into Greeks v. Barbarians, omen v. Slaves, and that not all individuals received an equal education from tutors and public schools. However, the division of the self within the human person and the importance of categorization are reflected in Plato's discussion of the formulation of an ideal society within his Republic to an extent not found even in Athenian society of his day. (250-276)

Plato, it should be noted, wrote from a society where the division in terms of human categorization was…...

SAT
The educational system in the United States, with time, has undergone several upheavals. There are over 1000 colleges and Universities in the United States. These institutions of learning range from conventional degree colleges that offer achelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees. Others offer specific training geared towards a specific program. No matter what the level of a student intellect, training or career aspirations, there is a college that suits a student's need. In the last decade, strides in our abilities to communicate have resulted in several universities offering distance learning. Institutions such as the University of Phoenix offer various affordable degrees where the student never has to walk into a campus classroom. (ACT.org, 2003) Nearly one and a half million students take standardized college entrance examinations every year. This essay will explore the SATs.

ethics within the educational system is a very tricky path to navigate due to the consistent stream of variable behavior from numerous sources. As an administrator, it is important to realize that no matter what decision is made, there will always be some opposition to that stance. Therefore it is important to satisfy my own personal ethical agenda before adopting anyone else's. When dealing with issues it is important that I keep focused on what I believe to be right within my own guidance and values. Improving on this self-awareness and ability to stand strong when things get tough, will provide me the strength needed to sustain ethical battles. As a rule of thumb ethical issues will be dealt with quickly, openly and with reason and balance in order to fairly determine the right outcome in these types of situations.

Every recognized accrediting agency is expected to demonstrate that it has standards for accreditation and pre-accreditation that are sufficiently rigorous to ensure that the agency is a reliable authority regarding evaluation of the quality of the education or training provided by the institutions or programs it accredits. The standards, set by the U.S. Secretary of Education, must effectively address the quality of the institution or program in ten areas." (Commission eport, 2004)

Hence, the very goal of the accrediting bodies is to guarantee that every schools or educational facilities within the state or the country offers quality education and learning system that passed the standards sets by the Department of Education. Needless to say, those students from a non-U.S. country will have to be assessed first if the subjects taken and the schools they attended before are aligned with the standards of the schools in the U.S. before they can ask…...

Using Data to Make Educated Decisions: Comparing Educational Data Across State Lines
Unlike many other industrialized nations, the educational system of the United States exists in a relatively piecemeal form. There is a great deal of variation not simply between states in terms of teachers’ salaries and student test scores but also in terms of conditions which make it even more challenging to compare such datasets. This can be extremely challenging in the modern era, where evidence-based research and statistics are often used to make major educational decisions. Since the passage of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), statistical benchmarks have been used to compare school districts, despite the admitted challenges of doing so; teachers themselves may attempt to compare datasets when deciding the best area of the nation to pursue certification and to teach.
For example, in regards to teachers’ salaries, cost of living can be difficult to compare from state to state.…...

Summary Educators’ compensation is based on their academic qualifications and their experience in training. As the times change and the demand for high educational performance grows, a confusion arises on how to implement the necessary changes. Educational administrators are mandated with the responsibility to affect change in their areas of specialization. The public is equally interested in better performance from the educational institutions although they are barely informed in the assessment strategies employed to gauge performance. The old system in the USA where the teachers were remunerated based on their experience and performance orientation has been recommended as a more appropriate strategy.
Plunkett (2002) suggests a change in the mindset and cultural orientation is necessary to foresee bring forth the improvement required. However, he cautions that all the stakeholders must be committed to instigating the reliance on performance measures.
The routine of remunerating teachers based on education and experience has over time proven…...

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 and educate children about independence and autonomy. According to the research, "schools train children to be employees and consumers; teach your own to be leaders and adventurers. Schools train children to obey reflexively; teach your own to think critically and independently" (Gatto 155). Encouraging them to engage in learning material that goes beyond the simple curriculum offered at most public schools.

98). The need for ongoing research to identify optimal solutions in a given setting is also made clear by the reliance on experimental methods to measure options. The efficacy of the scientific method is well established, of course, and it is not surprising that many educators are drawn to this super-philosophy as a way of formulating effective solutions to convoluted problems. For instance, Glickman and his colleagues add that, "The use of trial and error in a laboratory setting is the key to evaluating the outcome of action. Therefore, experimentalists do not view knowledge as absolute or external to human capabilities. ather, knowledge is a result of the interaction between the scientific person and the environment" (p. 97).

The limits of multiculturalism in practice are also visible in the treatment of Canadian citizens and immigrants who have dark skin color. According to Kelly (1998), African Canadians are routinely "racialized" and "othered" (that is, they are put outside of the dominant group). The manner in which African Canadians are unable to become fully-fledged Canadians even if they are born in Canada was succinctly explained by Marlene Nourbese Philip, an African Canadian essayist: "Being born elsewhere, having been fashioned in a different culture, some of us may always feel 'othered,' but then there are those -- our children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren -- born here, who are as Canadian as snow and ice, and yet, merely because of their darker skins, are…...

People are diverse learners in various ways. Here are a few examples:

1. Learning Styles: Individuals have different preferred learning styles, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. Visual learners learn best through pictures, diagrams, and visual aids, while auditory learners grasp information better through listening and speaking. Kinesthetic learners, on the other hand, learn best through physical activities and hands-on experiences.

2. Sensory Preferences: People have different sensory preferences and sensitivities. Some may have a heightened sense of touch, taste, smell, sight, or hearing, which may affect their learning. For instance, individuals who are visually impaired may need alternative methods, like Braille....

Thesis statement: Education plays a crucial role in the transmission of culture as it not only imparts knowledge but also shapes values, customs, and societal norms, ensuring the continuity and preservation of a society's cultural heritage. When crafting your thesis statement on the transmission of culture through education, consider exploring how education serves as a vehicle for passing down traditions, beliefs, and language from one generation to the next. You could also delve into how educational systems are influenced by cultural norms and values, ultimately shaping the identities of individuals within a society.
