You mentioned that standardized testing creates pressure for students and teachers (McMillan, 2008) and I agree. As you mentioned, many standardized exams, especially in public schools in poverty stricken areas, use standardized testing to distribute financial resources. As a result, teachers are more likely to focus on information that student will be tested on solely. Thus, the student loses out on teachable moments and are restricted to only learning from certain materials and resources.…

To conclude my hypothesis was completely wrong and the fastest pipe was the small plastic pipe, which I predicted would be the slowest pipe. The average time the plastic pipe took to roll down the ramp was 0.86 seconds. The time was 0.01 seconds faster than the pipe that finished second, which was the steel pipe. The small plastic pipe had the smallest inertia, which was 0.000003 and finished first. Also the small plastic pipe had the smallest rotational and kinetic energy compared to the rest…

Children and adolescents attend school to learn. School provides us with information that will prepare them for the future. It helps them develop their cognitive, social, and physical skills. So how does art fit into these programs? This is the main question asked when schools face a budget cut, or just cannot find the funds. Art is almost always the first to get cut. Many do not see, or know the many benefits art programs can bring to a student's academic career. Schools that have art programs…

In the 21st century, parents wonder how they will send their children to college and children wonder what grades and scores they need to receive in order to attend their dream schools. This struggle defines the the importance of education today. However, the emphasis on education is completely incorrect. Instead of teaching young minds how to think, the education system is merely teaching children what to think. Both parents and students are going crazy with SAT scores and GPA’s, but they are…
