    Kenneth Cole Gets Schooled is written in a second-person point-of-view that gives the reader insight about “Teachers Rights vs. Student Rights” ( Sirota 759). The essay alone would be considered more of an evaluation essay instead of an argumentative essay. What makes Sirota’s piece of work more of an evaluation instead of an argumentative essay is the fact that Sirota is making a judgement about the “Teachers rights vs. Student Rights” (759). Sirota’s attended audience for his piece of work is towards teachers and students, but taking a deeper look into it, it leans more towards the school board directors. The authors purpose is to have the school board of directors to “unionize teachers” to help receive “better academic results” (Sirota…

    Gatto explain that school are “laboratories of experimentation on young minds” (232) that builds the students habits to be integrated into society, but if the students can break away from the status quo they can become geniuses. School are factories that produce simple-minded people to than be integrated into an industry. Many people in the past have not gone through our schooling system and are more successful than the common student. Our students are smart but we suppress their intelligence by placing them into the institution called school. There are students in high school that have advanced farther than the common college school student.…

    What Would Richard Wright Think? America would not be the America it is today if it wasn't for the millions of black people who helped build this country. Ever since the first slave ship arrived in 1619, it has been the struggles of blacks who built the country from the ground up. It took hundreds of years just for blacks to receive basic rights just as anyone else is privileged to in this country. America has come a long way since 1619, yet we still lack justice for Blacks to this day.…

    TEACH FOR AMERICA BACKGROUND Teach for America is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 by Wendy Kopp as part of her senior thesis project for Princeton University. Her idea was to recruit high-performing college graduates to teach in high-need schools with the goal of bringing more balance to the large inequities in education that existed within the American public school system (primarily the K – 8 grades). In exchange for two years of service, Teach for America (TFA) members would receive a paid entry-level teacher position within a TFA partner school and potential aid to pursue post-graduate education. In addition, they would gain immediate leadership experience within many entities: the TFA organization, the school they are teaching,…

    As the hard winds of New York City hit my face, I looked up in adornment at the giant gold letters reading, “American Girl Place” for the first time. I faced my father, his giant frame proceeding over my small nine-year-old one, looking into his eyes waiting for the signal that meant I could go in. He smiled at me, took my hand, and led me inside. A burst of excitement filled up inside of me as I walked in and saw the arrangement of dolls lined up inside a glass case. Learning from the helpful store worker that I could choose any doll I wanted, my eyes immediately fell on the American Girl Doll Molly.…

    According to Schiro (2013), the scholar academic ideology views the school as the institution responsible for the transmission of knowledge. The main goal is to persuade students into the academic disciplines which include core courses such as mathematics, history, science, and literacy (Schiro, 2013).

    Everything now a day is based off number, whether it’s ones SAT scores, standardized test scores, or most importantly, ones GPA. College students, and even High school strive to reach a perfect four point zero semesters, or even acquire high honor roll. Unfortunately, according to John Taylor Gatto, and his article “Against School”, achieving that perfect semester, or making high honor roll, doesn’t always translate to receiving a honest education, but rather just schooling. On the other hand, Kristina Rizga, the author of the article “Everything you’ve heard about failing school is wrong” paints the picture of a non-fictional, academically bright character that lacks when it comes to standardize testing.

    Introduction The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education has been called “arguably, the most successful, most extensive and most sustained example of radical or progressive education that has ever been” (Moss, 2016, p. 167). Drawing inspiration from theorists such as Montessori, Dewey, and Piaget, Loris Malaguzzi created a social constructivist approach, which envisioned learning as an active process. Under Reggio Emilia, children are seen as unique and capable individuals who co-construct knowledge with their peers, teachers, and environment through the use of a variety of materials/mediums. Curricular/Pedagogical approach The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education is named after the city in Italy in which it…

    Over the course of my seven years teaching high school social studies, I have had the opportunity to learn about the evolving roles and responsibilities of a school administrator from three amazing principals. Henry Kluttz, Kelly Withers, and Angelo DelliSanti have been excellent models for anyone aspiring to be an administrator. Having recently started my own journey towards this leadership role, my knowledge of what makes a great principal has grown exponentially. Having the opportunity to interview a pair of veteran elementary school principals through this assignment has been an eye-opening experience. Having spent the entirety of my teaching career at the high school level has left me with a limited understanding of how an elementary school functions.…
