The program I choose is Charter School Program (CSP) which authorized by Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. And No Child Left Behind Act amended this program at 2001 year. It is administered by U.S. Department of Education at the federal level. Also, the department requires states to show adequate yearly progress (AYP) for various subgroups of students in reading and mathematics. The federal government strongly support the charter school program, one of the purpose…

Since the first established law for charter schools was passed in 1991 by Minnesota, charters have rapidly opened all over the country. The topic of charter schools these past ten years has been discussed plenty of times by politicians on how to better the education system. The heavy controversy surrounding charter schools revolves around its competition with the public school system. The opponent for public schools were private schools that offered accelerated education, although that education…

For the interview process, the two people that I interviewed were Martha Millison and Cecilia Rivas. Martha Millison is a school counselor at Green-Wood Charter School in Philadelphia and Cecilia Rivas is a CUA chief management supervisor. When both Martha and Cecilia came and spoke to our class, I was so intrigued by what they said that I wanted to know more about their work field. I especially found Martha job interesting because she works in a school setting and that’s where I want to work. I…

All immigrants should be required to learn to read and write English well, so they can have the same opportunities as everyone else. Living in America and not knowing how to speak English causes multiple complications. Some of the complications are not being able to read labels on prescription pills, menus in a restaurant, chemicals in products, and not understanding agreements in renting a house or in preceding surgical procedures. In the article from CNN, Kennedy proclaims, “Learning English…

Stevenson says that “high-flying charter schools” are not fair because the parents take initiative to apply the students to the schools, and they have to sign contracts agreeing to study, and have high performance. If the students don’t comply with the contract then they have to withdraw…

Introduction: Magnet schools are schools of choice that are part of the public school system. They were created for the purpose of reversing the de facto segregation that was happening in urban schools in the 1970s. The school and curriculum is often built around a theme. That theme may be a subject area like STEM or the arts or an emphasis on an educational program like the International Baccalaureate curriculum or the Advance Placement program. Magnet schools have no geographic boundaries for…

promise a large proportion of underprivileged minority students to move to charter schools with the help of vouchers. Unfortunately, implementing a school of choice program does not do what the advocates hoped for. Granted, some schools stay truthful in their integration policies, but the majority are not. “At the national level, seventy percent of black charter school students attend intensely segregated minority charter schools (which enroll 90-100% of students from underrepresented minority…

foundation of the school will be one that is community and family based all the administration, faculty, students, and parents will work together towards the goal of success for all students. As mentioned by the students and administration in the PBS film Charter Schools That Work, “The administration and faculty will do whatever it takes to help children learn and succeed.” Each day there will be a rotational selection for morning inspiration, which is a circle up where students are encouraged…

Because of charter schools’ inability to produce significant academic differences, the government should shift educational funding elsewhere. Research has consistently found little or no difference in the academic performance between charters and their public school counterparts (Baker). In a study focusing on seven charter schools in eight different states, five had insignificant differences in math and reading, and two had small negative effects (Briggs). In another study done on a large…

Dear, Point Pleasant Beach High School I would like to thank Beach's program for touring me around the school during the open house and Dr. Grosshandler for taking the time out of his day to discuss my possible future with Point Pleasant Beach and its amazing academic program. Beach has gained a reputation of producing intelligent students and sending them off to college. Being considered for a program with such a productive system brings a monumental amount of joy to me and my family.…
