Cooperative education

and my brother attended a private school, and were not really involved in much. Despite the fact that we were born into a Sikh family, we never really understood what it meant to be one. All we were focused on was studying and getting a good education. Education was the only thing that was important to us, we never knew there was so much more to life than just educational. Everyone around us also lived a busy life, we all had the same routine everyday. We would go to school, come back home, do…

I was born in China and came to America when I was 3 years old. It was really difficult for me to learn English. There are many reasons why people decide to teach aboard, like traveling, learning different cultures, etc. The main reason I want to go Korea is because I want to help people learn English. I believe the best teachers are the ones who have experienced the hardship of learning the subject. I know the struggles students are going through when trying learning a second language. I will…

Technology or Textbooks Have you ever sat down and wondered if technology has improved or lessened the learning scale of the education system? What determines this? It’s not whether or not the information is useful, but it’s the factors of our everyday lives in school that determine whether technology is really the best option. On average, students in the U.S. get about 15% of the teacher’s work time when needed and in the class room there are 30 students to get around to. Unlike the teacher,…

Praise or Not In the modern age, education is a freeway toward a successful life. Most students have found their methods to have high motivation and efficiency to study better. Family or teachers often praise their students for their good works, or simply just want to manipulate students for a certain goal. Is praise needed for a student in his school life? Many scholars now question our method to use praise, since praise has profound impact on students. In my perspective, praise is not dearly…

After all they do for us they still are overlooked by societal “priorities”. They are the base of education. They are the lineman that block for the quarterback. They are the producers of the genesis that make millions today. Yet, the average school teacher will only get paid $56,000 per year working with 21st century kids for around 843 hours a year. Nobody realizes the hardships a teacher will face when in the classroom until they become one themselves. Increasing the salary of a teacher will…

Issues in Education: John Holt’s “School Is Bad for Children” They say everyone’s opinions matter, but in an academic school setting, opinions are irrelevant. In John Holt’s “School Is Bad for Children”, the author addresses the problem of the public education system. Holt portrays the schools by saying that they kill children’s curiosity about life, and goes to show his personal reaction since he himself is a teacher and educational theorist. An analysis of “School Is Bad for Children” reveals…

College Dropouts In today’s society, dropping out of college is becoming habitual. After high school, many students have the choice to go to college, join the military, start working, or do absolutely nothing. Some students are persuaded into going to college because they’re told with a degree one doesn’t have to work in the service sector. This allows the student to have ambitions to go into a certain career that pays more than a minimum wage job. Also more opportunities open up to those who…

Recently, America has not produced workers who can compete in today’s job market. The reason why young adults have been having trouble competing in the job market can be traced to the United States’ educational system. Many countries like Finland, South Korea, and fourteen others have better educational systems than our own country (Huffington Post). Many of these countries also have longer school years than the United States. It is time to vicissitude our ways. Although every student enjoys his…

In today’s society, the amount of education a person acquires defines how successful they will be in life. For example, someone who acquires an associate’s degree might not find a job as easily as someone with a doctorate in the same field. However, the way a person is taught is commonly overlooked. The way a teacher educates and treats their students greatly affects the way a person develops. A person’s experience in school shapes the way they look at the world, how they think, how they…

This is surprising considering the incredible spectrum of ages that participate in the art of dance. Understandably though, there is extensive research regarding age-appropriate teaching in academic education. My recommendation for future research would be to do a longitudinal study applying research founded in a school setting to a dance context. Comparing the way students learn in various settings would establish whether or not age-appropriate academic…
