Gifted education

career up to that point I had never been challenged quite like I was in this science class. I had a teacher who loaded the homework high and gave very challenging test, to which I had not been prepared for. But knowing that I was not a person who was gifted with the talent of a photographic memory, to succeed in this class I was going to have to work hard, every day inside and outside of class. The late nights, hours of homework, and the amount of stress caused by this class was what made me…

Although there are currently about sixteen million students enrolled in American colleges, college educations are still inaccessible to many people—like Erica, Tyree, and Fatoumata. Recently, the Culinary Institute of America (CIA)—along with other institutes—has gifted the possibility of a college education for students in need of scholarship money by granting them millions of dollars. Besides impressive grades and tremendous athletic ability, culinary…

originally passed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 that was named the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This law that was passed by President George W. Bush was designed to help improve student performance across America. President George W. Bush once said, “Clearly our children are our future, and too many of our neediest children are being left behind.” (U.S. Department of Education, 2005). The intent of this act is to help disadvantaged children improve academically. However, the…

According to Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education is also globally significant as it promotes a healthy economy, prevents the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, and creates a population that is educated enough to recognize and prevent corrupt governments. Perhaps the most selfish reason for a country to invest in education is the fact that an increase in Educated people can be extremely beneficial for a country’s economy.…

Education “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” said Martin Luther King, Jr. But is intensive and critical thinking the true goal of education? There seems to be a hidden agenda that schools have to socialize students to prepare them for life as an adult. Education is a key factor in society for preparing children for the future. More learning happens in school than learning…

asset. They always told us that music class was always the best part of their days, and the enthusiasm that they brought to performances and rehearsals pushed the rest of us in the class that much further. This is another special element that music education continues to bring to the academic table in a very unique way. Sadly, most students with special needs will never be able to learn advanced mathematics or read beyond an elementary level. Many have poor social skills as well, and the…

for many students, college can be extremely demanding and strenuous. When a student has other things going on outside of school, their college priorities can be put on the back burner. Lives are volatile, and that can affect one’s performance in education. It is easy to get caught up in life and to forget the responsibilities of college. However, do “hard lives” justify excessive absences, rewrite opportunities, late papers, and/or plagiarized work? Being that, some students claim to have a…

“Have faith in yourself.” The words traveled steadily and smoothly in the thin air until they reached my ears. I tapped my foot as beads of sweat rolled down my face. I was in my anxious state again. My Spanish teacher, reading my signs of unease, sat in her chair trying to keep me calm as she waited for me to recite the capitals of Venezuela. It was all or nothing. Anxiety has been my constant companion since childhood, an inner demon I fight on a daily basis. For years, I struggled to maintain…

Children in every country discover the world through science and engineering. The United States is known around the world for its education system, but compared to many other countries, we fall short in educating scientists and engineers. One important reason that we are so behind is that we do not persuade our female students to pursue career paths in (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Females do just as good in their grades as boys do, but girls lose self-confidence as they…
