In books like The Glass Castle and To Kill a Mockingbird, parents give the argument that the language and ideas portrayed are inappropriate. In contrast, the American Library Association and the Library of Congress argue that all books have something that can be learned from them. Literature is frequently banned and/or challenged by churches, parents, schools and teachers for being…

In my letter to Mr. Woodlock, I was able to incorporate all three elements of rhetoric: ethos, pathos, and logos. I used ethos by adding a study done by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, which shows that physical education classes are beneficial to students in many ways.

Teachers are trained to communicate with students in a way a parent might not be able to.

For instance, an abusive parent may refuse to have their children sent to a foster home. Social workers should provide information relating not only the rights of the abused children and…

across the country. Parents and children, regardless of any age should feel safe at all times, knowing that a certified teacher is in the classroom. A precise way to be safe would require the teacher’s to be certified in CPR or the technical term cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If CPR certified, teachers would be able to perform specific duties on children when they are in danger, such as loss of oxygen or not breathing. First aid and the Heimlich maneuver are two topics teachers have lack of…

Requiring just one additional math or science class could give a student the time to fully understand the topic and develop a passion for it.

Home Advantage is an insightful and compelling book as Annette Lareau considers the means in which parents are able or sometimes unable to shape their children’s educational experiences. Lareau draws on the theory of social capital first discussed by Pierre Bourdieu, to develop the argument that social class (independent of ability) does affect schooling.
