Primary succession

The school year was almost over; we’d be in fifth grade soon. My friend Will and I, both good students with families very active in the PTA, were given an assignment we were happy with. We were excused from class to collect things needed to go into storage. We had to collect textbooks, extra supplies, and the over-head projectors in each classroom. We were given a push cart and the elevator key and sent on our way; the principal didn’t care how much we collected in a trip or how many trips it…

Would you believe me if I told you that in most states kindergarten is not mandatory? Unfortunately this is true. Many kids that are of kindergarten age are not required to go to school until 1st grade. If you’re like me, you can see a problem with this. “Early learning is extraordinarily important because we know that the sooner kids start learning, the better their chances of long-term academic success.” (Williams). There is so much learning that needs to take place at this age that when…

The sexualization of children and what schools can do about it. There are several components to sexualization, and these set it apart from healthy sexuality. Healthy sexuality is an important component of both physical and mental health, fosters intimacy, bonding, and shared pleasure, and involves mutual respect between consenting partners (Satcher, 2001; Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States [SIECUS], 2004). There are many examples of the sexualization of…

An elementary school student arrives at school on time every day and prepares for another lecture or lesson on math, science, english, or history, goes to the lunchroom and the library goes back to class and waits on the bell to ring for the school day to end. Something was missing from the child’s school day, the young student had no way to release his energy or time to go outside and actively play with other students. Elementary schools should have recess implemented into the everyday routine…

For the required writing assignment I felt that the piece by Anna Vallayer-Coster, Still Life with Lobster, was the painting I wanted to review. The piece was completed in 1781by Coster. The focal point of the painting is the Lobster. When discussing focal point it is actually defined as the point where the artist has the prospective viewers’ eye go immediately upon first viewing the work of art. In this painting, Anna Valler-Coster uses complimentary colors. The definition of complimentary…

What we enjoy as a child shapes who we become. For example, what we read as a kid might affect what we like to read today. Or for some people, it could be completely different. It is fascinating to see how your interests change throughout the years. By thinking back through the years about the types of books you have read, you can see what got you where you are today. When I was really young, my parents would always read to me; even when I couldn’t understand what was going on.…

three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours free nursery education for 38 weeks of the year or 570 hours. Early year’s education takes place in a variety of settings including state nursery schools, nursery classes and reception classes within primary schools, as well as settings outside the state sector such as voluntary pre-schools, privately run nurseries or child minders. In recent years there has been a major expansion of early years education and childcare. The foundation stage…

Primary research entails collection of original data specifically for your own objectives. You would collect the data for your needs in research. The primary data is collected by you directly from the research. This data could be in the form of responses of people to questionnaires, interviews, surveys, and observations (OWL, 1995-2015). Furthermore, it is usually informed by secondary sources such as surveys by the government or other companies. Disadvantages of using questionnaires: • Like…

The methodology selected for this article involves a collective case study of hyper-segregated public elementary schools in Connecticut from 2010-2014. The cases selected for analysis consist of 131 elementary schools identified as hyper-segregated using the Sheff Standard. The Sheff Standard considers a school hyper-segregated if less than 10% or more than 90% of a school’s student body are Minority. For the purpose of this research, the 131 elementary schools identified using the Sheff…

Bernard Bailyn and Gary Nash - have argued their interpretations of historical data and documents based on a few primary sources. While Bailyn argues that it was personal and political creeds, along with political power-struggles, that caused the revolution, Nash’s theory that it was a combination of social injustice and certain rattling events is much better supported by the primary sources. Gary Nash of the University of California Los Angeles has continually researched what exactly…
