According to the American SPCC, which is a bullying prevention group, “On average, 70.6% of young people say they have seen bullying in their schools” (Bullying). This causes many students to become violent. The NVEEE, which stands for, National Voices for Equality, Education, and Enlightenment states, “About 10% to 20% of children who become the target of bullying go on to perpetrate the same aggression as well,…

Residential schools were made compulsory for First Nation children to attend by the amendment of the Indian Act in 1884 into the closing decades of the 20th century.

I once helped on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition, and during the hike some children stole a shopping trolley from a Tesco, and threw their heavy bags into the shopping trolley. They then pushed the shopping trolley along the road with the bags in and took turns in pushing it instead of carrying the bags.

At Clackamas High School in Portland, Oregon, the school I attend, counselors and teachers offer a variety of foreign language courses to teach the culture and dialect. Students may take up the opportunity to achieve a minor or major in a foreign language, because they have a passion for it. Martin Espada and Richard Rodriguez, two men who grew up with bilingual hardships, portray the significance and passion they feel for bilingualism in their essays. Both authors base their support upon real…

Books, pencils, pens, paper, and homework are tools necessary to foster a child’s learning. However these tools only play a part in a child’s education. In order to truly succeed in school a child must also have the aptitude to understand the information given to them from a myriad of teachers.

It also ties back to the powerful role active learning pedagogies play in education. Martin Bickman, an advocate of active learning, lays out its cardinal impact on education in his book…

Sonia Nieto is a huge supporter of multicultural education, but she states that she is “concerned that they can be sued in simplistic ways that fail to address the tremendous inequities that exist in our schools” (Nieto 234). As educators, we need to work with these types of programs to ensure that they are truly helping improve the inequities in our classes. I completely agree with Nieto that this type of education needs to be firmly related to equal student…
