Philippa Foot, Emerita Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Los Angeles, has been studying and writing about the moral implications of killing someone versus letting someone die for many years. She also explains to us the difference between the negative and positive rights of a person and how negative rights and duties are more stringent than positive rights and duties. I shall be looking at this theory and explaining how it applies to certain cases. Before we can discuss these rights and how they apply to these situations, though, we must know what they truly mean.…
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is the new standard for driving the creation of curriculum. “Moving from the previous state standards to the CCSS requires fundamental shifts in the way teachers teach, the way students learn and are assessed, and the way leaders lead.” (Fratz, 2013)…
The reporting structure is a very important tool in an organization. This structure is a chart that serves as a roadmap of management levels and positions. Every business has a chain of command and it is structured uniquely, depending on the organization. The structure of an organization, if not built correctly can destroy the organization just like a building with poor architecture. The blueprints clarify and build a strong foundation in which to grow or build an organization. Chipotle is a Mexican Grill Restaurant in the fast food industry that started out with one location in Colorado back in 1993. Today it has just more than 1,400 locations in the United States, Canada, England, and France. The structure of this organization has had to change and adapt to the growth of the business over time. Like a majority of businesses and organizations the vertical organizational structure is similar with multiple levels of hierarchy. At Chipotle, the top of the pyramid is fulfilled by the board of directors whom have the ultimate responsibility of making decisions for the entire company (Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., 2010). At the bottom of the pyramid there are the store managers, assistants, shift managers, and employees completing the everyday operational tasks that brings in the money. Between these two levels there are district and regional managers seeing over the many locations spread out across America and beyond.…
Now in our society, the demands and expectation for students to have a higher education and be more advance has elevated. Students should be able to mastered their basic course like Math and English which leds to the question whether Common core should be considerate in student’s education from K-12 grades. Common core develop a set of standard that every students should exceeds or at least met. This allowed the students to see where they are placed and what they needs to improve on. However, many people, especially parents oppose the idea of Common Core. They dislike the facts that parents ’t able to help their child who is struggling on their homework.

One of the controversial topics of these recent years is now engulfing the education establishment. Very few people fully understand the implications of Common Core State Standards in the United States, but experts like educators, journalist, scholars, etc., who are in association with other teachers and researchers lead the way in making sense of them. Recently, though, new studies have emerged to provide data on the little-known truths from myths of Common Core, often referred to as a better way of standards and assessments than No Child Left Behind era. Common Core is a set of “higher standards” focusing only in Mathematics and English Language Arts in that way students are supposed to be well prepared for college or work fields. Common…
Common Core Puts Creativity Back in the Classroom” I have problems and hands-on activities that I like my students to experience to help them understand a concept or relationship,” says Cambridge, Massachusetts, high school math teacher Peter Mili. One of his classic activities is taking a rectangular piece of cardboard and asking the students to cut from each corner to make a box. They learn that different sized boxes need different lengths in cuts, and then they fill the boxes with popcorn and measure how much each box can hold. 2. Common Core Gives Students a Deep Dive. When students can explore a concept and really immerse themselves in that content, they emerge with a full understanding that lasts well beyond testing season, says Kisha Davis-Caldwell, a fourth-grade teacher at a Maryland Title 1 elementary school. 3. Common Core Ratchets up Rigor. The CCSS requires students to take part in their learning and to think more critically about content, as opposed to simply regurgitating back what their teachers feed them, says Kathy Powers, who teaches fifth- and sixth-grade English Language Arts in Conway, Arkansas. 4. Common Core is Collaborative. The Common Core allows educators to take ownership of the curriculum — it puts it back into the hands of teachers, who know what information is best for students and how best to deliver that information. 5. Common Core Advances Equity. Cheryl Mosier, an Earth Science teacher from…
Our nation is lagging behind in academics compared to other nations, such as South Korea and Japan. In an effort to achieve higher academic levels to compete effectively with other nations, Common Core for secondary education was developed. Common Core (2016), according to its website, is designed to prepare students for the future by providing standards in which a student should meet by the end of each school year. Some support the Common Core because it promotes a higher level of comprehension. Others oppose the Common Core because it does not sufficiently improve comprehension skills and college readiness. The Common Core should be opposed because not only it demotes appreciation for reading, but also does not sufficiently prepare a student…
Education is taking a step backwards instead of achieving new goals, and the ones in charge approve. The common core initiative, a recent controversial topic in government, is aimed to increase performance in school. However, multiple facts and students themselves are proving otherwise. The system is infiltrating this new standard that will only lead to a drawback in the future of America. There are multiple aspects that parents should consider before allowing the initiative to take further control in their children’s school.…
Pamela Engel who is an author of an article about the biggest problem of Common Core is that she states “The tests are so intense, taking the average student eight to ten hours to complete. And teachers are under so much pressure to prepare their students to do well that instruction becomes less individualized and critical thinking in students can be hampered”. This shows that not only does it affect students but also teachers. This also shows that the way that these tests are designed are becoming a problem to teachers and students.…
Imagine a world where a child goes to school just to be force-fed a curriculum focused on English and Math, just so they can pass a state test at the end of the year. That is the world that K-12 public students are forced to face with the Common Core Standards (CCS) initiative. The Common Core Standards is a “set of information and skills that students are expected to master at each grade level” (Greenblatt). The initiative should be revoked or dismissed from the United States public school system as teachers are uncomfortable with the teaching curriculum, it does not place emphasis on creativity or other common school subjects, and the teachers just teach the test through the curriculum.…
