Intro To Uni Assign

In the article Heck no, you shouldn’t go the author Andrew Park discusses “it’s time for Universities to face the challenges of mass education”. The Government insistence on the collective concerns of peace, order and good government has meant that state projects such as schooling are seen in terms of their overall impact on society. In order to understand the growth of schooling all over the World special attention must be paid both to official policies and the changing nature of students’ lives. Abundant evidence that intellectual standards among University students are declining. Students are getting lazy and board. Why do we have to sit in these boring classes, listen to boring old people tell boring stories and learn about things that aren't going to affect us on a daily basis once we're finally out of this place? The attitude of many seems to be that education is a burden. But why does school have to be so bad? Is it the teacher? The school? The material? Every day in my other University classes I sit next to students who often complain about how boring a class is or how horrible the teacher is to listen to. Yet these people chose these classes, these teachers and this school! Is school that bad or are students just lazy? While one's attitude toward learning is important, what about the student's life at home or outside the place of learning? Are they encouraged to learn? Is it taught to them the value of knowledge? Have their minds been prepared for learning by their parents or the environment which they are in outside of school?
The answer to that is a resounding "No" sadly enough. Parents are influenced by what they see on media which in turn downplays educational value. Resulting in families that don't properly prepare children for a future on their own.
One has to be prepared by the parents and encouraged to then prepare themselves for learning. I just thought I'd point out that the parental role is vitally important in education. The answer is to provide non-repayable grants to students of ability whose means are limited. What governments provide to students in the form of need-based aid (loans, grants and loan remission programs) and non-need-based aid (tax credits, education savings grant payments and merit scholarships). We need a new system of universal education of the same kind as that which has proved itself so successful in the training of defectives and infants, but modified so as to be suitable for older boys and girls. We need a system of individual education. One of the wonderful things about this learning space (I mean this blog) is that it is built collaboratively around a shared interest. This is what James Paul Gee called ‘passionate affinity learning’. "Passionate-affinity learning occurs when people organize themselves in the real world and/or via the Internet (or a virtual world) to learn something connected to a shared endeavour... Creating engaging presentations and slideshows is an art that requires a lot of creativity and dedication. From the choice of pictures and graphics to the wording of text illustrating them, everything in a good presentation speaks to the reader’s inner eye and immediately hook them in and most of all communicate the message in a clear, concise and direct way. Creating good presentations also... “Learning is a dynamic process that consists of making sense and meaning out of new information and connecting it to what is already known. To learn well and deeply, students need to be active participants in that process. This typically involves doing something – for example, thinking, reading, discussing, problem-solving, or reflecting.” I don’t think Andrew Park has the right to judge anyone, everyone has the right to go to university no matter their intelligence or mental health…
For moms, the return to school and the desire to start a new career is often prompted by a divorce or grown (or older) children. With divorce, the thinking is, Now that I'm a single parent, I want to return to school so that I can earn more money. I have three children, moms have an opportunity to reconnect with a passion that may have lain dormant while they were busy raising a family.
Motherhood is not only the proverbial hardest job you'll ever love, as the slogan goes – it is also the hardest job you'll ever do. I love my daughter more than I ever thought possible and am lucky to have a kind, healthy child, but the reality is that motherhood is tough, especially when you are on your own.
I really do think it is because of the teaching methods students are failing and declining but students to can do things to make their school year a lot better. Learn about the school district, school boards (if relevant), parent teacher associations, and all acronyms accompanying these things.
I think things like this could help a student out with their education.
