Lauber's Summary Of Elementary School
I really enjoy Lauber’s analogy of elementary school siblings when discussing the responsibility of believers giving correction. This analogy really spoke to me because it reminded me of early years filled with minimal responsibility, a simplistic outlook on life and a excited viewpoint of faith. I can remember running around in children's church viewing God as the coolest dads ever, and being a christian as an exciting venture; I was lucky to take part in. However, as time went on questions, pressure, responsibility and expectations began to creep in. Causing me to change my once enthusiastic outlook of christianity to one of duty and standards. This change in outlook leads to the question Lauber purposes within his writing; what is the less

    How Schools Shortchange Boys By Gerry Garibaldi

    In the essay, “How schools shortchange boys,” by Gerry Garibaldi, I agree on boys tuning out in a “newly feminized classroom.” Girls may out number boys in graduating from high school with a diploma, but boys give up on school, because they don’t want to be like girls. “Girls are calm and pleasant,” while boys are aggressive and are rationalists. Since girls just do what they are told and write what they need to, for example a project. While girls turn in their assignment days in advance, boys demand when they were given the assignment and act in a disruptive manner. A female teacher might take this as being disrespectful. The disapproval of a female teacher “has a powerful effect on male psyche.” Males squirm from the disapproval when they…

    Doing School By Denise Pope Summary

    In the book Doing School, Denise Pope, the author and a Stanford Graduate with a PHD in curriculum and teaching, claims that students are no longer learning anything about the subjects they take, or learning the core values/behaviors that the school is supposed to teach. They are in fact, learning the values/behaviors that schools despise and are not retaining any of the information taught to them. The reason they are not learning the correct values/behaviors, or retaining any information in school is because of the grades or in her words the “Grade Trap.” The “Grade Trap” is the idea that in order to get a good future you have to get good grades by using the values/behaviors that the schools despise because they will do whatever they can to…

    Summary Of Thriving At School

    Reading the article, Thriving at School, was incredibly inspirational as a future teacher. I have heard amazing faith stories of teachers who would stay after school and pray for every student by walking past their locker. There have been teachers who pray for every student on their rosters. What a great way to reflect on the day that you have had or prepare for the day to come. Terri Trepanier states that, “Praying is the only thing I know to do to maintain my sanity and prepare myself to stand firm for this demanding calling.”…

    William Andrus Alcott Confessions Of A Schoolmaster Analysis

    Concrete records are available concerning the success of Webster’s speller and those like it with little children. What is surprising is that perhaps the best testimony concerning its success came from someone who spent massive effort trying to remove the Webster speller and those like it. He was one of the change-agents of the period, William Andrus Alcott, an associate of Gallaudet’s and of other change-agents of the period. His cousin was A. Bronson Alcott, who went to Pennsylvania about 1830 with William Russell, the Scot activist editor of the American Journal of Education, to work for government schools. In 1840, A.…

    Simone Weil Discipline

    Any approach to work deemed “good” by the classroom should be applied just as successfully in all facets of life, personal or otherwise. Weil would respond that devout students’ “deep purpose should aim solely at increasing the power of attention with a view to prayer” (59), and they should “take great pains to examine…attentively…each school task in which [they] have failed… [to] acquire the virtue of humility” (59-60). If the instrument of work is an accomplishment in the classroom, then failure will never be present. Weil argues that a student’s deliberate focus on their errors will lead them to a virtuous life, one that does not align with an impartially successful lifestyle. The academic student becomes an antihero to the religious student, striving for success yet growing morally bankrupt throughout each successive act of their performance. Conversely, the religious student will appear to fall short of their intelligent counterpart while bolstering their intimate connection with God. They become the truly dedicated actor, devoting themselves to their performance through sustained, intense attention to every task they are given. And in this lifelong concentration, students who love God will always have a religiously fulfilled…

    Elementary: Education and Children

    “On April 9, 1965 Congress enacted the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) (P.L. 89-10), the most expansive federal education bill ever passed.” “It is significant to note the bill was enacted less than three months after it was introduced, as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty.”2 “Title I of ESEA reflected the presidential recommendation by providing that school districts with heavy concentrations of low-income families be the chief recipients of "compensatory education" benefits.”3 “Over time Title I of ESEA has become an important source of funding for local school districts.”4 “Generally it’s designed to aid school districts that have a high percentage of disadvantaged students.”5 “More specifically, the goal of the many programs funded under ESEA/Title I is to raise academic achievement by providing support for school-wide programs or for assistance to individual students.”6 “This Act also provided a mechanism to hold schools accountable and increase equality in education nationally.”7…

    Critical Analysis of Two Primary Schools.

    A critical analysis of the All Saints Primary School and Liverpool College Prep School websites. All Saints homepage immediately stresses the importance of learning together and demonstrates the emphasis that is placed upon religion within in the school. Their mission statement is presented as being “All Saints is a community where God’s light in each individual is nurtured and loved, allowing his spirit to shine in each one of us within our Catholic environment”. This is in contrast with Liverpool College which instead chooses to focus upon academic attainment on its homepage, stating: “High academic achievement is our primary aim and our results in national tests show that our standards are some of the best in the city and far above average in mathematics and English”.…

    Child Guidance

    In this chapter Ellen G. White discusses the preparation needed to raise a child. The chapter begins with the important key that a child’s first teacher is the mother. “During the period of greatest susceptibility and most rapid development his education is to a great degree in her hands. To her first is given opportunity to mold the character for good or for evil,” says Mrs. White. She says that the mother, along with every other teacher, should be qualified to use it to the best account. Just the introduction of this chapter sparks self-evaluation and reflection. The mother alone holds a great responsibility. It is even considered a sin to assume the responsibilities of parenthood without such preparation.…
