Evolution Theory should be taught at schools.Whenever various debates have taken place in parts of the country regarding whether evolution should be taught in schools‚ I have always observed the situation with a degree of skeptism; the education I received never attempted to dissuade us from learning about evolution‚ and while none of my classes ever taught evolution with as much depth as Ernst Mayr attempted to convey in What Evolution Is‚ both systems taught it as a fact – one that we took for

beliefs held by different people in a multicultural society. The religious issue in public schools has always been touchy. Some argue that religion should be taught in a secular way in public schools to limit the separation of students. Regardless whether the religion is being taught secularly or not in public schools‚ religion should be taught to children because they’ll be learning about the origins and histories of different religious societies. This might let them see all religions as part of the

How the Grinch Taught Me Morals As a child‚ my favorite book was One Fish‚ Two Fish‚ Red Fish‚ Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. At about 4 years old‚ I can’t imagine I saw anymore into that book besides the many different kinds of fish described. However‚ as a more mature adult‚ I can now see what Dr. Seuss was trying to impress upon children‚ the acceptance of diversity. Principles of ethics are shown to us frequently in picture books such as those by Dr. Seuss. However‚ as we get older‚ these medias

The purpose of public education is to educate children and prepare them for adulthood. However‚ it should not be mandatory. Although a lot of the skills taught in school are useful‚ it is should not be the government’s choice to make for millions of children. The reasons that children do not want to attend school could fill an entire page. However‚ one main reason is that they are placed in a judgemental atmosphere with strict deadlines‚ and basing their intelligence on their ability to read‚ write

“ A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.” -Gloria Steinem. Feminism should be taught the right way‚ because many people are saying the complete different opposite of feminism. Feminism means to be equal to men‚ like women want equal treatment like men do‚ they want to do the heavy lifting and want to protect loved ones instead of a man “doing all the work”. People nowadays are changing the entire meaning of feminism which makes me feel enraged because

Basic things everyone should be taught in middle school‚ math‚ reading‚ perhaps some history. However‚ the reality to many public education students is that among these classes we find religion. For quite some time‚ all public school students had to pledge allegiance to the flag‚ sing the anthem and pray.

They believe it’s only good for teaching children how to shoot guns and encouraging them more to play with them‚ but that’s far from the goal. It teaching children that firearms are that can injury other as Sacco states “guns can and will kill them and any individual they point them at” (Sacco 1). In order to learn gun safety‚ the child

Kids across America all compete in many different kinds of sports. Whether it be soccer‚ baseball‚ football‚ hockey‚ basketball‚ track‚ and many more. From what I have been taught in school‚ only the winner and second and third would usually receive medals for their accomplishments and success in their certain sport. While I am still encouraging kids to play sports and be active and fit‚ people should not be rewarding kids for just participating in a sport or even getting last place. Teaching
