“Why I chose to attend a HBCU School.” I believe my college experience will be both exciting and life-changing.

The correct way of raising a child? Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld’s essay “Why I love my strict Chinese mom” is a response to the all the negative feedback her mother had gotten for her essay “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.

Personally‚ I have beef with people that ask me a million and one questions to begin with. So to go as far and question my decision on what I want to for a living‚ is asking for the hands. Here are things education majors hate being asked or told! 1. Why do you want to be an education major? Obviously‚ we are asked this all the time. From the moment we apply to our dream colleges to the day we finally get the job. However‚ I feel as though people are asking this in more of a disgust or sarcastic tone

What I’ve seen happen often times (especially in… yup‚ you guessed it: the education reform movement)‚ is that intentions start out good but the sword starts to swing the other way when money‚ power‚ and statistics are valued over the lives and humanity of students. “Kids first” and “For the kids” becomes merely rhetoric‚ as people jump to enact radically dangerous and untested policies that do
