My Interest In The Catholic University Of America
.... like to major in architecture. Although it means a lot of hard work and detication I believe I have it in me to take it all on. My parents want me to have advantages that they never had as teenagers. It means a great deal to me to have them be so involved with my future, so more than anything I want to make them proud of me. I want to show them that I can do whatever I put my mind to. I want to be sucsessful in the path I choose, this way they know they have raised a strong and independent person. .....

Standardized Testing As A War
.... tests prove? If a student does poorly on these tests,is she a failure? Standardized tests try to inequitably equate every student in America, how can one test justify every student’s wisdom?
Life is a race against the clock. Just as a solider waits for his time to strike, the educational system is based solely on the amount of time in the classroom. Teachers don’t have time to teach. Students don’t have time to learn. Administrators don’t have time to solve problems. Just think of all the time .....

Importance Of Higher Education
.... associates the major emphasis of higher education with getting a good job and increasing income. A survey conducted by the American Council on Education found that obtaining a job is by far the most important benefit that individuals associate with going to college.
In part, I too agree that job attainment and improved earnings are an attribute of higher education. The disparity in annual income as evidenced by the graph in exhibit 1 cannot be overlooked. However, while not always quantifiable, th .....

The Study Of Psychology
.... the experiment, if we were given more time a more throe job would have been done. The class showed me that surveys are not the most accurate means of finding your experiment. When trying to conduct a survey there are so many variables to cope with it is incredible. My group showed ways around surveys in that it is easy to prove your point; you just give the survey to who agrees with you. Surveys are black and white and if you draw a conclusion from one, it may not be accurate and most likely is not. .....

Cultural Diversity: Campus Climates And Classroom Instruction
.... Reflecting on this interaction, the university should change its curriculum and campus environment because campus climates ultimately influence the effectiveness of a diverse democracy and, therefore builds a mutually respectfully community.
I would like to see more diversity courses offered at the campus that encourages students to understand the concepts of culture and their ramifications, so students can use these for insights into and active engagements within a specific culture. In this effort .....

History Of Public Schools
.... Mann, and Henry Barnard, devoted much of their time to convincing citizens of the importance of education. The insight and dedication of colonial leaders to the movement for tax-supported public schools has lead to the triumph over opposition from American citizens and has resulted in the expansion of public education.
As time progressed, the need for free public education became more evident. A law was passed giving all adult white males the right to vote, but many of these men were uneducated an .....

Bilingual Education Is Beneficial To Students Abilities To Assimilate In The Mainstream Culture
.... preserve their cultural heritage, contributions to the American economy, and diversity.
The development of a students language and preservation of their culture is essential for the upward mobility of today’s youth. There always have been some immigrants who viewed themselves explicitly as the preserver and savior of their languages and heritages. Since the late 1800s, ethnic minorities in America have been consistently characterized as culturally inferior. Their language right has consistently been th .....

Uniforms Will Make Schools A Better Place
.... that, schools are actually starting to take action while trying to avoid problems. In addition, uniforms are spreading to the suburbs, where this is a cheap way to make schools safer, just by making students wear these uniforms. This shows that, it’s possible for all students to be able to find a way to get these uniforms to schools. It also shows that, were there are places with a lot of violence and hopefully their uniforms could helps these students. However, uniforms could be a pricey engagement. Th .....

Homeschooling: The Begining
.... my brain.
I need to mention here that we are one of those narrow-minded, right-wing, sold-out, fundamental born-agains!! So we attempt to ask our God about the choices that we make in life. We did just that, and after some real soul searching, just began having a 'peace' down deep in our hearts about this crazy homeschooling thing. Hard to explain, but it just 'felt right'.
So, our decision was made. We would begin our daughter in 2nd grade the next fall.
How excited we were as we attended the much .....

Lockers In School
.... teachers would not have to worry about students bringing the wrong folder to class, or even forgetting it. The students would have as many supplies needed in order to be successful in class. This would make life easier for many students, instead of caring all of our folders and books we could just carry the ones that we need the most. The schools GPA would raise a bit. If we had lockers, it would end up being beneficial for the school. If there are no lockers, it can lead to potentially serious back .....

Comparing Japanese And American Education
.... very involved and sometimes put so much pressure on their kids to succeed that they commit suicide. The Japanese also have very extensive entrance exams, not only in college but also to enter high school, witch are very important in the success of the students, and they must study for up to three hours every day in order to prepare.
Americas methods of education are not effective unless the pupils have the ambition to succeed. There is a portion of students who do not care about school and they still ar .....

The Ironies Of Education
.... the system teaches students to be passive, mechanical objects instead of teaching them to recognize and acknowledge their own existence. When this occurs, Freire believes that the students become prime targets for oppressors. The system presents oppressors with a "profitable situation" for exploitation because the "banking" concept turns its students into ignorant, powerless beings who simply adapt to the world as they have been trained to do. Hence this become an advantageous situation for oppress .....

Baby Project
.... eaten breakfast. But it is hard to brush your teeth and put on your shirt with one hand. Driving, also, is very difficult task with one hand too. I had my sister hold Baby with the key in it while I drove. Half way to school Baby stopped crying. Another bad experience is when the baby would make you up in the middle of the night. On the night I had it; I couldn’t go to sleep until it cried because I did not want it to wake me up in the night. So I went to bed after 2 in the morning after the baby .....

Learning: A Lifetime Of Experience
.... like fish and feeling sick to my stomach. This job as well didn’t last for too long.
Currently I am working at the Paragon, a mail order company, in which I answer the phone and take orders. I have been at this job for the past few years and believe me I pity the middle-aged workers whom rely on that place as a source of income. I can’t stand the place, but they are very flexible and I know I will always have a job, even though they don’t pay too well.
Working at the Paragon is where I first realized .....
