- 71: The Ironies of Education
- ... system of education oppresses man because it stifles his ability to think creatively, thereby resulting in his not being able to affirm his very existence. Therefore, the author argues that the "problem-posing" method of teaching is the only way to reverse the negative effects of the "banking" process, because it liberates men from oppression by enabling them to become "beings for themselves" (Freire 60). However, Freire then contradicts himself and ... students. In this piece, Freire states that the "banking" concept of education suppresses the cognitive abilities of students and tends to dehumanize them. Moreover, 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 ... become submissive, receptive objects. He argues that instead of challenging students, the "banking" concept actually turns them into "containers. . . to be filled by teachers" (Freire 58). Freire sees this to be particularly alarming because by teaching students to be apathetic, instead of actively challenging their intellectual faculties, schools make them incapable of acknowledging their very existence. As a result, the students tend to have a "fatalistic" view of the world, ...

- ... assist those who do not fully understand standard English or who loses interest because they feel that the language of their community is being ignored. This is not about racism; this is a method of teaching. "What you need to do is teach the child how to move from ebonics to standard English."2 said psychologist Robert Williams. Therefore, teaching ebonics' origins could help children understand the differences from standard English. This is not too far fetched when you think about how millions of people travel to other countries these days with little computers in ... needed to know.

- 74: Sex Education: Does it Really Work?
- ... also should teach teens how to use a condom and teach AIDS education. First, sex education needs to be taught in schools. Many parents do not know the facts about AIDS or diseases. Having parents teaching their children sex education at home is only going to put strain on the parents, and it will leave some teens uneducated about sex. Many parents would choose not to teach their children about sex ... to have sex with older more experienced teenagers. In a survey 75% of women had first intercourse with a partner older than themselves, and 51% of these partners were already sexually experienced (Sex Education 900). Teaching abstinence to these young teens would encourage them to say no. I also think that teens over the age of 16 should be taught condom and AIDS education. This would allow older teens that engage in sex the protection they need. It would decrease the threat of AIDS and pregnancy. The key to the age separation is that at some time eventually nearly everyone has sex. By not teaching teens in school about AIDS and birth control they would not have received much of the information they need to know about the risks of sex and how to protect yourself. First abstinence training ...

- 78: Improving The Literacy Of Amer
- ... interest and learning of the pupils. In this way the teacher has infinite power over his subjects. He can assign work, manipulate exactly what the student has to know for his class, and alter his teaching styles for different subjects. Traditionally little power is given to the student in the classroom setting. Often times students regurgitate memorized information in order to perform in a well in a given class. This allows ... up power to students, but that power is vested in the classroom community of readers and writers of which the teacher is an experienced member(24)." The teacher is certainly a key part of the teaching of literacy, but some of the teacher’s power needs to be dispersed to the students in the classroom as well. In essence the move toward students conducting more actively their own analysis of presented ... can serve to ignite learning. The way in which literacy is used within the community is established by the members of the community. Groups, or communities, of individuals therefore are a helpful tool in the teaching methods of literacy. For example, if a group is formed with one of the top students of the class and a mixture of the average and below average students of the classroom, then the ...

- 80: Will the Global Economy Help or Hurt The Next Generation of Americans?
- ... of Americans. One argument for this position is that our schools are not adequately preparing out students for the types of new work that will be required in the next generation. American schools are using teaching techniques that taught existed in the 1950's. Textbooks date back to the early 1970's. Requirements may have changed but our reaching techniques have not. Every year, students take the same courses with the same prerequisite: A good memory. True, they are teaching classes that are essential to get into a good college but are they teaching the skills that our future generation will need? Are students going to be able to problem solve? Are today's students going to be able to access tomorrow's information? Our schools teach American ...
