O'Neill's Debate On Education
.... just assume that everyone is raised in the same back ground as him.
Charles Darwin did not create gravity but he did believe in evolution. The
concept that we were originated from organs to monkeys then humans. In church
we stray away from that kind of talk "that is the devil trying to score your
mind" that's what they would say.
O'Neill says "I broke the rules of this time-honored gam when I
presented my English-composition students with an 86 question test the first day
of class." Know that all .....

OBE: The Restructuring Of American Society.
.... development of career skills. With the
exception of those who did not apply themselves, the system worked.
Today America's educators take a new approach in the classroom. The
focus of education has moved to measuring what students can do, rather than what
they understand. This is the core principle of Outcomes Based Education (OBE).
An outcome, by definition, is something that follows as a result or consequence.
So OBE then, is an approach to education where the end result is the most
important fac .....

Political Correctness In The Classroom
.... unsupervised environment.
Something that used to be considered good clean fun has become a
constant frustration to teachers and parents everywhere. Many educators on
recess duty who have observed children at play have come to believe that rough
play which might look innocent can and often does lead to real violence. The
goodness of teaching political correctness in the classroom is its ability to
protect our children from violence, discrimination, and the unfairness that
exist in this world.

Primary Education & Post Plowden Legacy
.... teachers' and pupils' ideas of what constitutes worthwhile work. The
author sets out to define 'the meaning of work' and in doing so draws our
attention to differences between 'pleasurable work' and 'labour'. Workmanship,
it is argued, has been replaced by unskilled labour and people now work as a
means to an end seeking enjoyment through other avenues such as hobbies and
recreation.
Teaching methods and school ethos' in general are seen as outmoded and alien to
the cultural and social influences .....

Private Schools
.... oriented than public schools. Private
education provides students with a broader education that accepts diversity.
Public education, however, does not have as much diversity due to strict public
control that tries to avoid offending others. Private schools are considered to
be more experimental because they try and accept new ideas faster. The American
public generally seems to support private education, according to this position.
The second position of chapter three favors public schools. .....

Public School Finance: Prospectus Paper
.... occurred on Monday, November 28, 1994. At that meeting
Marvin Stokes, Superintendent of Byng Schools, proposed that the utility
companies be assessed at 25 mills and that commercial properties be assessed at
20 mills. This would generate around $100 million in new revenue for Oklahoma
schools. Eugene Chitwood, Okemah County Assessor, suggested that public service
companies be assessed at 23 mills and that commercial properties be assessed at
15-19 mills. This would generate around $50 million in ne .....

Scholars
.... though I carry a heavy load of classes I have found time for extra-
curricular activities. I have been involved in golf, Science Olympiad, math
team, Business World, T.E.A.M.S., and I have been involved in various band
functions. I also have had a part-time job at the local grocery store since the
summer after my sophomore year. I usually work approximately 20 hours a week
during the school year.
With the education I will receive while attending a world-class
university I am sure I will have a positive .....

School Uniforms
.... fitting in, build up students self-esteem, and
augment student moral. Parents, teachers, and students agree that wearing
uniforms would decrease arguments that begin over expensive clothing and
sneakers. School systems hope uniforms will help to eliminate gang violence
caused by students wearing rival gang colors. Uniforms would also prevent the
wealthier students from picking on their less fortunate classmates because they
can not afford to dress the same. Although no evidence confirms that the
unifor .....

Sex Education: Does It Really Work?
.... By looking at the problems sex
education tries to solve, we can improve the sex education programs by putting
the problems in order of importance. This will prove that teens having sex at a
younger age is the reason for the failure of sex education in this country. To
counteract this problem abstinence should be taught to children under the age of
16. Then when the children reach the age of 16 they need to be taught AIDS and
condom education.
AIDS and other STDs are an important reason we have sex .....

Should Homosexual Ideas Be Taught In School ?
.... as
to learn history. It just enriches one's knowledge, and the one who benefits is
himself. For this reason, setting up a homosexual course is surely advantageous.
Beside the contribution of knowledges, a homosexual course can also
prevent people from misunderstanding homosexuality. There are many people in
the society who do not really comprehend the nature of homosexuality; therefore,
they make fun and discriminate the homosexualists. This is an unhealthy
condition. The solution of this is to .....

Sometimes A Shining Moment: Good Teachers/ Bad Teachers
.... of
high school. I thought she would be a nice person to have as teacher, but I
never knew that she would be the best teacher that I ever had. I first noticed
that Mrs. Oehler was a special kind of person when she came over to my desk and
out of the clear blue she asked me about my story I was writing for her class. I
was surprised to here her say “so Matt how do you like you story so far”. She
did not ask any body else in the class, just me. It was those little things
that she did that impressed me. .....

probation.
In addition to the above criteria, the student must demonstrate

Student's Rights
.... "WOW! That sounds great! The School Board really trusts me as a
free-thinking individual to respect people and be respected. I love this
school!" But wait. Before we all stage an "I love Cheryl Wilhoyte" love-fest,
let's take a look at what these "legitimate rules" are, particularly as they
apply to freedom of speech, expression, and something they like to call
"material disruption of the educational environment."
The first item on the list is literature, specifically a student's right
to post it. .....

Teacher Certification
.... for state certification of teachers. Most states require their
teacher institutions to establish a teacher education program that includes
coursework and fieldwork. The coursework includes those courses that prepare a
student to become a professional teacher and those classes that include major
and minor fields of specialization. Fieldwork, which is probably the most
important of the two forms of requirements, involves the individual interested
in being a teacher going out and observing, practici .....

Technology Is Changing Education
.... advantage that has come to be essential to stay in business.
Therefore, education must also use technology to improve the educational process
instead of simply applying it to existing structures. School systems often
consider acquiring an enterprise computer network, but justify its purchase by
applying it to routine administrative tasks, or take period by period attendance.
Although these tasks are important, they only represent a small part of what
technology can do for an educational institution. .....
