America's Sex Education Is Failing Our Students - 5 views

  •  
    This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

    I agree that in many ways our sex education can and should be a lot better. i found this to be insightful thank you, good find!
  •  
    Sex education tells the bare minimum and it's normally directed towards the males. I believe that our sex education system should be more about how to be safe, how to protect yourself and others, and it should be more inclusive.
  •  
    I agree sex education should be and can be more better. Every one deserves better information and to be more inform.
  •  
    I would also have to agree that there is a lack of sex education and it could be better.
  •  
    Sex-Ed could be so much better in many parts of the U.S. The fact that states that teach abstinence only have higher rates of unwanted pregnancy shows that the lack of sexual education is detrimental.
  •  
    I agree with the lack of sexual education in U.S schools. There definitely needs a push to educate the younger generations on how to take care of themselves and prevent problems for them later on.
  •  
    I took Sex-Ed in high school and it definitely taught me a lot about things I was clueless about but some of the information was very contradicting like stay abstinent but be safe if you do.
  •  
    I think that Sex-Ed should be available to all students since so many teens just don't know how their bodies work. I've never even had the option to take Sex-Ed, but I think I know enough about it.
  •  
    I agree with this article and how students should be allowed to take Sex-Ed in order to be informed of their own bodies. It should also be just as important as keeping the opposite sex safe as well.
  •  
    I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.
  •  
    It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

Education Is Social Justice - 1 views

  •  
    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.
  •  
    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.
  •  
    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  •  
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

    "Question: What percentage of students with disabilities are educated in regular classrooms? Response: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), enacted in 1975, mandates that children and youth ages 3-21 with disabilities be provided a free and appropriate public school education. In fall 2013, some 95 percent of 6- to 21-year-old students with disabilities were served in regular schools; 3 percent were served in a separate school for students with disabilities; 1 percent were placed in regular private schools by their parents; and less than 1 percent each were served in one of the following environments: in a separate residential facility, homebound or in a hospital, or in a correctional facility.

COVID-19 Impact on Arizona Students Education and Economically - 4 views

  •  
    Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.
  •  
    That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

The Miseducation of the Masses; M. Shannon Hernandez - 0 views

  •  
    Our educational focus is misguided and centered around test based performance instead of creating a truly well-rounded education for youth. ¨Common core¨ teaching is built around preparing the student for higher education; however the majority of these students need career-based skills, not college level skills. The focus is too much on college and too little on career.

The Role that Residential Schools Play in the Socialization of Deaf Children - 1 views

  • This heritage is passed on from one generation to the next via the residential school,
  • Most schools for the deaf use some form of sign language (Padden & Humphries, 1988).
  • 78 residential schools for the deaf or deaf and blind in the United States
  • Parent/Infant program administered by the school provides much needed services until the child is ready to attend
  • child has access to role models who are Deaf.
  • Hearing parents of children who are deaf seem to have greater reluctance about sending their children because they do not want to be separated from them (Scheetz, 1993).
  • Parents who are Deaf themselves often choose a school for the Deaf over local schools because of the opportunity for their child(ren) to participate in the life of the Deaf community and culture
  • Students who are deaf and who attended mainstream schools must continue to prove their allegiance to the Deaf culture if they have chosen participation in adulthood (Reese, 1996).
  • Deaf students who are mainstreamed miss out on the feeling of belonging that individuals from the Deaf culture associate with their residential schools,
  • Mainstreamed students often are singled out in many respects.
  • The students are exposed to deaf adults with various types of careers

      the author is biased in their writing and offers a biased perspective of this
  • the curriculum of the typical residential school tends to be less rigorous than that of other schools (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
  • parents tend not to participate in their child's education to a sufficient degree
  •  
    The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

Education Should Be Free for Everyone - 2 views

  •  
    Information can readily be absorbed when it is relevant to human purpose. The proper focus of authentic education is not ingestion and disgorgement of information like trained seals clapping their flippers on command but a development process that leads to critical thinking and life-long learning skills.

    I agree, many other countries already have free education. I bet the wage gap would definitely benefit from the country having a free education system in the United States.
  •  
    I agree with this I think education should always be free. Everyone should be able to get a decent education even if they are not financially well off.
  •  
    I feel there would be more to benefit from having a higher population of educated individuals. These people would have more to contribute to society and the economy, so there would be more to gain in the long run.
  •  
    I agree with this education should be free. Lots of people don't go to college for the fact that they cant afford to go. President Biden has canceled student loans which I think was really good of him to do. I know people who are in debt due to this.
  •  
    Education overall has so many social issues carved into it, cost being one of the major ones. Even just cutting down the cost would help. but we are one of the most expensive countries to attend college in. Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.

School to Prison Pipeline - 1 views

  •  
    Illustrates some facts regarding the 'school to prison pipeline' metaphor. More schools are adopting policies that make students interact with police more and more. This then causes students to be more likely to go to prison.

  •  
    I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

Get Answers: What is the Common Core? - 0 views

  •  
    The goal of most educators is to have students achieve major goals in school and proceed on to college and a career with the foundation that is provided in schools. The state has approved a list of standards of education, also called Common Core. Teachers use these standards in the classroom and test the students to discover if these standards are helping the students learn. The students will take a standardized test to evaluate on how well the students have learned from the Common Core. If the students cannot achieve these set goals, educators and teachers will have to revise the strategies to teacher their students the Common Core.

Accommodations for Students with Special Needs - 0 views

  •  
    special education rarely sets up special lesson plans for the students thinking they can learn anyways.Teachers then have to take the time to go through and make those accommodations. This seemingly little accommodations can take a lot of effort but they allow students to have higher success rates. The rest of the article shows examples of accommodations that can be made for special needs students.
  •  
    Lesson plans that are put into place for a student with special needs is followed to the goals that are put into place during a placement meeting or IEP(Individualized Education Plan). This allows for the student to reach the goals that are put into place and if they're not being met then another meeting is scheduled to find a solution or different goals.

Children with Disabilities Face Discrimination - 0 views

  •  
    Children with special needs or a disability have the right to an education and to go to school. In this article, it goes over that in New Orleans, families with children that have a disability are facing a huge problem. Schools are rejecting these students, which is discrimination. The schools that they are sending the children to aren't equipped to teach most of these children, either.
  •  
    I know in Peoria, AZ a lot of high schools such as Liberty and Sunrise Mountain have special education classrooms for students with disabilities so that they are able to learn at their own pace while still taking in useful information and progressing throughout their years of schooling. I feel as if every school should have programs for these students. Just because they don't learn at the same pace as others, does not mean they should not be able to get an education.

Financial Aid and Undocumented Students - 0 views

  •  
    In this article it talks about Undocumented students, which are children who came to the U.S at at young age illegally and continue to live in the U.S. Within the article it brings up many topics that DACA students might have questions about, such as if they can receive Financial aid or if they will have to pay out of state for college. I learned from reading that DACA students are not able to receive FAFSA but however they may be eligible to receive other funding for school such as college aid or state aid.

4 gun-related incidents at AZ high schools prompt call for metal - Arizona's Family - 1 views

  •  
    This article talks about four different high school shootings that happen in Arizona. Students are bringing guns to school and are found inside their vehicle. Rumors on social media have been reported to the police thta a student was suspected to bring a gun to school.
  •  
    Even coming from somebody who carries, I think schools are right to punish a student for having a gun in their car. One because its not allowed, and two because its not allowed! Keep it at home.
  •  
    I completely agree with students being punished for having guns in cars at school. If it is against the rules then there should be consequences. In my opinion, it is the same has taking a gun to a sporting event or in a hospital, if it is it allowed it is simply not allowed.

NEA - It's Time to Push for Free College. Education is Key - 2 views

shared by tif2171863 on 22 Sep 17 - No Cached
  •  
    I think this is a great topic. Since, we are all in college and know first hand the expenses of college. This article argues to push for free college. He talks about a college in Georgia where they have scholarships for free college. I think this is rather interesting!
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    This is an interesting thought however, I feel that too easily the system would get bogged down. Also, the money to pay for this free college would have to come from tax-payers. In reality I don't see how it would work. I know in Germany college is free IF a student has a certain score on a standardized test, so that the government sees the student as a worthwhile investment. It sounds harsh, but it works. I think in America too many things would cause that rule to be derailed. Also, Germany has as much smaller and homogeneous population, so that works better.
  •  
    I am a person who is all for free education..in theory. Like Amanda, I do not believe it would be beneficial to provide the United States with free education because we as the tax papers would suffer. However, I do wish the government would make it so that we are not in such crippling debt once our education is over.
  •  
    As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.
  •  
    I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.
