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.

    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.

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.

Why Asian Education Is Better, and Why It Is Not - David Scott Clegg - 0 views

  •  
    The author makes a good comparison between American and Asian education systems and suggestions faults in each one. He proposes that a truly successful education is one balanced in intellectual development and social-emotional development. Until this is achieved, our education system will struggle to compete with other nations.

    "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.

  •  
    This article by Harvard University outlines the differences, issues, and adversities that people in "low-income" socioeconomic groups face when pursuing an education in urban schools, compared to suburban schools, and how quality education is the key to bridging the educational gap. Further, the authors of this article outline the educational gap by providing statistics and educated synopses of the plight that many minorities face when pursuing their education, in order to support their position.

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.

10 Reasons the U.S. Education System Is Failing - 0 views

  •  
    Editorial Project in Education of Education Week is a quality source for Americas educational awareness that uses it's articles, blogs, online chats "24/7" to help advance the quality of education in America. This article in particular explains what the ten most major educational issues are and the reasons they are contributing to a failing educational system in America.
  •  
    I like this article, even though it does show us why the education system is failing drastically apparently we don't know how to fix it. In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.

    While our education system is definitely flawed, many immigrants come to our country to pursue an education because of the quality of education available in the U.S. The big problem with this, however, is that "quality education" is generally expensive, or only available to the wealthy. With this in mind, how do our schools really measure up when comparing an urban, underfunded school with less-than-desirable educational quality to the "standard," as set by our society?
  •  
    I agree with this article in regards to what the issues are and how to address them. There isn't one magic solution, but I feel like better legislation and more resources going towards education can be a good starting point.
  •  
    I agree with many of the points and believe with the proper changes, and funding we can build a better education system. but also agree with dan that many come to america because we do have a great education system but most of it costs money.
  •  
    A lack of funds is defiantly a massive problem. If there's going to be a chance to fix these problems anytime soon, that should be a major one.

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.

Educational Rights Overview - 0 views

  •  
    This website discusses the rights of an individual to a free education. It also describes the law in which a person with learning disabilities in entitled to.
  •  
    Disabled children of the U.S have a right to public education without a cost to their family. Every school has to try to meet the needs of every child with disabilities by providing special education. This is a law that says that every child who has a disability has to be taught in a "least restrictive environment". Meaning disabled kids go to the school in their district and also go to school with children who have no disabilities. This law also states that a disabled child should be put into a class that they would have been put into if they were not disabled if possible.

Education Is the Key to a Better Quality of Life for Women - 0 views

  •  
    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

Public education - 0 views

  •  
    Public education has become a social justice issue and continues to not be funded appropriately. Education has become to be just a profit of money to the governor and legislators. It is not in there best interest to allow everyone to an equal education especially when it impacts the future.
  •  
    I find it sad that the US does not devote more funds towards Education. This is a field that I feel should be most respected and invested in.

    This is an example of statistics based fact that suggests an increase in education among women actually effects the mortality rate in children under the age of 5. Substantial educational improvement in women was also shown to not only improve health but also the status and roles of women in society.
