They establish this by putting a greater emphasis on students that attempt to excel, even if at a slower pace, rather than prioritizing the ones at the top. Thus, in the Scandinavian culture, education focuses on instilling ideas of equality and collectivism in

The experiences and stories of residential schools have stayed a secret for a long time, but not anymore. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Pledge of Allegiance in the Public School System The Pledge of Allegiance has become a major issue for students, teachers, parents and lawmakers. The original intention of the pledge was not to stir up trouble, but for a celebration of Christopher Columbus discovery of the new world.

Cheating in the American School System In America, cheating in the modern educational system is widespread and prevalent. In fact, most students do it or have done it. Cheating in the classroom has increased as colleges have become more selective and the pressure to get admitted to a big name university from parents has increased.

Each individual’s mind works in its own way; no two minds think exactly alike. So the golden question is why teach every mind in the same manner? Some people learn slower than others, while others pick up things before they are fully taught, there is no real way to increase your learning speed, there is only a way to increase

However, this tradition did not last long due to rising
