  • An Analysis Of Alison Gopnik's 'Baby Once More'

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    Apparently babies, while exploring about themselves, are constantly experimenting with the outside world. Gopnik analyzes her research and comes up with a conclusion: “If we want to encourage learning, innovation and creativity, we should love our young children, take care of them, talk to them, let them play and let them watch what we do as we go about our everyday lives”. In addition, new studies have shown that the best way for a baby to learn is letting them explore on their own. Adam Grant, who makes an excellent point in his article “How to Raise a Creative Child. Step One: Back Off,” suggests that, even if the parents aren’t “[shoving] their values down their children’s throats,” children are simply held back by a seemly harmless systematic way of education. Grant points out that the “genius” babies, who are taught to achieve great academic standings who are considered talented by the society, tend to end with a “whimper” career. Furthermore, he explains that when children are striving to achieve adoration from their teachers or approval from their parents, they stop being original after figuring out the most rewarded action to proceed whenever they are facing a new challenge. With this in mind, the biggest benefit of being a baby is that they are always going through a first time. The luxury of being inexperienced belongs to the children. Children are naturally growing as individuals that are unique and creative which is why I, as an artist, strive to be a baby. To put it another way, when babies are in a movie theatre (and not crying out loud), their big puffy eyes are quietly observing the new environment — the dimmed light that has the colors they have never seen, the roaring sound that delivers the characters they have never heard, and the striving emotion that

  • Music in Our Schools

    1947 Words  | 4 Pages

    In most recent years, schools have been fighting to keep music programs alive in school systems across the nation. Some schools believe that due to budget factors, music should be cut out of the academic program, to save some money. But what is widely unknown is that schools that have good music programs do better in areas of math and sometimes reading. A high tech music program called Kodaly, was instituted into the schools of Hungary. If a person were to look at the school today, there are “…no third graders who cannot sing on pitch and sing beautifully” (Dickinson, 1993, p.1). Also, the students of the Hungarian schools academic achievement in math and science “ continues to be outstanding” (Dickinson, 1993, p.1). Another report shows that schools that spend 20% to 30% of their day on music (or the arts), have the highest academic achievement (Dickinson, 1993). One study was conducted involving first and second graders at two Rhode Island public elementary schools to show the effects of musical training on academic achievement. In this study, 96 children were used between the ages of 5-7 in eight first grade classrooms. Four of the classrooms were used as control classrooms, which received the standard amount of musical training; forty-five minutes of music that alternates weeks. The other four classrooms were called “test arts“ classrooms. These classrooms received an hour of music per week. After seven months of this training, the students were all given a standardized test. It was then concluded from the tests, that 77% of the “test arts” classes “…were now at grade level or above in mathematics, as compared to 55% of those in the control groups” (MENC, #1). This clearly shows that if ...

    As children, we are exposed to many new and intriguing elements. One of those new items of exploration is the element of music. When children are brought home from the hospital and are crying without end, mothers and fathers sing to them in order to calm them down. Before putting them down to sleep, a lullaby is a common practice of parents. Songs are also very evident in children’s television shows, movies, and even books that have buttons that make music while reading the book. At a young age music enters into the grasp of children and as they grow and mature music has an even bigger impact on their life. Three pieces of music that are examples of childhood music are “Brahms’ Lullaby,” “Tse Tse Kule,” and “Nobody’s Perfect.”

    The Importance of Arts Education Jane Alexander, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), once said, “Many children are missing out on something which gives their education context, gives their lives depth and meaning, and prepares them to be the future workforce.” This “something” that she spoke of is music and art education. Unfortunately, she is entirely correct. We are currently seeing a dramatic cut in arts education curriculum in our public schools due to the limited amount of time and funding. In many cases, budget cutbacks mean arts education cutbacks.

  • Effective Schools

    1713 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the book Introduction to Teaching: Becoming a Professional, Kauchak and Eggen (2014) identified schools as social systems and wrote, “Social systems work effectively when their components work together to meet their goals” (p. 181). The components listed were the staff and faculty members of a school, the physical building of the school itself and surrounding areas, and the curriculum. The characteristics of an effective school such as its optimal size, good leadership, high collective efficacy in teachers, teachers involving students in learning activities and lessons, frequent assessment of students by teachers and continual feedback from teachers to students, safe and orderly environment, and positive parental and community involvement may all be grouped with these components. For instance, the staff and faculty members of a school include teachers and the leader. The physical building itself and its surroundings include the size of the school as well as the parents and community surrounding it. The two previous components can both be associated with a safe and orderly environment. Plus, the curriculum is related to interactive instruction and the monitoring of student progress.

  • Arts Classes Should Be Mandatory for Schools.

    875 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” -Pablo Picasso. This quote is pretty straightforward. It says how all children are artists and how they grow older are not an artist anymore. A child’s drawing can tell so much about what they are thinking and feeling about their surroundings. They see things differently from adults and teens because when they are drawing or doing some sort of art they are not told that it is a “bad picture” or what ever they are doing is “not right.” They don’t have a limit upon their thoughts and ideas, but when they grow up, they do. Starting from the first day of school they are taught about the wrong things and the right thing. As we grow older there are more classes that have right and wrong answers to a question like for example math. We learn to follow the steps, use the formula, and get the right answer but because of these classes we forget about the arts. If the arts are forgotten then student’s way of expressing what they feel is taken away. Which brings more pressure to students in classes like math, physics, geography, and etc. That is why schools should make arts classes mandatory because arts classes help students build their artistic and creative skills, makes them better learners, and encourages them to find other ways of expressing their thoughts.

  • Child Performers? Of Course!

    769 Words  | 2 Pages

    Child performers are beneficial to society. The issue here causing controversy is whether or not child performers should be able to perform. With kids who compete in sports at stake, laws shouldn’t be telling kids to not follow their dreams. This debate is very important to be considerate about because there are many different types of child performers and they all do their performances differently, so someone’s point about child actors could not apply to children competing in sports. So now, think about the last time you watched television. Maybe you were watching the Olympics, or maybe a show that had kids in it (like Modern Family, for instance.) Did you know that any person under 18 in those programs would be a considered a child performer? Yes, even some competitive figure skaters would be considered child performers.
