Recommended: Integration in education

Magnet Schools are schools that offer special programs to promote educational excellence in a particular area, such as computer science, math, the arts, or foreign languages. These schools were originally created to attract students from a wide variety of districts to achieve integration. These magnet schools are able to overcome residential segregation patterns and are able to create a more diversified student population. The parents of the students usually pick the school that is best suitable for their child, usually one that revolves around their child’s talents or interests. There are more than 3,000 magnet schools in the nation and about 20% of U.S. students attend them. Many criticize magnet school claiming that they lure the best students and teachers away from city school and that they might even worsen stratification among schools by family income. In my opinion, I do agree that magnet school may lure the best students and teachers away from city school; however, it is the parent’s choice. Personally, if I had a child who could attend a school that focused on their talents...

    I have applied to Saint Ignatius College Prep because I think that it is the right school for me. Saint Ignatius is a place where I feel that I can be pushed to my limits to learn as much as I can as well as meet lots of new people. I love the esthetic of the school and how kind everyone is to each other. I believe that Saint Ignatius is the place for me because everyone is open to new ideas and others' opinions. Saint Ignatius is a place where I can excel in both learning and extra-curricular related activities. Over the summer, I took a classical mythology class at Saint Ignatius and I learned so much from Dr. Wood (the teacher). Throughout my time at Saint Ignatius over the summer, I learned so much about the school and discovered many more

  • Unequal Education in America: Urban vs Suburban Education

    2470 Words  | 5 Pages

    The gap between the nation’s best and worst public schools continues to grow. Our country is based on freedom and equality for all, yet in practice and in the spectrum of education this is rarely the case. We do not even have to step further than our own city and its public school system, which many media outlets have labeled “dysfunctional” and “in shambles.” At the same time, Montgomery County, located just northwest of the District in suburban Maryland, stands as one of the top school systems in the country. Within each of these systems, there are schools that excel and there are schools that consistently measure below average. Money alone can not erase this gap. While increased spending may help, the real problem is often rooted in the complex issues of social, cultural, and economic differences. When combined with factors involving the school itself and the institution that supports it, we arrive at what has been widely known as the divide between the suburban and urban schools. Can anything actually be done to reverse this apparent trend of inequality or are the outside factors too powerful to change?

    To begin with, “the great recession state school finance systems suffered an unprecedented reduction in general state aid, resulting in lower overall spending,” this would make the schools try to save money by doing budget cuts and getting rid of things that seem unimportant to the school. Students are being sent to schools based on their parents’ income “black or hispanic student attends a school where nearly two-thirds of their peers are low-income.” and “private schools continue to siphon off a significant share of children from higher income families.” Which comes to the conclusion if whether or not schools actually care about giving students equal opportunities for a proper education or if they only want students for their

    In reviewing the personal qualities that have influenced my career as a real estate developer, I would first like to identify those qualities that I have found to be foundational and which have served as guides for my life, both personally and professionally. These foundational qualities include honesty, integrity, dependability and competency. These four qualities are of the utmost importance to the success of one’s professional career and toward the contributed success of the organizations they work for. Looking back over my career, it is clear that these four qualities have led to the confidence of others in my work and, ultimately, career advancement. From the earliest point in my career, my ambition has been to be a real estate developer. The interest has been driven from the beginning by my entrepreneurial spirit, analytical capabilities, and decisive constitution – all personal qualities that lend themselves to a career in real estate -- and more recently by a strong desire to be an effective and creative leader.

  • School Choice Debate

    723 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the country, students and parents have access to additional schooling options through busing efforts, magnet schools, charter schools, open enrollment initiatives and tuition vouchers. At the most basic level, the contention lies debate to decide whether or not school choice should be an option. Is it a good idea or bad idea? Some experts feel that educational choice is a core freedom and therefore asking if it is a good idea is a mute-point (Fuller, 2002). On a deeper level of this debate are low-income families who seemingly have the most to gain from the opportunity to reach outside restrictions of their neighborhoods to access quality learning (Archbald,

  • The Importance Of Physical Readiness Training

    It is a place where they can feel protected and upheld. Sometimes the bad school performance makes the children feel that they do not belong to that world. It makes her feel that it is not able to keep up with the other colleagues. We all know how children without even knowing it can be cruel with schoolmates. Thus, a bad school performance already is reason for starting bullying against those who do not have good grades. The other children give them pejorative nicknames and isolate them from the rest of the students. This makes the school is torture for this type of student. They end up not putting up the pressure and drop out of school. Another critical point to highlight is the transition to the elementary school to middle school when the school changes the system of having only one teacher to have several teachers and rotations classrooms and colleagues. Sometimes the children do not adapt to this change and drop out of school. The type of school that the child and adolescent attending and the type of teacher they also have are crucial factors for student follows or not in school. As previously mentioned the school environment should be welcoming to the student. If the school is extremely rigid and not provide freedom for the student can feel the will to expose your ideas or even discuss (with discipline and respect) someone’s ideas in class, this school will not be a place where the student liked to spend half his day. Another important point is to have well prepared teacher. The school must have trained and motivated teachers to work. They need to be people that encourage students to develop critical thinking and to make even the most boring of subjects an attractive theme to develop in the classroom. In addition, teachers need to have the sensitivity to realize when a student is going through a period of difficulties and help you overcome

    Many people in today’s society believe it’s wise to send their children to private schools. In making the decision on whether to put children in public or private schools, they look to four main factors: curriculum, class size, the graduation rate, and cost. When people have to pay for something, their first thought is, “Will I be getting what I’m paying for?” With a private school education, the amount you have to pay is usually well worth it. Public schools offer diversity. Here students can find people who are just like them and can associate better. Wherever you live, you have to send your child to the closest school.
