Are you worried about your exam scores? Have you ever joined in an after-class learning organization? According to the recent social research, 18% of the students who join in the after-class organizations for learn really get an improving result. But 68% of them did not improve their scores in school test. Even worse, the rest of them were no good than before. Some after-class learning organizations should be forbidden because they are not only useless, but also waste people lots of money. And what is more, we can learn well or better only in daily classes and they make students too exhausted to learn normally.
Those organizations are useless. Students want their exam scores to be higher, but as usual, after-class learning organization may not make them satisfied. Actually, such learning system do harm to students’ learning, on understanding and memories, because knowledge needs digesting rather than pouring into humans’ brains. As Yang Jin (August 2009 High School Education in China, Challenges and Priorities)says, “Education in China should change commonalities into indivi...
American society has started to take education for granted. Today it is so easy for most anyone to afford or to be accepted into a college that you wind up with people being here to socialize instead of learn and that leads to a decline in overall performance because it turns the atmosphere away from learning and into more of a four year party before the real world. Society seems to show college as a next step, almost if its a responsibility instead of a choice which hurts not only themselves but at the same time serving as a distraction for the people who are aspiring to do something better with their life. These dedicated individuals deserve better than to be forced into an environment where they are subjugated to a mass of people who would rather party than learn. The real students have enough to deal with as it is but forcing people to go to class would only exacerbate the situation forcing focus driven students to have important cla...
Throughout many years, education has played an important role in improving our minds and society. However, what many people tend to forget is that our education is not at the best it can be. Education is defined as receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university. Many people today questions whether or not our education depends on the people teaching it or if it’s the student’s responsibility to want to learn. "To what extent do our schools serve the goals of a true education?" Education helps people learn new things, but it can be changed. Although education helps students learn and plan for the future, it can be improved to help benefit students ahead of time.
The history of the school system in the United States shows that the standard for teaching was centered on meeting the challenges of both the Agricultural Age and the Industrial Age, and according to Duffy (2010), was a fixed approach to teaching, designed for sorting students rather than for learning, in order to educate large numbers of children and to determine laborers from managers. However, the Knowledge Age is requiring stakeholders to reevaluate the requirements necessary for educating our children going forward. This societal paradigm shift is large and pervasive, requiring institutions to co evolve in creating more customized approaches to organization design, serving customers, and providing services so that students can succeed in the twenty-first century Knowledge Age (Duffy, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to share a planned and an unplanned change that has tak...
...hildren 's independent awareness, rather than the outcome of a grade. While the American students are increasingly more adaptive in social context, they are deprived the capability to function in a mostly intellectual environment. In China, however, the lack of individualism allegedly encourages a nation that supports the government and does not fight against the original social norms and values. Instead of trying to create a well-rounded student, the Chinese education system focused more on the intellectual ability of the student. With an overwhelming focus on the academic skills, the Chinese students may be lacking in the ability to speak and think for themselves. These two education systems are polar opposites, yet it is hard to decide whether one is better than the other. The verdict on which education system works more successfully, depends on the student alone.
An educational system should not control its students’ minds; instead, it should be arranged in a way that builds the students’ success with a goal to lead a person to conquer his/her purposes.
...ting them choose their own groups to be in during class, as offering multiple ways to complete projects, different assigned reading topics, and etc. The student can only get out of the class as much as they put in. Even though the students may wish the teachers would give less homework or let them read Sports Illustrated in class, there is a fine line between academic learning that incorporates “street smarts” and academic learning that lacks on the academic part. Teachers must insure their students are learning the required material and that they are not taking detours from learning about topics and ideas that students need to be successful after college.
This article points out the flaws in our modern education systems. Students should enjoy school and feel as though they are learning important things in the subjects offered. The classes can be altered to tend to the interests of children, so they can properly express themselves. School should be preparing children to be mature, how to handle hard situations, and ultimately prepare them for their future lives. Overall, Gatto’s article has its flaws, but it can be used to help improve the education system for upcoming
Learning Organizations are vital in assisting businesses to operate effectively. In this rapidly changing environment learning organizations acquire knowledge and innovates faster, helping the organization to thrive and survive the changing environment. Businesses that establish a learning organization create a culture encouraging and supporting the employees learning, and take risks with critical thinking, and new ideas.
members of the government should help increase funding for afterschool programs. Students need after school activities. They are helpful to children developing. After school activities are beneficial to students' achievements because they can help children gain skills to do better academically, provides alternatives for getting into bad things, and gives structured time to work on social skills with peers.
Chapter one relates to class because of the opportunity cost and utility. An opportunity cost is defined as “what one gives up to consume a good or service.” The utility of an item is subjective and its “usefulness” varies. For the cheating school teachers, money or recognition is worth putting their
If schooling was used to its highest potential, then these pointless anxiety builders would be nullified, because practical learning for society has no standardized tests. In the real world, there are no scores given to you in order to separate the successful from the poor. These same tests also help high schools separate “gifted” students and those students who struggle academically. Programs like “Gateway To College” that garner students that “were all high school dropouts, kids who had walked out or been tossed out of their previous schools, kids with attitude problems, behavioral problems, drug or alcohol problems, [and] kids whose teachers and families had often marked them off as hopeless losers” may never exist without the constant guiding through of students in need (Broder 158). Programs alike the “Gateway To College”, also become quite successful in “[making] high school education more rigorous and ease the transition from high school to college or the workplace”, as 71 percent “successfully completed” the program (Broder 158-159). These same programs also further prove that high school students can successfully complete a course with a more societal-friendly
The largest educational system is in china there is a law that makes it mandatory that all Chinese students have nine year of education experience this law was passed in 1986. The importance of having an education is the key to success to be comfortable and abl...
The overall essence of education or knowledge acquisition is reflected in an axiom by Confucius which says “Tell me, and I will forget; show me, and I will remember; but involve me, and I will understand. Back then, it was clear that learning was a comprehensive process which involves passionate exchanges between students and their teachers; unfortunately this is not the case in most modern classrooms. Instead of the expected bidirectional communication between learners and teachers, in the modern learning environment there is a unidirectional system which involves the teacher incessantly hurling facts at students who, due to their passive roles as mere receptacles, have fallen asleep or; in the case of “best” students are mindlessly taking notes. This leads to a situation where knowledge has neither been conferred nor acquired.
Going to school and getting a great education is important for a successful future in today’s world. Years ago, many children did not go to school and many young adults opted to work instead of attending college. In today’s society, gaining a high level of education is almost always mandatory for many jobs. There are many changes being done to the education system along with new items and ways of teaching in the classroom. There is a growing amount of changes in the classroom such as technology, teaching time, teaching styles, and freedom of space.
As you can see the future for the education world is bright. There are many developments to make education more efficient, simpler, and equal for all from
