1980's - 2000's "The Bottom Line" Review
One thing I strongly agree about in the section is how teachers are supposed to get invovled with students with their planning and projects to help them succeed. Teacher's main purpose of teaching is guiding students for the next chapter of their life. Whereas kindergarten students are prepared for middle school, middle school are prepared for high school, high school are prepared for college, etc. So getting students actively involved in real life activities and prepared for the real world helps them focus onto multiple paths down the future. In addition this would help increasing their learning in academics.
Another thing I strongly agree in this section is giving students more strict education and more work. As in today's time getting a lot of homework is a pain to do, but eventually students will actually learn something from doing it. If students were to get little homework, then they'll mostly won't be motivated as having tougher education will result in more knowledge.
I don't agree that the text is saying that america had a disadvantage towards education. The reason I say this is because majority of the book talks about the risk people made to get education in the US. Even if there was a weakness compared to other countries, the us was the first location to create schools and education. So in this case america shouldn't show any weakness because they're the ones who created it and should learn and lead the way.
Another thing I don't agree with is competing with other schools because the purpose of schools is to gain students a general knowledge of academics, not a competition.
One thing I assumed in this section was a sense of diversity of other schools working together to solved the issues of equality, but that wasn't the case. Instead it was a free for all world of whoever gets the best success getting better benefits and rewards. Another thing I assumed was the discussion of how money was corrupting the school system, but it was just the discussion and impact of businesses getting involved in changing the school. Would be pretty cool to see how the money corrupts the system in a bias class tier that gets more or less education.
One thing I can relate to this section personally is that I was once separated from my homeroom every week for a few hours to special education because I lacked the ability to focus, but at the same time I felt left out because I was a stranger to everyone else since I wasn't around, I believe that was the cause of being an introvert. As an introvert I never seem to have a bigger opportunity during my middle school years to make connections with long time friends.
Another thing I can relate to this section is doing hands on work instead of writing and typing papers on a daily basis. When I first took an art course in high school I was motivated into drawing because this was the first real life activity I felt like doing as a potential path. I put aside all of my work and just doodle during homeroom and on my free time because I had a goal and momentum to be something.

I agree with your response. Teachers' prime purpose is to prepare students for real-world challenges. More homework is little stressful for students, but give an opportunity to students to become a hard worker and knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteI agree giving students more strict education is a good idea . But giving more homework isn't such a good idea. They already go to school for seven hours, then piling them up with a ton of homework isn't fair. Some students already have a hard time at home with their family and they have their own responsibilities to take care of at home. They deserve a little leniency.
