Today, we met as a class and considered some of the over-arching issues related to education and schooling in terms of reform.
Those ideas included:
Dual Language Schools Daniell
Single Sex Schools and Classrooms Liesl
School Choice Emily
Positive Behavior System Danielle
Year Round School Keri
Home Schooling Cedric
At-Risk Education Cari
Afrocentric Education Kevin
One of my goals this month is to constantly ask why: why is dual language schooling criticized? why do we no longer use the term "at-risk" or at least no longer use it as much as we used to? why does school choice challenge the core fundamentals of our democratic society?
As we proceed, I encourage you as students to ask the same types of questions. For better or for worse, I am pretty comfortable saying there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to finding what works in schooling.
[Why do I use the term "schooling" as opposed to "education"? Is there a difference? Should there be?]
