https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly In what ways do schools advertise "making wishes come true"? Comment with a specific example and reflect on whether or not the school was able to achieve it. en-us 2019-03-04 13:46:18 UTC 2024-05-17 15:23:54 UTC hello@padlet.com avtonioatkins https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/337890749 One way that schools advertise "making wishes come true" is by offering courses in fields where they have no prospect of employment. The course can sound exciting and appeal to their interests at first, but without proper research, students can find themselves graduating and not finding a job at all. ]]> 2019-03-05 13:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/337890749 datkinsloyola https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/337996762 College institutions have been accused of providing inaccurate job placement rates, using questionable recruitment practices, misrepresenting their educational benefits, and giving inaccurate information about accreditation. Many students are sucked in by the appeal of the fake stats and later find out that their programs are not accredited at all.]]> 2019-03-05 16:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/337996762 jlwilder7 https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338161068 I have experienced an online school advertising you can get your teaching degree online for the state of Maryland. I therefore did the program and did not find out until the very last possible minute that they do not actually allow you to get certified to teach in the state of Maryland. I had taken and paid for a bunch of classes from them and found out too late that it was all for not.]]> 2019-03-05 22:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338161068 nicole_l_brown2 https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338202671 An advertisement I believe many of us see in our schools is data about our students. It's admin's way of "advertising" our strengths and weaknesses. If an area of our school's data seems lower than average, our school comes up with "fake" ways to improve data. For example, the 50% rule at my school has gotten out of hand. If a teacher wants to assign a 0, there is an 18 step flowchart you have to follow before assigning that zero. (I know this sounds ridiculous, but I've had the flowchart e-mailed to me numerous times). Because of this grade inflation, It's a fake advertisement our school is sending out about our students and their achievement data. ]]> 2019-03-06 01:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338202671 sarahbuck784 https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338661712 So I love how they try to say/show what a school breakfast looks like, I only see Honey Buns, flavored milk, muffins, breads, sugary cereal, etc. I have NEVER seen a student bring a breakfast like this, I would want to eat that...]]> 2019-03-07 00:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/338661712 https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339112123 The school lunch poster shows this amazing looking meal of a taco, oranges, salad, beans, and milk. I have never seen a meal that looks like this served at my school. I have seen tacos served, however, they did not look like this at all. I would want to eat this lunch, not the ones served at my school.

They might as well have cartoons with kids in a class with students using a method and lightbulbs over their head. Every program is always introduced as a miracle worker to have students achieve more. I think this is why so many teachers ignore the hype because they realize that it will be gone at most in a few years. Why would you waste your time investing in a program that will be replaced with another shiny red apple of knowledge at next year's beginning of the year PDs? ]]> 2019-03-09 16:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339576111 scinerd1 https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339616786 My school is literally selling the future promise of fame to students. We love to tout our famous alum as proof that stars are born in these hallways. And they are! But not everyone makes it. Not everyone wants it. Students do not always really internalize the amount of work and dedication that is required to actually make. The advertising says you can be a star, but it doesn't give you the fine print.]]> 2019-03-10 00:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339616786 meron_ogans https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339655810 2019-03-10 10:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339655810 wplunkett https://padlet.com/rfalloni/rikn5mpb17ly/wish/339705509 I agree with others that school lunches and breakfasts have been advertised all over our country as nutritious and healthy.
