Project 1 Structures of Schooling by Allegiance Battista https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o Education in the News en-us 2025-02-10 20:10:34 UTC 2025-02-10 21:44:09 UTC hello@padlet.com I wonder what the impact will be for students who feel as though their hard work is being minimally awarded into just categories rather than feeling a sense of individual pride for their scholastic achievements. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323151877 2025-02-10 20:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323151877 Compared to the article about class rank, the fact that schools see that students pile on AP courses while not being interested in the course or having it be useful for a future career while causing severe stress, it is definitely questionable whether or not they are worth it in the first place. I think unless you have the opportunity and are driven by wanting to prep for college by getting some gen eds out of the way before you enter, maybe consider taking other classes or electives. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323152016 2025-02-10 20:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323152016 I don't think it should have taken COVID to really show how education needs a fixing. I think parents are right in the idea that every student deserves an individualized experience that meets their needs and makes them happy and we need to do a better job at highlighting opportunities outside of a stereotypical classroom setting because that is the only way students grow as people rather than a body in a classroom. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323160520 2025-02-10 20:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323160520 If I become a mother one day, I would hope that maybe our public school systems would have improved but if they don't and alternative schools are proven to be better, I would consider trying a non-traditional school. I am eager to see what other innovations in education we make over the next decade. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323166262 2025-02-10 20:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323166262 With the death toll from Helene, especially in this area, I can't imagine students ever returning to school, if they even had one to go to or teachers to teach or classmates to see. The emotional and financial trauma will follow these families and I hope that they are able to find a way to get their education back on track because climate and natural disasters should not inhibit their education and what is depending on it. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323179219 2025-02-10 20:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323179219 I think it is great they decided to use this tragedy as an opportunity to take field trips and get students outside and exploring because in a time where they have lost their school, being with classmates and their teachers is vital to keeping the relationship between the school community strong. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323190097 2025-02-10 20:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323190097 Food insecurity is a huge issue facing students across the nation and while this might be tough to implement, it's something that probably needs to be done and proceed throughout the country. Hopefully we have some changes in the DOE and this can be fought for so that American students don't go hungry in a world where education funds go to things other than actually providing students the meals they deserve. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323197827 2025-02-10 20:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323197827 I am disappointed that we aren't doing more to serve the populations that need food. If school is free to attend, why force students to pay for meals and then make them jump through hoops to get reduced or free lunch? I hope that we can figure something out because I think all students regardless of financial status should be eligible to be fed for free during the day. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323209006 2025-02-10 21:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323209006 While I advocate for parental rights, I wonder what can of worms this can open up and if parent-child relationships can be tested as well. I wonder how I would have felt in middle school checking books out of the library if every time I did my parents were notified, but as an adult I also would hope that parents know what their children are reading, so this seems like a muck. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323215364 2025-02-10 21:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323215364 I think using AI to help bridge the gap between the classroom and the parents at home is something I wish I had back when I was in school because I think sharing what is going on in the classroom and having innovative ways of sharing information makes going to school a more positive experience for everyone involved. allegiance09 https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323224026 2025-02-10 21:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/allegiance09/ul5hdqfdckzcm16o/wish/3323224026
