School

I’m planning to take up aviation once I graduate high school. So can anyone give me the FULL list of high school subjects (giving emphasis to fields of mathematics) that I need to be proficient at so I’ll be well equipped when I join flight school?

Thanks for the help!

You could actually be taking flight lessons during high school and that will put you a step ahead. If you figure out a school you want to get your degree from, then look at the requirements to get into that program. You’ll find your answer there.

You must understand that school is simply a social-engineering center that wants to dictate the beliefs of young children. Creativity must be halted to ensure that popular belief maintains and that people cannot see through the false facade of bankers, politicians, and many other severe issues.

Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) — Bloomberg’s Janet Frankston Lorin talks with Bloomberg’s Mark Crumpton about getting into New York City private elementary schools.
Anxiety over the recession is trumping the angst of New York City parents to get their children into elite private schools. Fewer children took entrance exams for private elementary schools, continuing a decline that began last year, as the economy hurt parents ability to pay annual tuition of more than $30,000.

I’m referring to primary and secondary schools, not universities. I’d like input from everyone, but I’m particularly interested in the answers of those who have attended schools in more than one country.

I ask this because as an American educator, I feel frustration at our unrealistic insistence on trying to get everyone to meet basic college prep standards, when not everyone is meant to go to college. I think this is why American public education tends to "dumb down" standards, as opposed to raising the bar of excellence.

I lived in Germany and they seemed to have a much better and realistic educational system than ours, but that was twenty years ago.

Canada and Iceland have excellent public school systems. Illiteracy is almost non-existent in Iceland. Actually Cuba has one of the best free public education systems in the world and has one of the highest litercy rates.

While I know a bit of the history, I was wondering if somebody knew more. Before public education was available, people tended to be educated at home (homeschooled) by their parents or private tutors or they went to private schools, often boarding schools. Public education became available and when schooling wasn’t mandatory, public schools were what the non-rich used. At some point, education became mandatory, but how is it that the public school became the default? Was there an encouragement on the government’s part? Was it the business side of schools that did it? Some other reason?
I wasn’t thinking specifically of American education, but American, Canadian, other places where public school is the default for the masses and anything else is seen as an alternative. For much of the upper class, private schools are still the default, or only option. I guess what I’m looking for is how did the masses come to see public education as THE way to be educated and everything else is an alternative? How come public school is not seen as the alternative to private schools or some form of home education? Is it just a question of money/class systems?
I suppose I should add the church schools in the mix of schools, too!

It just became the easiest way to go, and it was cheaper than other alternatives and allowed both parents to work out of the home. School is only mandatory between the ages of 6 and 16. Kindergarten got started because parents wanted childcare while they were at work, in some states they are now working on k-4 programs for public schools.

I am at college now studying the National Diploma Art and Design. I also study English Literature and English Language at home. I want to become an art teacher at secondary school level, and I was wondering what would be the best approach?
Any input would be helpful at this stage.

You could study an Art degree then do a PGCE after to qualify you as a teacher ) x

My sister’s graduation from medical school is the same day as my graduation from high school. My family doesn’t know which one to go to.

How important was your high school graduation? Would you care if your family didn’t show up to yours?

I think the high school graduation is a LOT more important. Basically the med school graduate is an adult and not so closely connected to the family in a lot of ways. Also more importantly they are a lot more mature and able to handle and accept that sort of disappointment.

My graduation was not too important really, it was a small school and a very small ceremony. but I would have been unbelievably disappointed if my immediate family didn’t come. The rest of the family like cousins, aunts, grandparents etc not coming wouldn’t have made a difference to me.

Due to the recession, our middle school will be cutting out all middle school sports next year. My school is a very athletic school, and most things are sports centered and sports related. Without them, school won’t be as fun or interesting, and many of the things we normally do won’t happen because without the sports, there will be no reason to have them (Pep rallies, for example). What can we do to convince the state or school system to bring back our middle school sports?

start a petition. make a page that explains why you should have sports and get a LOT of people to sign it. explain on the page about why you think sports benefits you. if you get enough people to sign it im pretty sure they would reconsider getting rid of all sports. GOOD LUCK!

I am writing an English paper on the sex education debate. I believe comprehensive sex education should be taught in public schools (not just abstinence-only), but I can’t think of any more reasons. These are the reasons I have so far:

1. To prevent teen pregnancy and STD’s (by teaching contraceptive methods, etc)
2. To educate students about their bodies and urges

Can you think of any more? I need specific reasons, not just "because abstinence-only doesn’t work."

Thanks!

Also, no matter what, in the world we live in today. Kids will learn about sex at a very young age. So we should educate them now about it. I remember when I was 11 I had a friend who had already slept with 7 guys. I remember my dad wouldn’t let my little sister go on birth control just because she was 14, yet my mom put her on it anyway because wouldn’t you rather be safe then sorry? You can’t just tell your kids that you don’t want them to have sex and expect them to listen to you. They will do it no matter what. So we need to educate them now, and also we need to educate parents that they need to be more aware of what is actually going on these days.
