...Writ 1301 Sophia Andera-Cato Education in America In the words of American philosopher Will Durant, “Education is the transmission of civilization.” To me, this quote represents exactly what education should be in every society. Education is key to the expansion and prosperity of civilization and it is what keeps us, as a human race, growing. All over the world students are learning to improve themselves to eventually improve their society. The problem here is that not everyone values the importance of education as much as they should. From examination of completion rates and analysis of standardized tests, it is clear that America is falling behind many countries, Japan in particular. This disparity between America and Japan is shown not only in academics, but also in competition for jobs. The better the education people achieve, the more advancements the country can have, and the more successful that nation will be as a whole. America needs to refocus its value on education to emphasize its importance to avoid falling behind on a global scale of educated citizens. One of the main reasons America is falling behind Japan is that the high school drop out rate in America is 1.2 million students a year, which is 6,000 students a day (The Broad Center). The fact that this many students are forfeiting their education everyday is disturbing. Students can just ease their way through and earn a high school degree; so dropping out shouldn’t even be an option. In Japan, the drop...

The schools are in a crisis and need urgent help to solve the problem.

...better the education for the children of America. The No Child Left behind Act is a very controversial topic, due to the lack of funding provided by the government, and how teachers get laid off for not being deemed �highly qualified� teachers. However, statistics have indicated that the No Child Left behind Act has helped to make an improvement in the education for the youth of America. No Child Left Behind Act The No Child Left behind (NCLB) Act is now a United States federal law that was created to improve the public school system. This is the first amendment that has been made since the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. President George W. Bush felt that the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was inadequate. So he devised his own way to try and improve it, thus creating the No Child Left behind Act. Another reason George W. Bush created the No Child Left behind Act is because he was noticing that the achievement gap between minority students and white students was growing. The No Child Left behind Act has many theories that should equal perfection according to President Bush. Some of these theories entail all students being proficient by the 2013-2014 school years. Another theory of the NCLB Act is to raise the achievement levels of minorities and subgroup students such as African Americans, Latinos, low-income students, and special education students to a level of proficiency agreed upon by each state. (U.S. Department of Education, 2004) The...

...Addressing Healthy Foods and Nutritional Education with Cleveland's Youth Brenda McLelland Capella University MSN 6012 Unit 8: Designing Health Promotion Programs September, 2015 Abstract Concerns about addressing the nutritional health of Cleveland’s impoverished children continue to plague the Cleveland community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2013, Cleveland has the third largest child poverty rate among the top cities in the United States ("Hunger Facts," 2013). Insufficient resources to provide adequate food and lack of proper nutritional education for these children has a dramatic effect on the health and well-being for this vulnerable group. Not only does poverty have a direct relationship to negative child outcomes, but nutritional intake and education, as well. This article will focus on a theory-based health care promotion plan that will address the poor, school-age children living in Cleveland. Strategies will be identified in promoting nutritional education to improve healthy eating for these children in an attempt to improve the health and wellness for this vulnerable group. Guidelines for quality monitoring, evaluating, and adaptations of this health promotion plan will also be discussed so that it can be used across various health care settings. Implementing a health promotion plan that incorporates appropriate theory, research-based interventions, evaluative measures, and quality improvement metrics is pivotal if the health care professional...

...The Major Problem Faced by Teachers in America Throughout the history of mankind, teachers have played a pivotal and irreplaceable role in the development of society. One could argue that teachers are the powerhouses that maintain the world full of innovation and creativity. They are the individuals responsible for educating the influential minds that have left significant marks in history as it is known today. However, even with the several years of formal and informal education teachers have to surpass in order to obtain their degrees, teachers are not given the praise and recognition they are worthy of. Although teachers have to demonstrate dedication and perseverance in their job to provide an effective education to their students, teachers...

...George Washington. This man was the first leader of one of the best countries on Earth, the United States of America. One of his ideas was for America to have a grand, national university, so every student can get a high quality education at a low cost. This idea, however, has never been carried on. But now, an author by the of Kevin Carey believes that, in our time period, we should listen to Washington and continue with this national university. Carey believes we should carry on with a national university because it would help low-income students/cost lower for students and colleges/the federal government can help provide a high-quality education. First, Carey thinks that a national university should be established because it would help...

...NRS-430V-0506 February 22, 2015 Nurses are critical to the future health and healthcare of America. The enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) calls for a transformation of healthcare to provide a safer, more affordable, more accessible and higher quality of healthcare. Central to these goals is high quality nursing care and practice. In 2008 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to become a partner to examine and consider what it would take to radically change and address the biggest issues of healthcare, cost and improved care. This ground breaking and far reaching collaborative effort resulted in the presentation in 2010 of a cohesive document “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health”. The report focused on recommendations for improvements which include nursing’s important role in improving healthcare in America. This paper will look at the impact of the IOM 2010 report on nursing practice, nursing education and nursing leadership. Impact on Nursing Practice Nurses as the largest part of the healthcare workforce are poised to have an important role in transforming healthcare to provide quality care and improve health outcomes in America. An important message of the IOM report is the Key Message #1: Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training (IOM, 2010). One of the greatest barriers to the transformation of healthcare is the lack of primary care...

...The Failure of Education Policy in the United States The United States has always struggled to find a way to provide an education system that provides a solid educational foundation for America’s youth. The government’s use of education policies to help better America’s education system many say has failed along with politicians attempts to solve this problem. In this paper we will be searching for an answer to a question that plagues many concerned parents and many politicians as well: Has the education policy failed in the United States? In order to answer this question we must look back on the historical background of the issue, we must review the past and present policies in place and we must identify the proposed solutions. It is our intention, with this research, to understand why or why not our education policies have failed America’s youth. There is a major problem in America and it is not one that is hard to spot if you are a concerned parent looking at your child’s test scores, a student enrolled in America’s public schools, a politician seeking to pass a new policy or even a concerned citizen, because when it comes to building a strong, intellectual country Americans’ know we need an education system that adequately prepares our youth. With so many statistics showing the decline of test scores it is not hard to identify the educational problem in America. However, there are many different beliefs as to why the education policy is failing in the United States; however...

...William Smith “Education in America” Composition I Mrs. Jackson “Education in America” Composition I America’s education system is failing. There are many factors that contribute to this failure. Politics stand out as the most damaging issue. With politics of course comes money and economics. None of which help America’s children receive a quality education. Do we blame the system or our communities? Poverty, absenteeism, and lack of parent involvement also play a role in the breakdown of education. President George W. Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act. Really who would argue against a law named that. The law has a noble principle goal which is to improve proficiencies and close the achievement gap for minority and economically disadvantaged kids. No Child Left Behind also set a bar for academic achievement. The course of action to achieve these goals is where the law lacks. NCLB places an emphasis on standardized testing. States get funding based on how well their schools perform. School districts produce better results by in turn limiting the curriculum to what’s on test. Students are robbed of a well rounded education. No matter what the lesson plan consists of schools need money. Think about it, would a plumber work without a wrench? Would you see landscapers without lawnmowers? Our teachers are trying to do their jobs without all the necessary tools of the trade. Children fall behind in math because there aren’t enough rulers.

Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 1 TQM only relates to Human resources 5 2 The only customers are inmates 6 3 Staff should only follow orders 6 4 The managers’ tasks are only to control the staff 7 5 Quality improvements only to be initiated by the management 7 Conclusion 8 List of references 10 Executive Summary In this quotation about Total Quality, the Governor makes 5 assumptions: * TQM only relates to human resources * The only customers are the inmates, * Staff should only follow orders, * The managers’ tasks are only to control the staff, * Quality improvements are only to be initiated by the management. TQM is aimed at customer satisfaction, through continuous improvement, which is process focussed, and involves all levels of an organisation’s management. Apart from the detainees there are other customers in a prison, such as the partners from the criminal justice chain, the visitors, society at large, and the internal customers. In the TQM approach, employees are not there just to carry out instructions, they should be empowered to exert influence on their own job. Managers should act as coaches rather than supervisors, by providing guidance to help employees to do a better job and encourage teamwork. Through empowerment, involvement, and encouragement, employees in all levels of the organisation...

...Schools in urban areas unfairly receive less public funding. Roscigno brings up the fact that the inequality of public school funding is due to the local poverty tax in the district (268). This is considered residential segregation. This diminishes the opportunities and full potential a student can receive. Due to low funding the public school system is in the end shorting minorities their natural rights as American citizens. A child's education should not be based on how high the income rate is in their area. The wealth should be redistributed through the whole city. This will allow each student from every area to be given a fair chance to a quality education. The schools would all receive the same amount of funding and materials that are...

...Latin America. F29 F33 F43 O19 My goal for this research project is to examine the relationships that exists in between the annual growth rate per capita and public expenditure in Latin America. What I wanted to see is if a higher growth rate of GDP meant that a higher percentage was spent in the public sector. Data was gathered from the ECLAC, The World Bank and also the International Monetary Fund. Introduction The reason I was very attracted in this research is because as someone born in South America and lately Latin America has been doing better than before, and visiting South America the past year I have seen how infrastructure has improved lately so I was very interested in seeing how big of a role public expenditure plays in countries that are developing. Expenditure on welfare, health and education are an essential part of what governments do to enhance the quality of life of their citizens and the human capital base of their societies. My focus on public and social expenditure in Latin America is mainly guided by the concern of how Governments utilizes existing policies and seeing how these theories and policies have helped increase Latin America’s GDP. In Latin America we find a great variation in social policy regimes; ranging from Uruguay and Argentina, where a large majority of the population is covered by social policy and has decent education and health services, to El Salvador and Guatemala, where social policy and quality of education and health...
