During the solitary play a child will play by themselves and are typically secluded from others. In parallel play two or more children will play near each other. However, they are not interacting with each other yet. In associative play, two or more children are playing with the same thing. They are talking with each other but not working together to create something. Lastly, cooperative play is where two or more children are playing, talking and working together to create something.

...should not receive participation awards after elementary school. People who win placing awards have worked hard for it, and with participation awards it takes away all of the hard work put into the competition. Not everyone needs an award for showing up to a competition. I can see how for elementary children why they would give out participation medals to get them interested in the sport, but at a certain point in life, those kinds of awards should be out of the running. The first reason we should get rid of participation awards is that when children receive them, it teaches kids that they should always be winning an award even if they don't deserve it. By getting a participation award kids expect to win all the time without trying or working hard for the award. "'Her daughter rarely showed up for her soccer team. She had a terrible attitude," Dweck says. In spite of that, "at the end she got a giant trophy and would have been devastated had she not'" says an article called "Should Kids Get A Trophy For Showing Up?" by NPR Ed (National Public Radio: Education) by Corey Turner. This quote explains how if you are always guaranteed an award, why would athletes or students want to try?...

...In the job searching I have done over the past years and the research I have done this week I have discovered what I found 7 years ago and what I found out today remains the same. Most companies like “Turn 5” are looking for you to have your AA or BFA in Graphic Design and 1-2 years’ experience to become junior staff designer. I qualify for most job but most are looking for someone to have their BFA and at least 2 years of professional experience. I have a lot of free-lance experience but not professional and I am very behind on software updates. I feel as soon as I brush up on my skills with the new software and show these companies that I am taking the initiative and going back to school it will vastly increase my probability of getting a good job. At this moment I feel almost unmarketable on paper but I know I am more than able to do all the specific skills that are requested. Turn 5 American Muscle is seeking a designer that has core graphic design principles that include; typography, composition, and color theory. They are looking for a creative thinker and a team collaborator with strong typography skills.

...negative publicity. It is obvious that the filmmaker would not allow Marianne to peacefully respond to any questions and freely express that both Ikea’s values and her own personal values do not support child labor. By only showing still shots instead of the whole video, it is evident that the German filmmaker is not interested in the overall ethical issue of child labor, but rather in trying to jump start his career by taking down such a huge company like Ikea and their main supplier. However, I would recommend Marianne to make a public statement to show everyone that they do not support child labor. As proof, she can refer to the previous year when Barner and her direct manager immediately travelled to Pakistan, India and Nepal to personally oversee production in those countries. 2. What actions should she take regarding the IKEA supply contract with Rangan Exports?...

...view that working class children cultural deprivation is the reason of their underachievement can be very rightly true. Cultural deprivation is the lack of certain rules of behavior in social situations, values, belief that something is a worthwhile, attitude and skills these are all of what society calls “normal”. Working class children are less likely to succeed in life because they are less likely to be found in nursery schools, less likely to go to university and more likely to be poor readers when they start school, more likely to be in lower sets and streams in secondary school, more likely to leave school early, more likely to underachieve at GCSEs and a level, more likely to be excluded and suspended. This is because the middle-class culture children are suitably prepared for school, but it's totally reverse for working-class culture; it basically fails to prepare children adequately for educational success/achievement. Cultural deprivation has been identified as one reason why the working class children are generally achieving less than middle class pupils. It attributes the working class under-achievement to the fact that they have often been brought up with a negative attitude towards education. The difference is working class people have a different culture from middle class people. That means working class children do less well in education. Some people then make a causative link between the two ideas and come up with the idea that working class children do less well...

...Hidden curriculum is something that is taught within the education system but is not on the official curriculum. This can include things like how to respect authority and the obeying of rules. 1. School mirrors the workplace through: -the use of a formal uniform. –certain rules and regulations to follow. –the need to arrive at a certain set time. 2. ‘Vocational studies’ is connected to a career. Vocational education and training transmits knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to pursue particular careers, e.g. courses in engineering, health and social care, IT or hairdressing and so on. 3. Some factors in the home can contribute to the under-achievement of working class pupils: -lack of books within the home of the individual. –lack of a quiet space in the home. –lack of parental interest in the pupil. 4. ‘Equality of opportunity’ is the concept that all people should be treated equally and given equal opportunities, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences such as class, sex, ethnicity or intelligence, except when particular “distinctions’’ can be explicitly justified. 5. Schools may reinforce existing social class inequalities in three ways: -a hidden curriculum reinforces existing social inequalities by educating students according to their class and social status. The unequal distribution of cultural capital in a society mirrors a corresponding distribution of knowledge among its students. – a teacher may label a pupil as a ‘trouble-maker’...
