Multicultural Education: Piecing Together The Puzzle
Words: 896 / Pages: 4 .... teachers can help students see how each individual fits into the
big picture.
There are, however, arguments against multicultural education (Banks,
1995). For example, some critics believe that multicultural education is

white, heterosexual males. Others believe that multiculturalism is against
Western and democratic ideals. A final argument is the claim that

People Making Out In The School Hallways
Words: 416 / Pages: 2 .... offender will stop for now and
then continue later when the teacher is out of site and out of mind.
Our solution is to equip each and every student and teacher with a
pocket size tube of super-glue, and require them to use it on any one
caught showing unacceptable PDA's. We feel that if the two offenders want
to be that close in school, why not make them that close always. Maybe
when they see how annoying this gets to be then this will discourage them

not prove effective then we will be forced to simply bring them all into a
room where they can be alone. While they are alon .....

Words: 4207 / Pages: 16 .... investigate the viability of charter
schools in spite of fervent opposition from school trustees and the
Teacher's unions. (Dube, A4)
Some say the charter movement in Canada is an attempt to allow for
increased local participation in decision making, save money by cutting
down on costly administration and foster innovation through competition.
(Lawton, 23) Others insist it is part of the neo-liberal agenda to crush
labour unions, and allow the market to operate unfettered without costly
government intervention. These people contend that adoption of a market
based system will lead to a two-tiered system of winners and losers and
that those in great .....

Educational Psychology
Words: 570 / Pages: 3 .... school environment one which is most effective in promoting
learning. As an example, if a student in school commits a disciplinary action,
instead of being indiscriminately punished, that student would be sent to see
the school psychologist to find out the causes of the students misbehavior and
deal with them accordingly (Frandsen 92).
Though studies of educational surveys, there were nine major factors
that increased learning. These nine factors can be placed into three groups:
student aptitude, instruction, and psychological environments. Student aptitude

Proportions Of Numbers And Magnitudes
Words: 809 / Pages: 3 .... to the second and the third to the
fourth, when, if any equimultiples whatever be taken of the first and third, and
any equimultiples whatever of the second and fourth, the former equimultiples
alike exceed, are alike equal to, or alike fall short of, the latter
equimultiples respectively taken in corresponding order." From this it follows
that magnitudes in the same ratio are proportional. Thus, we can use the
following algebraic proportion to represent definition 5.5:
(m)a : (n)b :: (m)c : (n)d.
However, it is necessary to be more specific because of the way in which the
definition was worded with the phrase "the former equimultiples ali .....

approximately 40% larger than today's classes, and they functioned with about

material and equipment. Then, between 1965 and 1980, real dollar expenditures
per student doubled as teacher to student ratio dropp .....

Mystification
Words: 269 / Pages: 1 .... They
mystify the topic by making it appear very important, but unknowable, thus
leaving the student with a sense of wonder, or mystery. Mystification does

would allow them to get out on their own to learn more about topics they are
learning about in school.
Gene Anyon would enjoy the idea of mystification. Mystification would
encourage students to work outside of the "boring" classroom and learn more
