Responce # 4, Caring In Education

  In this article called Caring In Education, you will be inform on how Nel Noddings explores education, and the caring relationships in education. As well as the difficulties, and the ecounters it has. Some may say that all teachers on earth, care about their students. But this is not a fact, because we have some teachers who teach, are not good teachers.
  Because they are rude, cruel, as well as uncaring. Also they need to have their teaching liscense revolked. Because if you don't love you feild, and show caringness about you and your job, you shouldnt have one. That was my personal opinion, there are many of people who dont adapt, and adopt, to thei rrelational sense of caring.
  All teachers on earth should want to educate all their student, to furthure there education, to the best of their ability.  But the teachers who do a horrible job at teaching,  might be because of their lack of unable to establish relations of care, and trust. But the teachers who say they care, and really dont, should see if the students agree with them or not. Because most students had a teacher who dont care, or really do care.
   But when you go into major details in the relational sense of caring, we cannot look only at the teachers. We have to look at the students as well, because alot of students is very hard on teachers. But you have to learn to adaot to this issuse, when you want to be a teacher. Research have been found that in recent years they described schools and classrooms in which teachers profess to care and work hard.
  But in the research that we have found we need to study, because we must look at teachers, students and different situations. Some people may say student and teachers both lack care and trust, and might need to develope  a relation base on theses things. Some may say the classrooms need to be smaller so that the fewer student, and one teacher can estabalish a relationship of lack and trust. Some may say that more attention should be given to students and their interest.
  Or testing should be reduced, so that teacher and students can explore topics of mutual interest more better. When you care for some one you will not lead them in the wrong way but you will advise them in your best of your ability. Alot of people say that relational view difficult for many educators. But then again some people may say that the relational view is hard for alot of American thinkers to accept.
  This is mainly  because of the Western tradition and how it puts such great emphasis on individualism. But how you treat a person is a main key to how good or bad they can be. But another major reason that the relational view is difficult for some educators to accept is. That people in alot of cultures have been taught to believe that teacher knows best.
  This article titled Caring In Education was a very good article and I would refer to may who wan't to know about teachers and students. I like it and had the same views about this article. This article was mainly to tell a story and touch it's readers by their view and get them to better understand Caring In education.
  This article and  RSAnimate of chaing education are vary similar about education and the teaching method and the teachers. They both see that many cultures share similarities, and education is a must.  They both take same side interest in caring for education and how its viewed, and changing education. Also by looking at the students view points.

Responce # 3, Some Place Like America

   Hobo Kenneth Burr was thirty years of age, and he was murdered on December 5, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. Shortly after his death, fliers was attached to telephones, stating you are not welcome hear in Santa Barbara. And we will make life very difficult for you, and I got a group of people who standing behind me as well. The fliers stated BEWARE, it also stated tree people, which reffered to homeless people who slep in a park under Moreton Bay fig tree.
  The issuse was the people who hated these tree people, was to scare away the homeless people.  Cops was sweeping the homeless at night, as well as to make them feel even more uncomfortable. For the journalist, they knew they had a good story to talk about. So Micheal Williamson and I preted to be homeless people, and see what there life is like, to get a good story.
  We ran accross Crazy Red, and Rick and they showed us around. Also they showed us were Burr's body was found, they meet up with four other people, and when the night was dark they slep. But before they was able to sleep, they seen the police with threw flashing lights, and they was moving in fast. The real homeless people referred to America as a iconic landscape, places of lost dreams, and hard lived lives.
 This answer came into topic when Micheal said to Red, how can they do this to us. The police that is?  Red stated that my America is also seen up close, in the eyes of its people. He also says we are wounded as a culture too, because most of us are soft, bewildered, and made numb by our losses. This book  kind of gets confusing on whos telling the story.
  But Ima try to figure out whos telling it, also he talks about how hard it is in America, and about the jobs lost and the economy. And one women who is a waiter, and she'll prolly have to work the rest of her life, because she can't retire. He was hired as a police reporter, at the Sancramento Bee. But he was drawn into the lives of homless people, as well as Micheal Williamson.
  Micheal stated, this wasnt a story that we set out to do, it found us. In 1982 we were set out in reporting the recession of that decade. They traveled around the nation with job seekers, by buses, and cars, and on airplanes. This book took us three decades to write, but the title some place Like America, comes from Louis Adamic, and his book called My America. And talking about hard times, but we just reworded it.
  One of the main purpose was, to set out on this journey after it found us, and compared the wold from the depression times, to the ressecion times. And its going to be hard work, but we can overcome these hard times. I really enjoyed reading this article, the purpose was to educate you, and inform its readers about soiety, from the past to the present.

Hum 221 Peace and Conflict Studies/ Changing Education Paradigms

Changing Education Paradigms

The topic that I choose to write about is Changing Education Paradigms; this topic is a serious matter when it comes to education around the world. Because the world is in a major crisis as of now and it has been like this for several years now. In the video that I watched on YouTube it states and answers how do we educated our children to take their place in the economies of the 21st century.
We really have no major solution or answer to this, because we don’t know what the economy will look like tomorrow. Or even next week, also another major concern in changing education paradigms, they are trying to educated our children so that they can have a central of cultural identity. They would like to do this because people need to know there cultural genes of our communities. They want to do these two major things while being a part of the pro set of globalization.
The changing education paradigms is nationwide, meaning every culture on earth is reforming public education. So how can you or how do you square theses this to meet perfect perfection. What they are trying to do is, to do what they had did in the past, which was alienating millions of kids who see these no point of going to school. But long ago the education system worked a lot like this; if you worked hard, and did well, you would have a college degree. Which would lead to a better pay, than a high school diploma, or no diploma, and that
means an outstanding job.
            But the kids of the 21st century don’t believe that, and that is a lot true because everybody knows it’s better to have a degree, than not but a degree isn’t a guaranteed to a job. So what we must know and understand is to raise standards in this horrible crisis and breakthrough. But it all goes back now to the current system, and how it was designed. But the current system was designed and conceived for a different age.
When this conceivement took place it was in the intellectual culture of enlightenment.  As well as in the economic circumstance of the industrial revolution, this idea was a revolution idea. To pay for education out of your taxes, but be for the mid of the 19 century, there was no such thing as public education. Many people objected to this revolution idea of public education.
 Need I say this revolution idea was free to everyone, as well as compulsive to everyone? So why did so many people object to it?
Well the people who set out theses so called laws, thought why we are setting out all this information if we feel that they are incapable or learning to read. As well as write, so the whole thing about it was a whole assumption about social capacities. There are two types of people, academic people, and non academic people. But the public education between the economic and intellectual has caused chaos.
Between the people because most people haven’t benefited from it, so the people who haven’t benefited from this suffer from ADHA. ADHD has risen tremendous through the standardizing growth of testing. We have a system of education that is modeled on the interest of industrialism. As well as the image of it and how it plays its role. I agree will this article a hundred percent and the person who analyzed this knew what they was talking about and couldn’t have said it better.
