Barriers to Providing Quality Homework in a Multicultural School Community

Teaching in a multicultural school community can be fraught with both barriers and opportunities. Diverse multicultural classrooms are becoming the norm as the world continues to globalize as well as the population becomes more unequal relative to income and resources. Many teachers have to deal with both aspects of diversity. Diverse student populations are defined in their departure from mainstream society by either language, cultural, or class differences as well as some combination of these factors. In these environments, homework can be an effective tool in many regards. Not only does it further the ability to learn materials outside the classroom, but it can also be used as a diagnostic tool as well to identify different students' needs. This analysis will conduct a brief literature review to identify some of the benefits of using homework to mitigate challenges found….

7th graders' homework habits
Do parents help with homework?

Homework trends have varied widely throughout the years. When analyzing current trends on who helps with the student's homework, one finds some surprising answers. The following information was taken from recent polls conducted by the Angus Reid Group concerning trends and attitudes in K-12 education. Although it was agreed all around that parents are the ones to help most often, followed by friends, teachers, and brothers and sisters, a survey of 12-year-olds found that mothers are involved with their children's homework nearly twice as often as the fathers. Researchers speculate that this could be due to some mothers being home after school while their children are younger, but returning to work as their children get older. The difference in time between mothers and fathers and the homework help they give their 7th grades, disappears as the children reach high school (Dateline, 1999).

Gatsby's Greatness

The zeitgeist that The Great Gatsby was written in was extremely influential to F. Scott Fitzgerald's tale, which is undeniably American and an excellent example of the Lost Generation of writers with which he is typically associated with. Both written and set during the Roaring Twenties as the country still basked in its orld ar I victory, enjoying the care free years that preceded the Great Depression, the novel depicts a tainted, twisted love story involving a bootlegger, Jay Gatsby, his first true love, Daisy, and her husband, as it were. The story is narrated by Nick Carraway, Daisy's cousin and an inadvertent friend of Gatsby's due to his meeting with her.

The somewhat unusual courtship between Gatsby and Daisy is largely accentuated by a series of sprawling parties that the former has at….

Problem SolvingIntroductionThe problem of a parent providing more help than is necessary for a childs school work is one all parents face. The challenge in this particular scenario is that the parent wants the child to learn to be self-confident and capable on his own. However, he sees another parent at the store buying supplies and making plans to do the work his own child. Should the parent do the same? This paper analyzes the problem, suggests options, evaluates them, makes a decision about which option is best, how that option should be implemented and reflects upon the outcome.AnalysisWhen engaging in critical thinking, it is important to identify the problem, gather information from various sources, decide which information is most relevant to the problem, and make a decision based on that data (Pithers & Soden, 2000). The first step is thus to identify the problem. In this scenario, the problem….

Integrating Theology and Psychology in CounselingApplicationIn a human services counseling setting, such as a community services agency or hospital, as a counselor I would likely work with clients who are struggling with a variety of issues such as mental health, substance abuse, trauma, and relationship problems. Many of these clients may also have spiritual or religious beliefs that are important to them.Five concepts from McMinn\\\'s book that could apply in a human services counseling setting, include:1. Integration of psychology, theology, and spirituality: McMinn\\\'s book emphasizes the importance of integrating these three areas in Christian counseling. I could apply this concept by recognizing that clients may have spiritual and religious beliefs that are important to them, and incorporating these beliefs into the counseling process when appropriate.2. The importance of prayer: McMinn suggests that counselors should pray for their clients and with their clients if appropriate. I could apply this concept by….

Evidence-Based Homework Policy
Homework enables a student to better learn what is being taught in the classroom. It gives more experience of the subject principals. At the same time, homework and homework policies teach students social interaction skills, self-motivation, and active engagement skills and promote best practices in these areas. Homework policies work better based on grade levels of the student.

Ms. Zalogwe's homework policy does promote social interaction. Human use tools from their culture, such as reading, writing, etc., to develop social functions (Vygotsky, 2014). A teacher's collaboration with students to develop meaningful construction leads to higher thinking skills. This in turn, builds social interactions with others. Students learn communication skills that builds interactions with others.

Self-efficacy enhances motivation for more learning and skill building (Schunk, 1985). As homework brings more practice with classroom activities, students gain more confidence in what they are learning. This would also apply to taking responsibility on….

Over the longer period the study showed that homework levels rose in the U.S. between the 1940s and the 1960s, dropped again in the 1970s, and then have stayed fairly consistent since. It is unclear why there is a difference in results between the study discussed in Gill and Schlossman and that discussed in Matthew, although both generally indicate that the level of homework in the U.S. should not be of concern.
hen considering the degree of burden which homework may cause to students in the U.S., it may also be relevant to consider making comparisons with other countries. Although the paper by Chen and Stevenson uses data from the late 1980s, this clearly shows that the levels of homework assigned in the U.S. are less than that in both China and Japan. The paper also presents evidence that this correlates with higher levels of student achievement in China and….

Kids today are overwhelmed!" A parent recently wrote in an email to GreatSchools.org "My first-grade son was required to research a significant person from history and write a paper of at least two pages about the person, with a bibliography. How can he be expected to do that by himself? He just started to learn to read and write a couple of months ago. Schools are pushing too hard and expecting too much from kids" (ilde, 2011).
However, the homework paradigm affects more than just the student -- it affects parents, teachers, caregivers, and any secondary programs (sports, music, etc.) that children participate in. Some studies show that students are not, on average, doing significantly more homework now than in the past; while others say that there are far more "things" to learn, more avenues of learning, and with standardized testing, a greater push to complete a curriculum at a….

Overall, the classes were uneven in their approach. In part of the class, they were very traditional and used lecture style. In other parts of the class, they freely allowed participation among students. For example, one teacher, despite the fact that he is more disciplined with the students, uses comparisons when explaining the concepts and refers to book when giving examples on the board. The class is quiet during a short lecture. Afterwards, the notes are left on the board and the students are asked to take notes. A special student lays head on desk and asks no questions and takes no notes. However, the teacher does the first part of the homework together with the students, which is a quasi-Vygotsky approach. He does ask the students in this class more questions individually than the other class and helps this class a lot more on homework, which is also a….

Editing Work
chose to base my studies on J. because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem nternational School where work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.

Different research methodologies were used to collect information on J's school progress and behavior. Some of the methodologies used were, to mention but a few, unstructured interviews,….

Dissatisfaction with elementary school teachers and the educational environment usually meant that the same parents remained dissatisfied with the high school teachers and high school environment. he researcher suggests that the research gathered in the current study be used to improve community relations and more importantly, to improve the one-on-one relationships between all public school professionals and all parents. he author also notes that elementary school education provides a strong foundation for student math and literacy competency. hose competencies will carry over into middle and high school. herefore, African-American students who did not receive an adequate early childhood education are less likely to thrive in later grades.
African-American parents varied with regard to the factors that influence their perceptions about public schools and their staff. Course materials and caliber of homework was one factor that impacted African-American parent perspectives. Some parents, however, attributed their children's success or failure to personal….

agree with, yet ultimately I have a fundamentally different perspective on the issue of homework, teacher responsibility, and parental involvement in education. It is true that many homework assignments are found to be tedious, boring, and repetitive by students and their parents alike, and it is definitely part of a teacher's responsibility to find ways to overcome these perceptions and attitudes so as to enhance the learning process and make it more effective. Creating more "interesting" assignments is certainly one method for overcoming this issue, yet I agree that this solution does indeed miss the fundamental problems identified with the homework issue specifically and the educational system in general. I do not agree, however, with the poster's assessment of what the fundamental homework issue actually is.
It is somewhat true that children these days have less and less time to spend on homework with the increasing amounts of structured and….

Community Colleges in America
In 1983 and 1984, a dozen major reports on the United States' schools were published. All stressed the need for "excellence" in education. These reports are the subject of: Excellence in Education: Perspectives on Policy and Practice. The reports pertaining to higher education were published by The BusinessHigher Education Forum, and saw higher education as "unable to train skilled managers and technicians that they believed industry needed." (Altbach 32) These reports essentially claim that student achievement has declined at technical schools because schools "do not demand enough of their students, do not apply stiff criteria for promotion, do not test students enough, and particularly in high school, provide students with too many choices about what subjects they study." (Altbach 32) These reports are somewhat dated in that they compare American students with Japanese students and focus on technical proficiency vs. The intuitive grasp of problems and methodologies….

There are many different topics to select when writing about online education.  You can approach the essay from the point-of-view of an educator or of a student, and you can also look at it by grade level for K-12 students, for classes for undergraduate and graduate students. You can focus on the challenges that people face as remote learners or the benefits of remote learning.  Many people who are looking at online education today also look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on remote learning/ online education and how different school districts and educational institutions have....

Advertising is such an interesting topic.  It can be overt, such as in television commercials, print ads, or ads in social media.  It can also be more subtle, such as product placement.  Advertising can seem relatively straightforward, or it can involve complex psychological manipulations.  Advertising is a billion-dollar business, because ads can help generate billions in revenue for their companies.  There are so many different things that you can investigate for a paper on advertising, from the use of celebrity endorsements to fear based advertising.  In fact, much modern entertainment is actually....
