Americans Take Their Education For Granted
.... always come first. Students
need to put school on top of their priority list too. Parents also need to
assure that their children understand their own responsibility to get their work
done well and handed in on time. But parents can only do so much—ultimately it
is the students who have to do the work.
Children must learn to accept responsibility for the results of their own
actions. Students will sometimes blame the teacher or others if they get bad
grades. I have only one response for these students--the teachers aren't the
ones responsible for acquiring knowledge. Students must learn that their grades
are a direct .....

Education: Past, Present, And Future
.... in the hall
it's always, "Ohh my gosh, Becky! I'm going to have a fat cow! I think I'm
getting a B in my chemistry class, and that is going to ruin my record."
Pressure is constantly put upon students to get "straight A's" It is very rare
when a student will not shoot for an A on a quiz. It's human nature to succeed,
but with the pressure put on us by the teachers, parents, peers, and colleges,
it's a heavy load to handle.
Now, scientists recently did an expiriment. They placed a child in a
room with some brand new toys. They left him there for a couple of hours and he
did not play with them. The scientists puzzeled took the boy .....

Experimenter Expectancy Effect On Children In A Classroom Setting
.... correct answer, the horse would stop stomping. Once again, the
experimenter's cues decided the outcome of the tests. Acting on these results,
Rosenthal and Jacobson hypothesized that teacher's expectancies would cause them
unintentionally to treat the students they thought to be bright in a different
manner than those they thought to be average or even less bright.
Rosenthal and Jacobson used some materials that were important in the
completing their investigation. The experimenters used students and their
teachers as the subjects of their study. As part of their experiment, they even
chose which grades the students would be i .....

Experimental Training Program: Wilderness/Adventure Learning
.... need great leaders to help them successfully survive the
many difficulties of this decade. Yet, the very notion of leadership has rapidly
degenerated into a cliché, a buzz word. In many people's minds, leadership has
become identified with an overly simplistic conception of vision and empowerment.
Although these concepts do play an important role in the leadership process,
they only scratch the surface of what an exceptional leader actually does on a
day-to-day basis.
What do leaders really do to make an organization work well? In my research
I found that great leaders exhibit nine different kinds of behaviors that enable .....

.... was ecstatic! I couldn't express to him enough how much I enjoyed his class
and all the lectures and theatre games we played. It is those little things
that I remember most.
After our joyful trip down memory lane, Professor Sacharow (who
preferred me to call him Larry which I just couldn't do out of plain respect)
led me into the lobby of the residence hall where a mural of myself hung on the
east wall. I remember the day the university dedicated that lobby to me for my
outstanding achievement. My friends and I had led a fund rally for the school
to raise money for the many programs which would be affected by the enormous .....

Twenty minutes later, he watched his mother from a different perspective:

would make when he sang his heart out to the skinny man. How would he have
known that that "man" would be known to him as , his music director for
the next six years. Together, they would fine tune the natural talent buried in

Getting The Most From Our Education
.... And whenever I reach out and help someone, I fell good. It was great
to see the students of General Brown help out in the community with the
Thanksgiving dinner for the seniors (I know there was another school that helped
out too, I forgot who, if someone else remembers, please jump in and add their
thanks to the list). If we want our kids to be less self-centered, we have to
show them the example. If they don't follow, it won't be from lack of exposure.
This is a transient world nowadays. The kids that grow up and get educated here
might go away. If we give the best education we can to the kids, then when they

The abuser may consistently forget homework assignments and do poorly on exams.
Recovered drug user Bob* explains, "The pressure from your friends and society
to use drugs is sometimes overwhelming. Once I started, everything went
downhill, especially my grades." Drugs soon consume the student's life, leaving
no time for studying or homework.
Truancy is obviously going to produce a poor learner. By not showing up at
school there is no possible way he or she can get assignments or take tests.
Even skipping only once or twice in a semester can be detrimental. .....
