harry3306: A language that everybody can understand

Afro-centric School Debate Pierre Bourdieu. Afro-Centric schools are a life preserver that is being offered up by one of many ethnic groups struggling in the stormy seas of Canada’s public school system. Without the support of a much larger rescue craft that has to come in the form of a major overhaul of curriculum, the current state of the Canadian public schools will soon move from individual “Mayday” calls to something much worse.

Sociology of Education: How to Deal With Plagiarism
http://rebeccat277.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-deal-with-plagiarism.html
Sunday, 1 April 2012. How to Deal With Plagiarism. I found this news article. That explores some of the methods that universities are using. I had never had a problem with profs putting my work through those kind of websites but now that I think about it, it is kind of insulting. What do you guys think? Do you think the threat of getting an "FD" on your transcript is enough? And do you think that professors should trust their students more or should trust be earned? 3 April 2012 at 12:38. Take a look aro...

Eric Leonard's Web Blog: Edu-Tweeting
http://ericleonardblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/edu-tweeting.html
Eric Leonard's Web Blog. A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions." -Anonymous. Thursday, 29 March 2012. In a previous reflection. I read an article. On the Canadian Education Association’s (CEA) website. There was a pretty common theme in this article around collaboration, which got me thinking about Ken Robinson’s RSA video we watched. His suggestion was that children should be presented with opportunities to be more unified in their approach to learning and a...This is...

Monday, 2 April 2012. Review Five: "Oh Captin, My Captin" and "Rip it Out" - The Dead Poets Society. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Okay first of all,. Above if you have neverwatched The Dead Poets Society. Learning should be a partnership, like that of the Dead Poets Society. They all taught one another, there was no dictatorship in Keatings classroom. This form of interactive unique way of learning proved to be effective for the boys and honestly it just seems fun.

Sociology of Education: Mr. D
http://rebeccat277.blogspot.com/2012/03/im-not-sure-if-any-of-you-have-watched.html
Thursday, 29 March 2012. I'm not sure if any of you have watched the show Mr. D but take a look at this clip above! I found this show absolutely hilarious. It's essentially about a terrible teacher who comedically fails his students over and over again, usually trying to impress someone else (whether it be a woman or the principal). I was watching an episode the other day and I got to thinking, "Why do I find this show so funny? A few of my favourite of these kinds of teachers, because I found the descri...

Sociology of Education: Our Beloved Mr. Feeny
http://rebeccat277.blogspot.com/2012/03/our-beloved-mr-feeny.html
Friday, 30 March 2012. Our Beloved Mr. Feeny. The man, the legend, Mr. Feeny. We all grew up with him, and let's face it: we all love him. He was the teacher that we all wanted. And why was that? Because he cared. We've been talking a lot about how teaching styles are important, and what we should learn in the classroom but what I honestly believe matters most is the teachers themselves. You may remember the methods they used to teach you, but why did you enjoy them so much? It's because they cared.

The View from my Theoretical Lens: Tuition Inflation and Student Success
http://theoretical-lens.blogspot.com/2012/03/tuition-inflation-and-student-success.html
The View from my Theoretical Lens. A critical analysis of a variety of sociological topics. Sunday, 11 March 2012. Tuition Inflation and Student Success. Enrolment in post-secondary education remains relatively stable in Canada although tuition costs are continually on the rise. This extreme tuition inflation. Also affects the overall morale of the university student. More students are forced to work part-time or even full-time while taking a degree in order to compensate for these increases in tuiti...

The View from my Theoretical Lens. A critical analysis of a variety of sociological topics. Sunday, 25 March 2012. Today's Questions Don't Have Just One Answer. This video was created by a school longing for a technological upgrade. What I would like to call the Borg Innuendo is displayed in the following video. This video touches on how the education system does not give you time to think about who you are and instead assimilates you into a collective conscious - a Borg-like mentality. . In my opinion t...

The View from my Theoretical Lens: Damage to Divergent Thinking
http://theoretical-lens.blogspot.com/2012/03/damage-to-divergent-thinking.html
The View from my Theoretical Lens. A critical analysis of a variety of sociological topics. Sunday, 25 March 2012. Damage to Divergent Thinking. This video is visually enticing to view and speaks on how our education system lowers divergent thinking and creates a population of uninspired individuals. The most interesting part of this video in my opinion was when ADHD was spoken of - society makes an "excuse" for children by presenting the "ADHD of the classroom" when in most cases students are just bored...

Sociology of Education: SEX!
http://rebeccat277.blogspot.com/2012/03/sex.html
Thursday, 29 March 2012. I was hoping that would catch your attention! I was not surprised when I read the statistics in the article rather than I thought some of them would be higher for Canada. Then I was doing some more reading and I came across another article - click here. That talked about the rise of Chlamydia in PEI. I don't know about you but that seemed like a link to me. What do you guys think? 29 March 2012 at 14:02. What a great attention grabber, ha! 30 March 2012 at 07:46. Mine focuses mor...
