south collage September 30, 2020 Today I will talk about education and public schools in the United State. First, the purpose of public schools according to the National School Boards Association, "public education exists to serve the following purposes: To prepare students for college and the workforce, including preparing them for jobs that may not even exist yet due to rapidly changing technology. Help children fulfill their diverse potentials". There is also a good benefit to it, teachers have more qualifications, students spend more time studying core subjects, public schools can sponsor more activities, and the student population tends to be more diverse. But there is always a bad thing about everything! In many schools, especially the poorer areas. Too many of the students are dropping out well before high school graduation. Too many are receiving high school diplomas that do not certify academic confidence in basic subjects. Too many are being left unprepared for the world of work. Too many are being left unprepared to go on to higher education and advanced technical training. Besides that, there is not diversity in most schools and there are not good classes to teach about different cultures or different things around the world in the right way. For example, We don't have a good education about Black History Month in our schools. We always have the wrong idea about Arab people. We always think all Mexicans are illegal, etc. My point is these things are really important. Like we don't have classes that teach us or prepare us for the ACT or classes on how to budget or do taxes. When we grow up and become an adult these things are important and sadly 70-80% of young adults don't know how to do taxes and stuff like that. American schools should be more aware of the mental health of the students, a lot of students are experiencing bullying, depression, anxiety, physical abuse at home or in school, sexual abuse, people with special needs, etc. These things can be in schools like bullying, depression, and anxiety. Or it can be outside the schools like physical abuse at home, all of these can lead to one thing, which is suicide! Edited by Aya Alhaddad on Oct 1, 2020 at 9:40am

Description

SOC 186 Week 1 Discussion: Writing Development (Step 1)

Assignment Content

Discussion Post, 2-3 paragraphs (about 150 – 300 words).

Original Post – Due by Day 3

Choose something that you would like to write about in society.  You will use this topic throughout the course as the focus for four discussion posts over four weeks that you will complete.  You will then combine those discussion posts into a final paper that you will submit in Week 5.

Some examples of topics could include some major event going on in society, the career path that you are considering, or a social issue that you are familiar with. If you are uncertain of your topic, do not worry, you will receive feedback from your professor in your week one posting to help you refine your topic. You are also encouraged to contact your professor via email early in the week to discuss possible topics if you are uncertain or have questions.

In your week one post, relate your topic to the field of sociology by connecting your chosen topic to a sociological perspective (Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism, Conflict, or Feminism) as discussed in your textbook in Chapters 1 and 2.

Reference your textbook in your posting in APA format.  The APA in-text reference for your textbook is; (Ferrante, 2016).  The corresponding listing for your textbook that you should place at the bottom of your discussion posting or on the reference page of your final paper would look like this:

Ferrante, J. (2016). Seeing sociology: An introduction (3rd ed.). Cengage.

 

Peer Feedback – Due by Day 7

Respond to at least one of your peers (preferably a peer that no one else has responded to so that everyone may both give and receive peer feedback) with any ideas you have that will help them develop their topic towards a final paper at the end of the term.  Be sure that your responses are substantive and constructive.
