[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page paper provides an overview of this issue. Educational experts often contend that there is a direct correlation between educational opportunities and upward social mobility. In fact, researchers have argued that the best way to break what some have deemed the "cycle of poverty" in the United States is to support efforts towards educational enrichment and encourage students to move forward in education. But while there is a link between schooling and social mobility, assessments of the educational process, educational choices and the issue of upward mobility suggest a somewhat less concrete link.

Schooling: Equitable Factor Of Maintaining Two Diverse Teaching Structures
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Contemporary education bears little resemblance to its long-ago counterpart where a single group of students was taught by virtue of a singular approach despite obvious - and oftentimes not so apparent - learning and comprehension levels. The extent to which today's classroom reflects the need to accommodate myriad diverse populations is both grand and far-reaching; that age-grouped classes and Montessori multiage-group classes can reach a high level of achievement for all students as well as create a cohesive school community speaks to the manner by which contemporary schools have overcome challenges inherent to this particular academic process. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Schools & Communities
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses the need for community involvement in today's public schools. Public schools are facing increasingly intense pressures. On the one hand, they are held accountable for meeting national learning standards that apply to diverse student populations, while on the other hand, states continue to slash educational budgets due to financial deficits. One way of alleviating some of the stress placed on schools is to actively involve the communities in which they are located. There are numerous examples in educational research literature that indicate that through community involvement, numerous positive learning goals can be reached. The writer discusses several studies that discuss case studies of school-community involvement. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Schools / Urban vs. Suburban
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page argument in which the writer posits that the reason many people are not satisfied with urban schools is evidently resulting from the reasons that people are not satisfied with urban areas in general. As Americans have shifted so abruptly to the suburbs, the nation's cities have been left to fall apart and so has everything in them- including their schools. And when education is poor, the remaining affluent pack up and leave the city as well; creating a cycle of cause and effect. Now that there is so little left in inner-cities, urban schools are not able to offer the attractive services that suburban schools are. Statistics and case examples are analyzed to support points made. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
