Assignment: Chpt. 11; Due: Wednesday, March 10, 2010
1. Traditionally, public schools were and still are governed by federal and state board of education departments/affiliates of the U.S. Gov’t, influenced by political game and warfare, and financed, supposedly, largely by taxpayers of locality. In contrast, while the private schools were/are governed and influenced by the same authorities and in quite the same manner as that of the public schools, private schools must include and incorporate the board(s) who fund such institutions. However, in more recent day, privatization is answering the call to the ever-growing concern of education quality in America. While financing has, usually, been strictly funded through government entities, parents, donations, and/or investment contributors, the idea of privately owned public schools is successfully becoming a reality. In knowing this, is it more beneficial to teach in the public or private sector? Why or why not? (Txtbk. Chpt. 11)
2. “A parent is the most important teacher a child ever has.” -Joan Beck, American Author on Child Raising (Txtbk. p. 373, Chpt. 11)
3. Among the most controversial business ventures in schools is Channel One, a commercial service that delivers ten minutes of news programming directly to public school classrooms free of cost in exchange for two minutes of advertising. (ref. http://www.channelone.com) (Txtbk. p. 375, Chpt. 11)
