Schooling and Education
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people
go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.
Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the
shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes
both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole
universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
revered grandparent to the
people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished
scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often
produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person
to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in
education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive
term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start
of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose
general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.
Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately
the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar
textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that
are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the
workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the
subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are
not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems
in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of
schooling.
just for share an idea.
From eating a nutritious breakfast in the morning, to listening to Mozart on the way home, people are full of ideas for making students succeed in school. But an increasing number of studies show that an educational cure for problems as varied as crime, poor school performance, and social woes may be as simple as a good afterschool program.
These programs traditionally served to keep kids occupied until their parents got out of work, but new research says it provides a boost for many kids. According to a new study of 35 afterschool programs serving low-income elementary and middle school students, children that regularly attended a program were academically far ahead of their peers. Not only did test scores increase, but their work habits, social skills, and behavior also improved with increased afterschool activities. “These findings underscore the importance of high quality afterschool programs and activities for both elementary and middle school youth,” says Deborah Lowe Vandell, PhD., Chair of the Department of Education at University of California at Irvine and the study’s lead author. “In contrast, unsupervised time spent either hanging out with peers or even at home alone watching television is problematic for young people.”
It’s no secret that juvenile crime rates spike in the time between school letting out for the day (around 3pm) and parents arriving home from work (around 6pm). But studies such as this one suggest that afterschool programs do more than just keep kids occupied during the afternoon. Most programs offer enrichment opportunities that seek to make learning fun. “I constantly give cooking as an example,” says Jodi Grant, Executive Director of the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit organization raising awareness of the importance of these programs. “It’s a great way to learn about nutrition, math, and measurements. What a great way to teach kids about science!”
So, if the academic and social gains to be made are so clear, why aren’t more kids in afterschool programs? According to Grant, there is simply not enough funding to provide afterschool activities for all. “Many of the programs are oversubscribed,” she says, and points out that the last six years have shown no increased funding for afterschool programs. However, a new spending bill which dedicates $100 million more in funds was recently passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on Dec. 26, 2007. The increase will allow for the development of more afterschool programs in the coming years.
Interested in getting your child involved in an afterschool program? First off, keep in mind that today, afterschool programs serve a variety of functions, and may not take place “after school” at all. “When we talk about afterschool programs, we’re talking about programs that operate in the before school space, programs that traditionally take place in the afternoon after school lets out, and summer programs,” says Grant. She says that although schools are the most likely places to host afterschool programs, parents should also investigate the afterschool offerings of community centers or other organizations which host programs. “In general, most people support afterschool,” she says. “But we need to translate that support into action.” So, what are you waiting for?
The school was over. The students went out of the school. Today we have a test for math. I got the full mark. I was very happy. When I got home,my mother was cooking a delicious meal. I told my parents that I had a full mark at the math test. My rents told me that I couldn 't be careless next time.
That day,I finished my homework very quickly, and I watched TV with my father. He gave me some advice,told me that he hope I will have a full mark next time,too.
