126 Announcements

Today's announcements include the return of Project Assignment #1 and instructions for the Project Outline due on 5/25, available on the CREATE website. There is a call for volunteers to assist during exam week. In our focus on Private Schools (Topic #9), we explore demographic insights showing that about 10% of US school children are enrolled in private institutions. Additionally, we discuss parents' motivations for choosing private schools, such as moral/religious values, college preparation, and avoiding desegregation. The potential conflicts between private schools and national concerns, including separation of church and state, desegregation, and equity in education, are also examined.

  3. Demographic Information About 10% of US school children are in private schools • Parents’ Reasons for Choosing Private Schools: • Moral/religious • College Prep • Avoid desegregation (“white academies”)

  4. Private Schools and Public Schools • Private Schools Considered Superior to Public Schools: • Rigorous Curriculum--more demanding than public schools • Social capital • Discipline policy • Parent investment • COULD ALSO BE: • Student Selection • Student Rejection-private schools can “drop” students (but public schools can not drop students)

  5. Consider Private School on Video* • What were some of the motivations of participants? What were they looking for that they didn't find in public school? • What types of conflicts might arise between these schools and national concerns such as: • --separation of church and state, • --desegregation, • --democratic values, such as equity and excellence for all students? • *(Born Again, Life in a Fundamentalist Baptist Church, jamesault.com)
