Public School Systems

A little more than two years ago a committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics began a survey of the use of the radio and public address systems in our public schools. One hundred public school systems with populations of 50,000 or more throughout the United States were sent questionnaires. Significant replies were received from those listed in the report. Other school systems replied and indicated an interest in the results of the questionnaire. After receiving the first replies they were returned to each school system in September 1942 to be rechecked. The report as now given therefore represents the situation as of November 1942.

The Impact

This chapter addresses the education inequities in the United States, and distinguishes between “public schools” and “charter schools.” Though the chapter recognizes that this is itself controversial, and charter schools have taken to referring themselves as public schools, for the sake of clarity it is important to be able to distinguish between the two. While the charter schools' efforts have been primarily directed at Black and Brown communities thus far, the chapter unveils the school privatizers' ultimate targets, which are set much more broadly than that. It examines the impact of school privatization on public school systems and the harms caused by school privatization in communities of color. The chapter then takes a look at Corporate America and Wall Street, and analyses how they can always profit from new markets and expandable markets. Ultimately, it reveals how the ultra-wealthy maintain education inequities to ensure that there will be millions of poorly educated, low-skill individuals who are essentially forced to accept the low wages to survive.

This chapter addresses Article XIII of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns education. Section 1 mandates establishment and maintenance of a public school system but does not guarantee an equal educational opportunity in the sense of equal expenditures of money for each and every pupil in the state. Section 2 states that “the Legislature shall provide for the establishment and support of institutions for the care and education of persons within the state who are deaf, deaf and mute, or blind.” Meanwhile, Section 3—which was entitled “Separate Schools for White and Colored Children”—was repealed on May 3, 1966. Section 4 states that “the Legislature shall provide for the compulsory attendance at some public or other school, unless other means of education are provided.” Section 5 grants power to the State Board of Education to supervise the instruction in public schools. Section 6 provides for the establishment of a uniform system of textbooks to be used in the public schools, making it clear that the books must be free to students.

This paper describes a resource exchange program between two human service organizations: a public school board and a university. This case study illustrates the utility of the concept of resource exchange as a response to pressures for the effective management of limited human resources. With an emphasis on mutual goals, needs, and strengths, the resource exchange program expanded resources available to both organizations. For the public school board, new services in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs were developed. For the university, research and training opportunities were created. Finally, the fragmentation between and within the organizations was reduced in correspondence with their increased mutual interdependence.

Spectrum Disorders

Teachers may be inadequately prepared for the increasing number of students being identified with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as students with ASD may not respond to traditional methods of instruction. Some parents of children with ASD are concerned with educational programming available through public school systems and are turning to homeschooling. Ten parents from nine families participated in this qualitative study to share their experiences, opinions, and perceptions of homeschooling as compared to instruction in public school settings. Four themes emerged from the data analysis, along with one overarching theme. The 10 parents who homeschool their children with ASD believe they have found a treatment plan that works, and their perception has been that the school has been either (a) not willing and/or (b) unable to provide effective programming. An unexpected finding was that homeschooling goals and interventions varied across the families.

In her book, Loukia Sarroub offers an ethnographic account of the lives ofsix Yemeni-American girls by following them through public schools from1997-2002 to “obtain a deeper and richer understanding of their day-to-daylives at home and at school” (p. 19). By observing them in the school,home, malls, and mosque, as well as at their community’s social occasions,Sarroub investigates the tensions between their lives and identities in theAmerican public school system and their family lives at home, both in theUnited States and in Yemen, their land of origin.In the first chapter, Sarroub details the theories behind her ethnographicresearch, introduces the research background, reviews theresearch methodology, and gives an overview of the participants. In chapter2, she chooses Layla, one of the Yemeni-American girls, as a representativeof the group. As Sarroub explains, Layla struggled to find aspace for herself, because “it was not always clear to her whether she was an American or a Yemeni, and her attitude toward her home and schoollives reflected her consternation with both identities” (p. 30). Being anArab Muslim woman myself and living as a minority in a western society,I can relate to the struggle between gender roles. The girls’ roles areprescribed by culture and traditions, and their gender identity is constructedin ways that have been influenced by American society.Therefore, I expected the author to provide a more detailed analysis ofhow adolescents construct their gender identity in both Arab MuslimYemeni and secular American cultures ...

Case Study Report

This is a case study report arising from a series of daily observations of the students’ behavior made in a primary public school located near to the capital city, Manizales -Colombia, where it was possible to notice the difficulties students had in order to coexist due to the lack of respect with their classmates, in group activities or actually working in pairs throughout the foreign language class. The aim of this investigative project was to counteract the daily levels of aggressiveness presented by the students among themselves, to promote good teamwork and respect as an important issue in a good coexistence. Based on the observed settings, the results revealed that it was possible to highlight the necessity of learning to live together and to enhance the value of respect for others creating new ways of working in terms of coexistence. Promoting human values in the classroom brought profit for children and was fundamental in primary school from their earliest ages, due to the school must play a leading role in the construction of integral citizens, for a better society. Some of the activities, contents and games after being applied such as bingo, lotteries, word searches, puzzles, animal behavior and others, generated a connection between meaningful language learning, good teamwork and human relations. These classroom strategies became new alternatives for a teacher training program that claimed for immediate and demanding solutions to improve children’s character development inside public schools.
