The issue of education reform has had a history as long as education has been around. Historically speaking, education has had a strong role throughout all significant changes and advancements over time. In the past, education was only accessible to the affluent. Today, education is generally available to everyone globally with the emergence of public schools. However, with these changes, it is important that education systems function efficiently and effectively. As a result, the topic of education reform becomes vital in all forms of political debate, all aspects of society, and in discussions involving progress and technology. In order to change the function of educational institutions, it is important that measures be taken to make an immediate impact on children and to help shape the future of society. The system that most modern nations utilize is based upon tests, evaluations and follows specific criteria that educators adhere to. The curriculum is outlined to provide a standardized education to all children attending school. The idea of education reform is international and different countries would be faced with different challenges and different variations of educational reform. The education reforms that affect developed countries within Europe and North America are of particular interest as they directly relate to the lifestyle for Canadian students. Various European countries and North American countries have relatively similar constructs of education with government-approved curriculums as well as politically charged environments that places education reform as top priority for candidates. These factors allow the investigation of education reform to span different countries and still remain comparable as articles.
The Essay on Education Reform 2
Introduction 1. How many of you had a senior class with a 100% graduation rate? 90%? 80%? 70%? Less than 70%? I graduated in 1985, tenth in my class. There were 500 kids in my senior class, and all but three of us graduated. That’s over a 99% graduation rate. Yet, we had been told just two years prior that our schools were not doing their jobs, and that we would be the first generation that would ...
The article, which appeared with the video of Obama on September 27, 2010 on www.cbsnews.com, had dealt with the education reforms that had been a part of Obama’s initiative called “Race to the Top.” This article describes the different methods that Obama plans to use in solving the problems of the school system. The title of the article is misleading however as it highlights the ideas of charter schools and a longer school year, yet the main goal would be educational grants provided to schools across the country. The article is presented to a wide audience particularly the middle-aged middle-class, with children that would be interested in these issues. The article does not go into detail of the resistance that Obama had met with the reforms. It was explained that the article without going into detail focused on the different strategies that Obama had explained. The article called union groups “barriers to reform” which has a negative connotation in which the groups’ concerns are not credible and that they impede the path of progress. This article exhibited some prejudice towards the Obama administration albeit was not abundantly clear or obvious.
The article on BBC news discusses the new exams within Scottish schools written on March 6, 2012. It was very clear within the article that the argument weighed more favourably on the side of teachers and schools and pitted the minister against them. The article highlighted in bold the phrase, “not listening,” just after the remarks quoted by the minister to show his ineffectiveness. It did not highlight in bold any other quotations often putting quotes out of context and not providing full quotations. Furthermore, the article showed bias because it put the audience against Mike Russell, the education secretary. The quotes from different teachers were obviously widespread and the article could have been chosen to include any commentary but instead they chose a quote criticizing and insulting the secretary. The article takes on a leftist standpoint to appease its readers by siding with the secretary and opposing the views of the government.. Therefore, the audience that they would like to appeal would likely be critical of the government and likely support the views of Mike Russell.
The Development Of A Prevention Dropout For Secondary Student In An Urban High School Setting
The Development of a Prevention Dropout for Secondary Student in an Urban High School Setting According to Noguera and Dimon (2003), the rate of dropout in American urban high schools may be the biggest but least known problem today. Noguera and Dimon estimated that at a great amount of schools 50% and even more of the students who start their ninth grade leave it without graduation. [3]. Many ...
The article that appeared on www.foxnews.com, which pertained to the future of the system of education in America focused on Mitt Romney’s views and ideas and in this sense promoted Mitt Romney as a candidate. The article is centered on Mitt Romney however it features little criticism of him, even the title that was chosen “Romney promotes education agenda, defends Bain” uses positive vocabulary “promotes” and “defends” in a way to pose a positive light on Romney. The political bias is not extremely blatant, however the article is not well rounded in its discussion and it does not show the policies of Obama (Romney’s main competitor) in an equal light. It highlights the education of Mitt Romney, his credentials and his quotes are prefaced well. It is however important to mention that he was scrutinized for his lack of detailed plans, and his lack of specific policy ideas as he often made general sweeping statements. Furthermore, the article features pictures of only Mitt Romney and no other notable leaders mentioned in the article. It suggests Mitt Romney’s rights and how his positions have “evolved” as opposed to pointing out hypocrisy or a lack of continuity in his campaigning. This article exhibits bias towards Mitt Romney in a way that is not overly blatant.
The article on cbc.ca relating to changing the math curriculum for New Brunswick schools was rather short and to the point. It did not go into much detail on the drawbacks or different standpoints on the issue. As the article was very optimistic about the changes to the curriculum, it shows the positive aspects of this change and does not discuss anything else. All the quotes are taken from Kelly Lamrock, education minister who would support the new changes that he had initiated. The perspective of teachers and of students was not mentioned. It made this issue appear positive by excluding some information as the language used carried positive connotations such as “revamping the mathematics, science and literary curriculum”. Written in the article is the remark by Kelly Lamrock stating that teachers will have the freedom to express their ideas to help students learn the curriculum and learn through innovative ways which will inevitably help the province to be competitive in the world economy. This sentence appeared earlier in the article as a hypothetic statement yet indicated a strong concluding sentence at the end of the article. The bias of the article weighed heavily for Lamrock and for the ministry of education as they obviously support the changes that are taking place. The article does not include any viewpoints or perspectives other than the ones by the ministry.
The Research paper on Research Study on Gender Bias in Education

Results showed there was little difference in the way the women and men performed on these tests on either version. The ANOVA testing showed these clear results. Does Performance Reflect Success?

The video on the Daily Show features an interview with Diane Ravitch, who is an advocator for a review of the education system in the United States. The interview was centered around her book which was based on the education system and changes that she would like to see happen. The interview was rather biased as the questions posed were rather leading, as they already implied the answer. The site is commonly viewed as a comedy program however it still serves as a news source that is very often frequented. The bias is liberal as it primarily highlights the flaws of their republican government. The interview was based on a need to overhaul the system and the government. The show regularly criticizes other news media however it is biased towards the democratic government. The book and the interviewees were the centre of the segment and obviously the topic of the book was the issues in the government however there was no mention of other segments of the argument and the positive results from the current changes to the American education system.
The articles had many aspects in common directed primarily towards education reform. The article deals with policies in the United States that were very different as they favoured opposite ideas; one article favoured Romney and the other Obama. The article on bbc.com was interesting as it opposed the government in general as with the dailyshow.com interview where they both heavily criticized the government for ignoring the people. The article on cbc.com was important to note as it favoured the government’s decision and did not go into any length about the different viewpoints. The articles included a viewpoint that in some instances such as fox.com and cbs.com were not very biased and probably occurred due to the criticism that the websites had faced in the past. The main bias I found while doing research pertained to which articles appeared when I searched the website. Often the sites contained stories on a specific candidate and with information on a specific political party. In this way the website limits which stories they wish to publish. All of the articles and the interviews have bias and although often it was sublime, this affects how the news is interpreted from the reader and what conclusions people can draw from the news.

McLuhan’s ideas that the internet and new forms of communication have given us a greater sense of community and have “retribulized” society are true to some extent. I believe that the Internet fosters sense of community in certain groups; groups that people inherently belong to. In this way, my opinion confirms the ideas of Krastev, that it fragments society and it splits people along their individual opinions and already formed beliefs. People who would like to communicate and share ideas are able to do this with greater ease however they are unlikely to change their beliefs and branch into other areas. People that are interested in centre subjects will seek out information on this. For example political parties people that have strong interest in liberal party ideas will have greater access to both conservative and liberal ideas however they will likely only choose to participate in the groups that they are members of. In this way, people are able to confirm their biases and have their opinions supported by others in great numbers. Although the ease of which accessing other information has been raised, people often remain loyal to the beliefs they already have, and in this way access media that is suited to them.
The business model of newspapers must cater to specific audiences. In order to maintain the audience, people must find their own views reflected back at them. They will watch media that does not question their beliefs but rather reinforce them. In this way people become judgmental and channel their views into their specific beliefs and ideas. This is essentially the mentality of a larger group in which the people become even more rooted in their beliefs. Those that want to be liberal will continue to do so and those that want to be conservative will do so too. The information that is available does not matter since it is the information that the people choose to access is what is important to them. In this way society has become more and more segregated through the widespread use of new media.

It was written at a time of scientific revolution to benefit people of the day and in the future, however, people of the day had a hard time accepting new ideas.
