The history of slavery in the U.S. is very important, shaping our country and its continued impact on race relations. Although, students don't know much about it. Only 8 percent of high school seniors can identify slavery as the central cause of the Civil War. It's not all the students faults though. Schools aren't including it in curriculums, so teachers aren't prepared to teach it and textbooks don't include enough material about it.
The United States ranks as the 10th most developed country in the world. It is behind the nations, Norway, Switzerland, and Australia. This is according to the 2016 Human Development Index of United Nations Development Program. Many counties with the highest educational attainment, lowest poverty, and longest life expectancy lead the nation in employment and population growth. These countless economic opportunities likely attract new residents to the areas at a faster pace than in most of the country.
A California political science professor called Trump a “white supremacist” and an “orange reality star” in their class syllabus. The syllabus was a continuos bash against the president. The professor at one point said, “The President of the United States won the 2016 election by appealing to bigotry and hatred." The professor wrote how by the end of the class students will know how how Americans form their political beliefs. A student in the class reported the syllabus to the Campus Reform, where it was taken care of.
Many parents of children attending a school in Staten Island New York are furious becuase the school cancelled a ftahter daughter dance in one of it's events due to "gender issues."

Educational dysfunction is happening at a school in the Hempstead school district. Kids have not been respectful, most of the students are failing in classes, and the school board is divided and always at war. The school is recently closed because its deteriorated so much.

One big debate is whether paying teachers bonuses improves performance in students. The government has given out $1.8 billion in tax money to school districts to reward their best teachers. Studies have shown student achievement is the same no matter the teachers pay. Researchers from Vanderbilt found that teaching bonuses helped students, but very little.
Yale offers a class called "Phycology and the Good Life", which is a class which teaches the students to lead a happier life. Roughly 300 students registered for this class after a couple of days. The final number of students was around 1,200, which is 1/4 of all undergrads at Yale. Laurie Santos, a Phycology professor and teacher of this class says she sees good habits forming as students are changing the culture of the school.
According to new evidence, paying teachers bonuses improves student learning. In 2006 under Bush's administration starting giving small incentives in hopes of bettering the children score. At first, the results were a little shakey but as of recently new tests have revealed they have helped a "little". Since 2006, 1.8 billion taxpayer dollars have been given to teachers as incentives. The ongoing debate is whether teachers should be payed for such "small" improvements .
In Staten Island New York, parents of many children are furious because of their schools cancellation of a Father/Daughter dance in one of it's events due to gender inequality. The school and LGBT leaders said that these events can leave people out and make people feel uncomfortable with themselves. They will no longer have any gender based events at the school.
Across America people are falling ill and dying young. According to Princeton University economics, men and women who haven't been to college live shorter, less healthy lives. The findings suggest that pain, stress, and social dysfunction may all play a role. People are also dying at a younger age. This is because people with college degrees have better access to health care. They have better job levels and have less stress.
State school officials said on Tuesday that about $350 million in additional K- 12 money could begin flowing to school districts in April. At the same time, they said about 20 issues with the new funding distribution formula need to be addressed to clarify what lawmakers intended when they passed the new formula last year. State school Superintendent Tony Smith testified before the Senate Education Committee to resolve when school districts will start seeing the additional state money for education that was included in this year’s budget. The money will be distributed to the districts that need it the most. Smith said the agency is preparing to finalize attendance figures from the state’s more than 800 school districts. http://www.sj-r.com/news/20180206/state-education-money-will-start-being-paid-in-april

Researchers are conducting a project to determine if raising a teachers salary will increase the performance of their teaching skills, which potentially will raise the achievements of their students. The government has spent over $88 million in educational raises. Research shows that even with the higher salary, students still remained the same or even worse. Teachers making the most showed that their test scores were dramatically lower than the scores of the teachers who make a little less. More than 1.8 billion has been sent out to reward the schools nest teachers across America. Researchers are finding a new way to figure out if this is actually not plausible and is a waste of money, due to the lack of increase in performance of the students.
Researchers are creating a project to see if students learn better when the teachers paid more. Also they are seeing if this will increase the teachers performance. New York City and Nashville did this experiment and found that the students achievements didn't change. In Little Rock, Arkansas students did receive higher test scores when their teacher received a bonus.

In california schools are using a new technique to teach students. They are using activities to seek out their natural talents and use those to efficiently teach their students. Starting from a young age the teachers use words like "caring" "confidence" and "competing". When the teachers find these children's talents they put them on their new report cards. That's right no more grades. They use their report cards to determine classes and methods of teaching. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2018-02-02/california-school-district-explores-strength-based-learning
ABCmouse for Schools offers two solutions for pre-k through 2nd grade: ABCmouse Early Learning Academy, a comprehensive supplemental curriculum that builds a strong foundation for academic success across subject areas required for 3rd grade readiness; and the new ABCmouse English Language Learning Academy, which can be used by teachers as a core program or as a rich supplemental resource to provide a developmentally appropriate English language immersion experience.
A california school is using education that focuses on student's strengths. This more personalized form of learning seeks to encourage the students and help them learn better. Most take a quiz to determine what some of their strengths are, and then focus on some of these. This doesn't mean they get no education in the areas they're bad at though. They use things similar to jungle tiger and growth mindset, and avoid negative things, and try to discipline in positive ways. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2018-02-02/california-school-district-explores-strength-based-learning
One debate going around is that if teachers get payed more the students grades will go up, or the students will improve their scores on tests. They thought that if this method worked on salesmen that it might work on teachers, giving them a push to work harder. But researchers have found that in New York and Tennessee the federal funding efforts didn't affect the students grade or improve their test scores.
President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass a sweeping $1.5 trillion infrastructure package Tuesday night during his State of the Union address. But what he left off his infrastructure to-do list surprised some: Schools.Public schools are the second largest sector of the country's infrastructure, after roads and highways, with more than 50 million children and adults setting foot in a public school every day. But half of those buildings are at least 50 years old and many are plagued by chronic facilities issues, including faulty heating and cooling systems, lead pipes and poor air quality. Indeed, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave public schools a D+ in its 2017 infrastructure report card, finding that more than 53 percent of schools would need to make investments toward repairs, renovations and modernizations to be considered in "good" condition. "If that isn't a national emergency then I'm not sure what is," says Kosta Diamantis, president of the National Council on School Facilities and director of school construction grants for Connecticut's Department of Administrative Services. It would follow, then, that any federal infrastructure investment include funding for school improvements, as Trump has been signaling. https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2018-01-31/infrastructure-spending-for-schools-if-history-repeats-itself-no
