The Town By Macklemore: The Problems With School

Throughout history music has played an important role in society, whether it was Mozart moving people with his newest opera or the latest album from the Beatles. Where would society be today without music? With schools cutting their music programs, the next Mozart may not get his chance to discover his amazing talent. Music programs are essential to education. To fully understand this one must understand how music helps the human body, why schools have cut music programs, and why people should learn music.

I have a confession to make. Being a student myself, I know the limitations music can have on your focus, critical thinking skills and concentration, yet I still constantly press the play button when solving equations, writing essays and debunking theorems. I’m aware of this detrimental habit, but I cannot help myself. After reading the essay “My students listen to music non-stop” by Kevin Bray, published January 25, 2016 for the Globe and Mail, it made me reflect on the consequences that music can have in the classroom.

Schools are a place where people come to learn things that will help them in the future. They have changed what school really

Education is always a controversial topic. Especially that topic is about high school to educate. Rebecca solnit emphasizes that high school has a inaccurate system to educate, it identity students that who they are in the rest of life, people should escape from it. Also high school like a jail, you have to conform or take the punishment.However, I disagree with her, because I believe high school is an important part of life, and high school direct ways for students to be successful.

Peter Greene in his article, “Stop Defending Music Education”, suggests that public schools need music for many reasons. In addition to emphasizing that public schools need music education not because it increases test scores, but for many other reasons rather than the obvious reason. Greene is surely right about people defending music education for the wrong reasons, because as he may not be aware, recent studies have

How are you to be a fair grader if you have preference from one student to another? Or with the current whistleblower culture of seeming too close to students could be taken beyond just ‘friendly’. But the notion of not being able to make any form of connection with your students seems to be old fashioned and to me disadvantaged for those in the connection. Teachers who don’t understand a student beyond a name and face, will miss cues on a sudden shift in a personality that could really change someone's life. Not to be an extremist but most suicides are preventable if those around them would notice the sudden changes in the person, they are the 2nd cause of death in college students.

2. It is not fair to the teachers because the teacher's well all there doing is fixing the classroom for the next year. They never really get a

One reason that students should be able to listen to music is that kids with ADD/ADHD. It also helps calm people down. According to Danielle Flannigan there is a statistic shows that 79% of workers concentrate to the job they’re doing

To begin, teachers should not have favorites. Secondly, no one should be able to be a bully and get away with it. Lastly the teachers should always check to make sure all of the class is there.

The facts are real and obvious that teachers and students are equal and are the same person no higher the creator of our beings gave us rights and made us equal there's no right for us as humans to take something away they didn't create. To obtain these rights teachers must allow students to be respected but also be treated as teachers are treated no different. When teachers act like they have more power than u as a person even tho god made us equal it makes the students feel like kids so we act like kids. It's now time for the kids

A big controversy of our generation today is concerning of a topic that many of us praise and could not live without. In fact, spin.com claims that the average American listens to four hours of music each day. So is music effective or hurtful to our studying? This may be an eternal topic for we don’t truly have one answer. In numerous ways listening to music is beneficial, belie some studies have come to find out it can also be harmful. Students should be given the option to listen to music in class, but whether they choose to take upon this privilege or not is up to them.

“Musical is a universal experience. With few exceptions, all humans perceive musical pitch, tone, timbre, and harmony. We listen to music to relax, to help us think, to celebrate, and grieve. Our emotional responses to music have been noted in literature, poetry, and drama. The power of music to evoke an emotional response is used by advertising companies, film directors, and mothers singing their babies to sleep. Early education teachers are familiar with using music and rhythm as tools for learning language and building memory. (Foran, 2009) Several musical melodies are used in grade school to learn information. Music is used in my math classes across the world to enhance the learning process of formulas. English classes use music help children learn prepositional phrases, adjectives, adverbs, noun, and etc. However, after most scholars reached a certain grade level, using music to achieve new heights academically became a technique of the past. Most instructors didn’t bother using music in order to help retain information. It was almost as if it was forgotten about. But, if music is so important why isn’t it allowed in most classrooms today? Many teachers are not fond of music in the classroom. To many, it is seen as a distraction. Is it the type of music a person chooses to listen to? Would it be different if the music chosen by

People now are asking whether or not music in the classroom is good or not. I believe that kids should listen to music in classes. It’ll help the kids think about what they have to

Living in a world surrounded by noises and sounds, one cannot deny that music lives all around them. Schools, street corners, sporting events, there is one thing you will always find: music. Music education is quickly becoming defunct in schools, as many try to decry its many benefits. A growing emphasis on the concrete subjects of math and science, whose benefits are more immediate, are pushing the creativity and imagination of music classes to the back of the budget. Music education is no longer described as stimulating and exciting, but rather unnecessary and distracting. But the benefits of having an education in music is undeniable. Simply being around music can have a positive impact on life. Music enables the human race to discover emotions that they have never uncovered before. The human mind is refreshed by music; “our imagination and memories are stimulated by the sounds, and summon feelings and memories associated with the musical sound” (Wingell 15). Without music, the world would be silent. Lifeless. No matter what language one speaks or what culture one is from, music is a universal language, connecting the hearts of people around the entire world. In schools throughout the nation, that connection is being severed because of budget cuts and lack of funding, but the benefits of music education are clear. The benefits of having an education in music are not only present in the classroom; a lasting impact is also left on the social and emotional growth of a person, though the gains may not be evinced immediately. Participating in musical education programs in schools can give students the opportunity to form lasting friendships and to gain skills that will last them their entire lives. Music education can be beneficial to students because it enhances students’ performance in the classroom, aids in improving student’s interest and engagement in school, and advances students’ social and emotional growth.

Do you ever imagine about your students in this way? As a mother and a teacher of three and four year olds, I think that when it comes down to Equitable Grading Issues Mr. Jones needs to understand that the students need to work in a mutual or collective setting in order to develop. They can use Interpersonal skills, which is the ability to work together productively with others. Students, mainly the ones that Mr. Jones is dealing with need to have a positive and secure setting for verbal communication, so you need to make sure that all students recognize and relate the main beliefs of enclosure and respect
