Ideal School School is an essential setting for students as they grow while improving their skills for life after school. To achieve that, a school environment that facilitates learning needs to be created. Critics have argued that the current schools are not competent enough to create the environment students need. For me, an ideal school would be able to achieve both academic achievements for all the students and maximum social development. The first approach I would look for is to ask for suggestions from students regarding the learning environment. By understanding what they need or feel is important, I will be able to consider it and include it in my ideal school if necessary. One of the most important factors to consider in the ideal school would be the infrastructure. The building to be used by the students would be ultra-modern for enhanced safety for all students. The classrooms would be small to avoid overcrowding. Also, all building would have sufficient lighting and have air-conditioned. Besides the classes, a modern and well-equipped library would be built. This will encourage students…

Importance of Learning a Heritage Language Option 2: what choice would you have made if allowed to learn your heritage language? Other than facilitating communication among individuals, a heritage language symbolically represents a person’s identity, culture, family background, and connection to a particular ethnic group (Choi, 2013). An individual who understands and fluently speaks a heritage language maintains a strong bond with the relatives, both abroad and domestically. A heritage language is equally a requirement for a person to understand the historical background of their communities. Ideally, every language contains exemplary methods of expressing and passing down ideas, concepts, cultural customs, and values spanning from various aspects of human life, such as religion and tradition. In most cases, only the native speakers of the heritage language could get these community ideals revealed to them. A basic understanding of a heritage language often speeds up the process of learning a second language, which promotes bilingualism. When a comparison is generated between a monolingual and a bilingual student, it is found out that the latter has enhanced cognitive abilities than the former,…

GreenWalt, (2016) further notes that over thirty thousand of Alaskan students indulging in homeschooling form the highest rate in the country. The survey also indicated that most of the urban professionals seek the best education for their c hildren, an aspect that charms them to homeschooling. Despite the move, homeschooling is also affiliated with both social and cognitive development. The opposition to the development, on the contrary, claims that homeschooling leaves much of the mandate to the parents who can restrict the contact of children to both the external environments and perspectives. While in isolation, the subjects are said to be vulnerable to both abuse and extremism. The opposition further affiliates the choice of parents to homeschooling as a tactic for evading fear rather than catering for the child’s needs. Proponents, on the contrary, believe that homeschooling is somewhat healthy since the learners are subject to both personalized attention and control. Anecdotal evidence alongside research affirms the fact that the…

Administration of physical education Describe division of labor within an organization as a tool for efficiency. Give examples to explain how different departments within a sports organization use specialization to achieve division of labor. (7.5 points) Division of labor involves simplifying the available work by splitting it into smaller categories then distributing it to different departments according to their specializations. Bulky work is efficiently done when divided among people and then re-connecting it during the output process. This makes the task a bit easier and faster as people work independently in different stations but with a common goal. The work is made efficient as different stations participate individually and take their time to come up with better production of the part of the activity (Mupepi & Boachie, 2017). This ensures faster production and professional work as the participants are well specialized in the activity. Division of labor is evident in various organizations as the departments are organized in the order of their specialization, which enables them to come up with high quality outputs.
