How is this a public school system? (opinion)

      Banning parental donations to public schools, contingent upon the provincial government funding all school to a level where donations would be really unnecessary. Plan B on the other hand; pooling all parental donations and distributing them evenly is a pretty brazen ask. 


      The most marginalized 20%of the school.... raise less than 1/3 of the funds that the least marginalized 20%of school raise. Toronto District School Board (TDSB) the top 10 fundraisers brought in $515 per student and got an average 8.75 out of 10 rating. Unfountunetly the bottom 10 fundraisers brought in $17 per student, and averaged a 5.3 rating. The top 10 TDSB schools in the FRASER INSTITUTE rankings, all ranked 10 out of 9.9 and raised an average of $164.45 per studeent. the bottom 10 rankede an average of 2.3, and brought in an average of $58.64.


     Also if it wasn;t for teachers, all the donations would be nothing. You can't replace exelent teachers, with money.


     But, the provincial curriculum should be available to all students without an extra dime being paid. It is not fair that students with not alot of money, should not be able to participate in school activites and events. But some programs such as the Pathway to Education, the unapologetically interventionist and spectacularly successful let students who are less fortunet  graduate.  Programs like that would cost a fortune, but with a few long-term government investments promise better payoffs down the line.

     

   

How is this a public school system? (summary)

       It's a fact that schools  full of rich kids raise more money from parents than public schools full of poor kids.
     
       Is a public school in Rosedale better than one in Malvern? If you answer yes than what kind of public-education system do we have?  

      Their is a report that recommend banning parental donations to public schools, contingent upon  the provincial government funding all schools to a level where donations would be unnecessary. They would be  better off with their Plan B which is pooling all parental donations and distributing them evenly but even that's a pretty brazen ask.

     There is a report that is comparing fundraising between Toronto District School Board learning index.  The more money that a school fundraisers per student the school would get a better rating , the less money a school fundraises per student the school would get a lower rating.

     This does not mean a straight-line correlation between fundraising and academic achievement, as the top 10 ranking schools show. It does not mean that because you don't raise more money than another school your grade would be better.  It will depend on the teachers you have in the school, they are worth more than the donations.

     Provincial curriculum should be available to all students without a single extra dime being paid.  Since no student should be excluded from participating in any school activity or event base on the ability to pay, some activities or event may require some recovery of the cost for participation.

     The more money a school funraises the better programs they have for example the Pathways to Education, the unapologetically interventionist and spectacularly successful program, that help prods, lures and counsels student.  While the poorer school who do not fundraise and  bring in more money they cannot afford this  program for their school.  Such programs cost a fortune, relatively speaking, but it is paid by all of us whether or not we have kids and wherever they go to school.  A few long-term government investments promise better payoffs down the line.  People have always debated the importance of social inequalities but no one dines the importance of education.

Would e-learning work in a elementry school?

    E-learning may or may not be appropriate for an elementry school.  The primary grades may not be able to use such advance technology for their school learning. Most primary students will probably have a difficult time in understanding the program and will need help 24/7. Also studies show that students prefer and learn more when a teacher is teaching than a computer. Also since the primary students are younger they would probably use it less often than much older grades.

    The junior and intermediate grades, also may not be able to handle such advance technology. Most junior  and intermediate students would probably have some type of difficulties. Technology will always make it easier but not always better. Imagine that you finally finish elementry school and go to high school  but there is no e-learning program there. What will you do? Sometimes e-learning can help us finish the work but it isn't always better in that way. Studies show that 4 out of 5 students said they would rather watch a live stream of a lecture than attend it in person. 

     It cost millions for this program to be used.  The e-learning program offers alot of convenience. Even though the program is extremely organized and is kind of easy to use  but doesn't always mean that it is better. Emily Lunardo 22, said that she doesn't think the online forums and other web-tools improved her university experience. But it have helped others in her class who are less outspoken and prefer to state their opinions on a message board. Emily definitely prefer the in-class because she thinks were getting to a point in society where we don't know how to communicate anyone. She also says that " Some people think it's boring but i think it's important.

     Now other people have different opinions on  whether or not e-learning programs is appropriate for elementry schools. I am just stating my opinion and  i think e-leaning should be for much more older grades instead of students in an elementry school.
