Summary Of Rapper Sean Combs
The title of the article I read is Rapper Sean Combs co-founds charter school by Amanda Holpuch. Sean Combs is a famous rapper, clothing designer and music producer. The article states that the school he is co-funding is in Harlem,New York.The school will be called Capital Preparatory Harlem. It was revealed that he is doing this because he wants children to be able to pursue their dreams and be our future leaders with a quality education. Not everybody is with him in this decision. Some people think it takes money away from the public schools while others think that it is the only way to help poor communities. Mr. Combs is not the only celebrity that believes this. Rapper Pitbull and NBA veteran Jalen Rose also have leaded the opening of a

    Jay Z the Rap Artist and Business Mogul: His Rise to the Top

    Chapter 4 – Case StudyJay Z the Rap Artist and Business Mogul: His Rise to the TopPlease read Chapter 4's Case Study on pages 116-118 and answer the following questions: 1. As mentioned in the case, Jay-Z wears several hats with respect to the several business ventures he manages. What does this say about his time management skills? Time management means techniques designed to enable people to get more done in less time with better results. Jay-Z is known for multitasking. In the text it says research has found that people who multitask are actually less efficient than those who focus on one thing at a time. This was not the case for Jay-Z. Jay-Z took multitasking to a new level. He had many accomplishments including his musical career, co-owning the 40-40 club, partially owning the New Jersey Nets, and creating Rocawear. He also was the CEO of Def Jam Recordings, a founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, and the founder of Roc Nation. He also changed the face of Hip-Hop from baggy to dressy. What does this say about his time management? I would say that this says Jay-Z took time management and put a new face on it. He showed that he knew how to manage things while multitasking and become a very successful person. He analyzed his time well and showed that nothing is impossible. Not even multitasking. He knew his priorities, objectives, and plans and he scheduled them perfectly. 2. Step 1 and 2 in the career planning model are self-assessment and career preference and exploration. What in the case will support the possibility that Jay-Z implicitly did a self-assessment before launching into a music career as a rapper?Jay-Z has always had a sense of his career preference. When his mother got him the boom box and he discovered how well he liked music he put it in his head that he was a entrepreneur just like other successful rappers. This showed that viewed himself as successful.…

    Connecticut Supreme Court Case Summary

    The landmark Sheff v. O’Neill Connecticut Supreme Court decision will have a dramatic effect on the state of education in the great state of Connecticut. The de-facto segregation of Connecticut public schools over several years has been a troubling trend that has ultimately led to the decision reached by the court. The low performance of schools in the Hartford area has been a concern of many parents and educators. A child’s education is the most valuable tool a child can receive to prepare themselves for the world. The people of Connecticut must recognize the impact that failing schools can have on the entire state. The people in the Connecticut General Assembly and yourself must act to ensure each child has a chance at fulfilling their God given talents. However, I do not believe the Connecticut Supreme Court was correct in saying that it is the…

    Eva Moskowitz Influence On Education

    This is amazing because it shows that Eva Moskowitz cares about not just the education of her own students but is also attempting to spread the resources and allow others to benefit and grow from her educational methods. She believes more high quality options need to be there for students because there are huge amounts of students not getting the quality education they need and there are somewhere near 50,000 students stuck on charter school waiting lists and they won't all get in. Eva Moskowitz' Charter School System is reimagining the way K-12 public education is being taught and is achieving excellent results for her…

    Still Separate Still Unequal Analysis

    Also how they portray many of the schools to be diverse but in all reality there is no such thing. By the statistic given in the beginning of the article, that is merely enough proof to show there is no diversity in the schools today; which brings us to the main point of the article of schools being separate. Before we can even focus on the part of education, it seems as if the students were more focused on the appearance of their institutions. If an institution looks and feels great, then the students would be more encouraged to learn. Students should never have to bring forth asking questions like why don’t they have a garden, nice parks to play in, or why aren’t they using their gym for extracurricular but more so to just line up. In their minds, they should be entitled to these opportunities. Why? Because they see the schools in the suburban areas have these things, all the things that they…

    Where We Stand Class Matters Essay

    Hooks talks about this divide being the root of the spike in violence we have seen, sense it is comparable to a sports team, not necessarily by physical violence, but verbal violence and vocal displeasures that only makes this divide worse. The other reason I think this idea make sense is because of how relatable it is to our public school system here in America. The schools that are on top, are the schools that continually strive academically because they have the most resources or materialistic items to help them stay on top. The reason they stay there is because they receive the most funding and support from local government because they are the best in the area, which is the same idea as Hooks example in her book where she states that those who are on top get there because of their surrounding financial support. Now, as these schools are on top everyone strives to be like them because they want the best for their students, however, they don’t have the resources these other schools have to make it to the top. This then evokes a divide between the different types of schools because of their financial situation and lack of resources to serve their students and push these schools to envy those who are on…

    Phi 105 Persuasive Essay

    You may be wondering what a charter schools is. According to The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, charter schools are public schools that are independently operated and are given the ability to use innovative teaching in exchange for assured improved student achievement. A charter is formed by the work of a group of educators, parents, educational leaders, and others that come together and develop the school 's mission statement, guiding principles, governing body, and the measure for accountability. They then submit the proposal to the state for approval. If the charter is granted then there is an agreement made between the state and the school, and because of the charters autonomy there is a higher level of expectation imposed. Not only by the state, but also by themselves, and ultimately by the people as enrollment is based on their choice.…

    Letter of complaint for educating essex

    Another reason why your article is extremely biased is the heart warming moment when Mr.Goddard jumps out behind his office door, assembling a “V” with his fingers to his deputy head Mr. Drew. You have cited this as an extremely childish thing to do. Although most reasonable people in the nation saw this as a close bond between a head teacher and his deputy head who work in an extremely stressful working environment, letting of some steam behind closed doors and away from the students eyes. Although some people may see this as a childish thing to do, I imagine running a comprehensive school can be extremely difficult and stressful.…

    waiting for superman

    Grounds: In Alabama 18% of 8th graders are proficient in math, 14% in Mississippi, 40% in New Jersey, 35% in Connecticut, 40% in New York, 26% in Arizona, and 24% in California. These statistics further prove the claim that many schools in America are doing well below average work in teaching and preparing students to get jobs and be well educated citizens. Sometimes it isn’t the parent’s choice to send their son or daughter to these failing schools. Why should they be even more penalized, especially penalizing a young child? Some of the parents are very involved and it’s the teachers who are not doing well and making the learning environment nonexistent. We now have really good, time-tested knowledge of what works in education. We know that good teachers accelerate student learning and poor ones significantly impede it. Parent engagement makes an enormous difference. And with every step down the economic scale, good teachers and parent engagement matters more. We’ve also learned that this knowledge has seldom affected the assignment of teachers, whose own preferences and protective work rules lead them to the schools whose students need them least – but whose political clout is greatest. Failing schools don’t usually attract the best teachers. And the system doesn’t place them there. Skip to next paragraphWe’ve learned that, for teachers, greater experience and more college credits are a weak indicator of teacher quality measured by the all-important question of a teacher’s consistent ability in improving her student’s learning. For school leaders – principals and superintendents – experience does matter. More experienced leaders tend to be better at their jobs. Most important, we have learned – and are still learning – just how important leadership is to the whole reform effort. We know that strong…

    Still Separate, Still Unequal

    He wrote an article called "Still Separate, Still Unequal" about poverty schools compared to wealthy schools. This article also included a story about a student teacher wanted to bring in a pumpkin for her students because it was around Halloween. The only way that the teacher would be able to bring in something like that would to try to apply it to some curriculum to help educate the children while they carve the pumpkin. So she created a curriculum that would contain science, arithmetic and some language of arts. Even though she created a lesson for them, it still did not apply to California's standardized test that the children would have to take but it did give the children a new insight on objects such as pumpkins. This lesson even though it would not help them would stick with them for a while. They are always the strongest topics when a teacher actually takes their time to develop a lesson that would help a child learn the curriculum rather than the curriculum just handed to them right away like in Mike Rose article on "I Just Want to Be Average." Mike Rose, a professor of education from UCLA, wrote this article about the segregation in schools and how differently classes can be taught. He said in this article that one of his teacher as a kid was not very educated in English that the students would have to "read the district's required text Julius Caesar aloud for the whole semester and once they were done, the students would continue to read the book over and switch parts." Does this really educate a student? To just give a children a book and say "here, you read this and find the meaning out for yourself." I find that doing activities and at least talking about the book gives you different…
