Bored Gifted Students
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper. Gifted students are bored and dropping out of school at a terrible cost to themselves and to the nation. Yet, the loss does not seem to be understood by the general public who seems to believe that these youngsters, because they are bright, should be able to make it on their own without special services. By not addressing this issue more directly and forcefully, the educational system is, in effect, giving tacit approval for an entire group of students to become underachievers. This essay discusses the results of gifted students not receiving special services. A brief overview of students who are both gifted and learning disabled is also provided. The writer concludes that the school system must address this issue to allow these students to develop their potential. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The Promise Action Research Can Hold
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper discussing potential benefits of action research in education. In attempts to categorize and classify children and teachers, learning styles and behavior patterns, much of the focus of actually teaching children has been eclipsed by theory and mushrooming of cases in which learning disabilities have been diagnosed for any of those children not conforming to a specific teacher's teaching style or simply undergoing difficulties at home that make it difficult for the child to shift into a mode his teacher views as acceptable school behavior. Some researchers maintain that our psychology-based epistemology of human behavior fails to impart the whole story of its mechanism, and ultimately fails the entire educational system in achieving real classroom-based results. The paper discusses action research of training students to elicit positive attention from their teachers as a beginning point for diminishing the trend of labeling all non-conforming students as learning disabled. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
