Honor Code by David Brooks
Main Idea: School systems should try teaching new things instead of the thing because its not working out for everyone. The education system needs to engage students in a way that is inclusive to each group within the population. Everyone learns in different ways.
Ethos: Appealing to the reader the reader through ethics and values. (Establishing credibility) What does the author bring to the table that allows us to trust and validate their opinion.
The eminent psychologist Michael Thompson mentioned at the Aspen Ideas Festival a few days ago that 11th-grade boys are now writing at the same level as 8th-grade girls
Connect to the main idea: it ties in because its showing girls are clearly becoming more advanced than boys. females are able to grasp a more advanced concept of writing than males can. It proves how boys are not learning or engaging in class or in education
Pathos: Appealing to the reader through emotions and feelings.
He is attempting to make the reader feel bad for boys.
Some colleges are lowering the admissions requirements just so they can admit a decent number of men.
Since then, the evidence that boys are falling behind has mounted. The case is closed. The numbers for boys get worse and worse
Connect to the main idea: the way that things are being taught seems to be more easier for females to understand than it is for males.
Logos: Appealing to the reader by using logic (facts).
Boys are much more likely to have discipline problems. An article as far back as 2004 in the magazine Educational Leadership found that boys accounted for nearly three-quarters of the D’s and F’s
After all, boys are falling behind not just in the U.S., but in all 35 member-nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Connect to to the main idea: even in other countries boys are falling back. something needs to change
It’s stating the fact that boys that are falling behind have a big impact on their life as a student
How does Brooks propose change?
Schools have to engage people as they are. That requires leaders who insist on more cultural diversity in school: not just teachers who celebrate cooperation, but other teachers who celebrate competition; not just teachers who honor environmental virtues, but teachers who honor military virtues; not just curriculums that teach how to share, but curriculums that teach how to win and how to lose; not just programs that work like friendship circles, but programs that work like boot camp.
He proposes Schools have to engage people as they are.
The basic problem is that schools praise diversity but have become culturally homogeneous. The education world has become a distinct subculture, with a distinct ethos and attracting a distinct sort of employee.
How do we propose change? Engaging students as they are.
How do we engage students?
-Helping and taking to them if they have a problem.
-Making them feel comfortable at school.
-Learn more about them.
-Include them and push them to be the best.
-Inspire students by motivating them instead of comparing them to other students who can do well in school
-making them feel noticed
Do we agree with what Brooks has written?
He is right and we need to do something.
social engineering is making all the same
