What makes a school good? (Part I)

Everyone is concerned about the quality of education a school offers, but how is quality measured? We often hear that schools in some countries are excellent, while schools in other countries are filled with problems. What factors should we be looking at to judge how 'good' schools are or aren't? I decided to do some research on the topic to see if I could come up with some answers.

One way of deciding if a school is good is by looking at how many students go on to university when they leave. If you look at all the schools in the world, the country which sends the highest numbers of its students to university is Finland. So, I looked at conditions in Finnish schools to see what made them so successful.

Often you will hear people say that the best schools are those that are strict. So, are the schools in Finland very strict? The answer is no, they aren't. They are usually very informal places with teachers and students sharing ideas. In fact, Finnish schools have a unique way of dealing with students and this could be the reason why they are so successful. While students in many countries spend long hours in school studying boring subjects, lucky students in Finland have short school days and ten weeks of summer holidays.Added to that, lunch is free and there are lots of lessons in sport, music and art.

Also, Finnish schools seem to have a different philosophy. They believe in equality and making school seem like a home away from home, so students feel comfortable and enjoy going there. The aim of the schools is not only to focus on 'good' students but also to provide extra help to students that need it. The result of this is that less able students do much better in Finland than they would in other countries.

Q2022985 Inglês
What is the process we should teach? It is the process of discovery through language. It is the process of exploration of what we know and what we feel about what we know through language. It is the process of using language to learn about our world, to evaluate what we learn about our world, to communicate what we learn about our world. Instead of teaching finished writing, we should teach unfinished writing, and glory in its unfinishedness. We work with language in action. We share with our students the continual excitement of choosing one word instead of another, of searching for the one true word.

Text 4A2-I

No utterance or written text is ever fully explicit, completely freestanding. To be understood, any text must be read in the light of prior knowledge, background information, expectations about genre and about sequence — all the aspects often considered together as “context”. Many of these factors are culturally specific, varying across languages and even within the various English-speaking communities and nations of the world. Oscar Wilde once called England and the United States “two countries divided by a common language”, and any American who has ever been asked by an English host or hostess when he or she would like to be “knocked up in the morning” knows that the common language can divide and lead to some potentially disastrous misunderstandings. We expect problems when communicating with speakers of other languages; more startling, however, is that such problems often occur between speakers of the same language.
These problems grow more acute when one is dealing with written texts, since the opportunity for clarifying discussion disappears, and they grow yet more acute with literary texts, which tend to lack some of the specifying contexts that head off misunderstandings in non-literary forms of discourse.

Text 4A1-II

You know a nun when you see one. The uniform, known as a habit, is a dead giveaway. But the outfit you’re picturing in your head might look very different from the one worn by the sisters at your local convent. And yet, each ensemble’s meaning is immediately clear. That’s because nuns abide by a sartorial system that is at once endlessly adaptable and instantly recognizable.
That’s an impressive feat for any visual system. In the case of nuns’ habits, that system relies on a standardized combination of symbolic elements. “It’s really a kit of parts”, says Lucienne Roberts, cofounder of a British publishing house devoted to design’s more esoteric subjects. For their latest book, Looking Good: A Visual Guide to the Nun’s Habit, Roberts worked with her team to dissect the dress of nuns from some 40 Catholic orders. The result is a fascinating work of reference on a subject to which you've almost certainly never paid much mind.
The book begins by cataloguing the various components that typically comprise a nun's habit. These may include things like veils, rosaries, tunics, medals, coifs (the cap worn under the veil), and sandals. It's a collection from which each religious order draws some, but not all, of its impeccable elements. This section provides the reader with a visual framework which relies on simple cues to distinguish between religious families.
For instance, many orders of nuns wear some form of girdle, be it a belt, a cord, or a cincture. Each type and subtype of garment carries specific connotations. Franciscan nuns, for instance, favor a cord over a leather belt, to reflect their order's devotion to poverty. Its four knots, plainly visible in the book as an illustration of the Franciscan garb, represent the order's vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure.
These are the kinds of minutiae encoded in the book's pages, which the authors color code to differentiate between the various orders. Even the nuns' orientation on the page is significant; some face towards the reader, while others face away. This is to distinguish between sisterhoods that are active in their communities from ones that live cloistered lives, respectively. The book itself, like the habits it analyzes, is a form of information design.

President Joe Biden predicted Thursday that student loan borrowers will start receiving relief – which is currently on hold over a court challenge – within weeks, projecting confidence that his administration will win the challenge. “We’re going to win that case. I think in the next two weeks you’re going to see those checks going out”, Biden told a TV news correspondent.

The Biden administration started taking student debt forgiveness applications on October 14 and officials have said it could take weeks to process and grant relief. Eligible borrowers won’t be receiving actual checks. Instead, they will see up to a $ 20,000 reduction in their student debt balances. The Department of Education has told borrowers who are eligible for automatic debt relief, without filing an application, not to expect the debt cancellation before November 14.

A federal appeals court put a temporary hold on the administration’s student loan forgiveness program last week, which barred the government from canceling loans covered under the new policy while the court considers a challenge brought by six Republican-led states. The Biden administration is also facing lawsuits from Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, and conservative groups such as the Job Creators Network Foundation and the Cato Institute.

Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, first announced in August, aims to deliver debt relief to millions of borrowers before federal student loan payments resume in January after a nearly three-year, pandemic-related pause.

The President made his comments during an interview with a local TV station network during his visit to Syracuse, New York, to tout a new deal on semiconductor manufacturing. With less than two weeks until the midterm elections Biden took questions on the economy, his message to voters, and the stalled student debt relief program. President Joe Biden is canceling some federal student loan debt, making a once pie-in-the-sky idea a reality. The application officially opened Monday, allowing low- and middle-class federal student loan borrowers to apply for up to $ 20,000 in debt relief.

A Mayor on Easter Island Is Up in Arms After a Runaway Pickup Truck Knocked Over a Sacred Statue


(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the islanders' civilization was still going strong when Europeans arrived in 1722.
(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island "heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion over the centuries).
(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline that the Easter Island society was already in decline by the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall into disrepair.
(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter Island, the authors determined the timeline of each monument's construction. Their findings indicate that Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least 1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have also served a more utilitarian purpose.
(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722 found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked over.
(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European collapse of monument construction is no longer supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology & Arts.
(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are many documented tragic events due to disease, murder, slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's] cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and deserves recognition."

Seven secrets to savvy packing before you head off on your holidays

(1º§) 1.Tuck and roll clothes
ITEMS like sarongs and dresses are vulnerable to creasing, but rolling them up and tucking them in tightly is the way to beat wrinkling. Or follow tidying guru Marie Kondo's advice and pack all of your clothes upright, rather than in a pile, so that you can see all of the outfits in your case.

(2º§) 2. Keep hats in shape
WHAT'S a holiday without a hat? If you need to put yours in a suitcase, make sure it's one of the first things you pack, and stuff it! A swimsuit works well as the cossie will keep its shape no matter what you pack it in. Then place small items such as underwear around it.

(3º§) 3. Stuff sandals to keep shape
YOU don't want your sandals to be bent out of shape while en route, so stuff them with a small item such as a pair of socks. That way they will also take up less room in your suitcase. You can also slot the ends of your sandals together to help preserve their shape even more.

(4º§) 4. The rule off three fold
THE rule of three is an effective way to keep smaller items such as T-shirts folded nice and tightly. Think of your T-shirt split into three equal parts down the middle. Fold each side into the centre, fold in half and then again until your item is small and compact.

(5º§) 5. Tie belts around shorts
IF you have a pair of shorts or trousers that have a tie, use it to your advantage. Remove it from the belt loops and once your item is rolled, wrap the tie around as many times as needed before tucking ends in. It will stop clothing unrolling and has the extra benefit of keeping the tie crease-free.

(6º§) 6. Fold up bag and add trinkets
FOLD your bag in half before placing it flat at the bottom of the suitcase. Then add your larger, rolleditems on top of the bag. It will stay as flat as possible and so avoid becoming misshapen. Add smaller items such as jewellery inside your rolled clothes to keep them safe.

(7º§) 7. Sunglasses protection
IF your sunglasses don't come with a protective case, then they need to be protected from being damaged during the journey, it's horribly easy to scratch the lenses. A soft sarong, which is all one fabric, is perfect for this. Pop your sunnies in, roll to the end, and pack it up.

ITEMS like sarongs and dresses are vulnerable to creasing, but rolling them up and tucking them in tightly is the way to beat wrinkling. Or follow tidying guru Marie Kondo's advice and pack all of your clothes upright, rather than in a pile, so that you can see all of the outfits in your case.

(2º§) 2. Keep hats in shape
WHAT'S a holiday without a hat? If you need to put yours in a suitcase, make sure it's one of the first things you pack, and stuff it! A swimsuit works well as the cossie will keep its shape no matter what you pack it in. Then place small items such as underwear around it.

(3º§) 3. Stuff sandals to keep shape
YOU don't want your sandals to be bent out of shape while en route, so stuff them with a small item such as a pair of socks. That way they will also take up less room in your suitcase. You can also slot the ends of your sandals together to help preserve their shape even more.

(4º§) 4. The rule off three fold
THE rule of three is an effective way to keep smaller items such as T-shirts folded nice and tightly. Think of your T-shirt split into three equal parts down the middle. Fold each side into the centre, fold in half and then again until your item is small and compact.

(5º§) 5. Tie belts around shorts
IF you have a pair of shorts or trousers that have a tie, use it to your advantage. Remove it from the belt loops and once your item is rolled, wrap the tie around as many times as needed before tucking ends in. It will stop clothing unrolling and has the extra benefit of keeping the tie crease-free.

(6º§) 6. Fold up bag and add trinkets
FOLD your bag in half before placing it flat at the bottom of the suitcase. Then add your larger, rolleditems on top of the bag. It will stay as flat as possible and so avoid becoming misshapen. Add smaller items such as jewellery inside your rolled clothes to keep them safe.

(7º§) 7. Sunglasses protection
IF your sunglasses don't come with a protective case, then they need to be protected from being damaged during the journey, it's horribly easy to scratch the lenses. A soft sarong, which is all one fabric, is perfect for this. Pop your sunnies in, roll to the end, and pack it up.
