Assignment Question

Instruction for Essay Be sure to: Write an essay that answers the questions: What is educational inequality? What causes educational inequality? Which group of students have schools failed to meet the needs of? How does the charter or out-of-school program that you designed address the needs of those students? Incorporate in the essay explanations for the choices you made in regards to your charter school or out-of-school program Incorporate content from course readings into your discussion Apply additional research you conduct on your own to support your discussion Follow guidelines: 5-7 pages in length Double-spaced Times New Roman or Courier fonts only Word or Google Docs format only Correct APA or MLA formatting Include references page Minimum 10 peer-reviewed sources I will provide you with one source. Please find the other 7 sources (scholar sources) and cite them in MLA format at the end. I need at least 3 in-text citations. I will also provide a quote so you can use it as one of the in-text citations. Provided source: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02680939.2017.1341552.

Summary: This source explores the rise and lasting impact of “prestige charter schools,” attracting affluent families and exacerbating educational segregation. Despite efforts to limit their expansion, these schools persist due to their high test scores and strong support. The focus shifts to improving their relationship with local communities and district schools. The advice includes attracting diverse families to district schools, while urging prestige charters to enroll low-income students. The texts emphasize adopting successful strategies from these charters while ensuring educators retain decision-making power and promoting equity in policies. They stress socioeconomically balanced schools, community values, transparent recruitment, and equitable access to counteract segregation and favoritism. The goal is to cultivate genuine partnerships between charter schools and communities, fostering diversity and fairness in education for all students. Quote: “The demographics, theme, parental involvement, and reputation result in a feeling of exclusivity akin to a private school, which exacerbates already existent factors such as charter confusion, a lottery system, and sibling preference, to leave low-income families largely excluded from prestige charters.“

Personal Notes I am thinking of a tuition-free charter school for gifted low-income students (K-12). It requires families to provide proof of low income (thinking of the bottom 5%), and students must take entry tests (non-bias basic skill tests). The school will provide small classes (12 maximum) and qualified teachers (educated and trained) with quality meals and dormitories for students.

Explain Parfit’s argument. Do you think Parfit is right that identity is not what matters? Why/why not?

December 14, 2023 by Best Writer

Assignment Question

In this paper, you will write an essay of at least 1800 words (but no more than 2000 words) in response to the following prompts: If you teletransport to another planet, we might wonder whether the resulting person is you; that is, we might wonder whether you have really survived the process. Derek Parfit argues that identity is not really what matters when we consider our futures in such cases. He reaches this conclusion by considering fission, or “branching” cases. Explain Parfit’s argument. Do you think Parfit is right that identity is not what matters? Why/why not? A philosophy paper consists of the reasoned defense of some claim
• Your paper must offer an argument. It can’t consist in the mere report of your opinions, nor in a mere report of the opinions of the philosophers we discuss. You have to defend the claims you make.A good philosophy paper is modest and makes a small point; but it makes that point clearly and straightforwardly, and it offers good reasons in support of it. This is not a research paper; you do not need to cite sources outside of the assigned texts. You should be wary of consulting outside sources. Why?
• Many of them are very bad. Without knowledge of credible journals etc., you are likely to stumble upon some very bad philosophy.
• I don’t want to see the most interesting/sophisticated/convincing argument out there. I want to see your argument. You can (and often should) write in the first person. (e.g., “I will argue that…”)
• You should say at the very beginning (i.e. the introduction) of your paper what your thesis is, and what your main line of argument is. (No surprises!) Sophisticated, technical, or unfamiliar language is undesirable. Say what you want to say in the clearest way possible. (Philosophy is hard enough as it is!)
• Quotations are undesirable if they take the place of your explaining the material yourself. You should make the structure of your paper obvious to the reader. Your reader shouldn’t have to exert any effort to figure it out.
• How can you do this? Make it clear what sort of move you’re making at each point in your paper. Say things like: …We’ve just seen how X says that P.

• Nothing should go into your paper which does not directly address the prompt. Explain yourself fully

• pretend that your reader is lazy, stupid, and mean. He’s lazy in that he doesn’t want to figure out what your convoluted sentences are supposed to mean, and he doesn’t want to figure out what your argument is, if it’s not already obvious. He’s stupid, so you have to explain everything you say to him in simple, bite-sized pieces. And he’s mean, so he’s not going to read your paper charitably
