As a jew, I have high regards for education, however, not for all
education, or for all teachers. Sometimes, what passes for education is
more like des-education rather than education and coersion sometimes
substitutes teaching. We are taught to think uncritically and not to
question. If education promotes critical thinking, questioning,
creativity and inquiry, I am all for it. Respecting authority masked as
education is not respect for education.

In talking with my Asian friends, it is understood that education is
to be taken seriously and that showing respect for your teachers is of
utmost importance. I know that teachers in China are highly respected.
I think it is also true of the Jewish culture. They too, seem to have a
high regard for education. Linda

(Yes, it's long, copy & paste)
Has a clear copy of the NRS descriptors for each level- this is similar
to what we have used in our staff development, in a nice PDF format

Hello all,
I am needing to communicate "grade level equivalency" categories with
adult
literacy volunteer tutors and would like to gather opinions on how to
best
do this. My first thought was to use the already established NRS
categories, which are:
Beginning Literacy (0-1.9 grade level)
Beginning ABE (2-3.9)
Low Intermediate ABE (4-5.9)
High Intermediate ABE (6-8.9)
Low Advanced ASE (9-10.9)
High Advanced ASE (11-12.9)
What do you think? Any better ideas out there??? Thanks in advance for
sharing your thoughts.

All of the students that I see in K-12 of asian linage have a strong
desire to
succeed due to family ddiscipline and code of work ethic. I am sadden
to see
others of upper middle class not interested in school and with less
respect than
asian breothers and sisters.

Can anyone explain how the children of Asian families do so well in
school?
These families have come to this country sometimes semi -literate to
illiterate,
yet their children shine in school.

While it is true, "the single most effective predictor of
children's
literacy is mother's
education level" is frequently quoted, there has been some
interesting research in this area. Victoria Purcell-Gates
researched
the effect of mothers' educational level on the children's emergent
literacy skills. What she discovered is that it was in the homes
where children saw their mother use her literacy skills for useful
purposes [read the TV guide, write a grocery list] that the
children
developed literacy skills. They saw reading as "useful."
