NO Originally, the purpose of organized sports for young children was to teach them the basics of the game and skills needed to play, to practice good sportsmanship, and to have fun. The beginnings of organized sports over 100 years ago, the purpose then was to get the growing numbers of rowdy children off the streets and to teach them values. Joe Fish, director of the Center for Sports Psychology in Philadelphia adds to this stating, “The main purpose of youth sports is to emphasize effort, participation and skill development”. According to Fish, parents and coaches are too worried about the outcome of the game and are getting away from the initial purpose.

YES!

NOIn Dennis Carlson’s work, The Question Concerning Curriculum Theory, he

explores the philosophy of American curriculum theorist, William Pinar. Pinar warns of how bureaucracy types have hijacked social foundations to further their agenda. We have gone about our business, building our academic careers out of scholarly journal articles, feeling protected in the academy, and essentially letting bureaucratic elites(now in league with corporate elites and religious evangelical leaders) take over the public schools. But progressive teachers and teacher educators must do more that take on bureaucratic and corporate state elites in taking back their profession. Pinar argues that they also will need to take on the continuing legacy of racism and misogyny in America, and, as Pinar writes, to address the “deferral and displacement of racism and misogyny onto public education” (9). Public school teachers’ disempowerment has to do with the feminization of the field, and also the fact that they increasingly teach poor black and Latina/Latino youth. The challenges facing teachers and teacher educators are thus considerable, and if we are to have some idea of how to get out of the nightmare that is the present, we must know something about how we got here. (para. 6) A study by American sociological theorist James Coleman connected a family’s socio-economic status to student learning. “Beginning with the evidence reported by Coleman and colleagues (1966), study after study suggests that socioeconomic status of families explains more than half of the difference in student achievement across schools…postsecondary education and levels of both adult employment and income” (How leadership influences student learning, 2010, para. 5).

No“I will explain in this final project how gangs

are destroying youth in our country.”

(keep yourself out of your formal academic research paper)*3rd person

(no I, we, our, us, me, my, etc…)

But, why?

What is 3rd Person?

Third person narrative form is writing from the omniscient point of view.

NO I, you, we, our, us, my…etc…

“I think there was a bank robbery reported on Elm Street at 3 o’clock.”

Which is more professional for the anchor to say?

Why 3rd person does not work…

YES!Before

Gangs are a growing problem in our country, but we must get involved in programs to help them get out.

AfterGangs are a growing problem in the United States, yet when society gets involved through various programs,

juveniles have a chance at a gang-free childhood.

Relax…these things take time to learn…
