ReadWorks News Debate: Virtual Ed

Do cyber schools make the grade?Students in Caldwell, Idaho, can attend class in their pajamas! At Vallivue Virtual Academy, coursesare taught online. Students work at home with parents, who serve as learning coaches. A certifiedteacher oversees the students’ progress.

The cyber school was launched as a free option for students in kindergarten through grade 8 whohave trouble succeeding in the district’s traditional public school. Supporters of the program say thatvirtual schools help students avoid the social pressures that can interfere with learning. In addition,supporters argue, online courses provide kids with more focused instruction and course options thanthey can get in a typical school.

Not everyone gives cyber schools a passing grade, however. Some educators argue that onlinelearning makes it hard for students to make friends. Many parents also feel that cyber schools putunrealistic time demands on them because they have to oversee their kids’ daily work.

Are virtual schools a valid option? Current Events student reporters Sophia Platcow and PeterBrosnan each log in on a side.

ReadlAlorks News Debate: Virtual Ed

Crash Course to FailureTechnology can benefit education, but it shouldn’t take over education. Students who go to virtualschools will miss many of the benefits of being in a real school.

If kids attend school online, they will miss out on important social interactions. Payton Mcdonough,13, a seventh grader from Glencoe, Ill., agrees. “I don’t know how I could sit at a computer all daywithout actually interacting with my peers and teachers,” he says.

In addition, virtual schools don’t have enough structure. Students who take online courses can settheir own schedules, which will cause problems for students who have trouble staying motivated.

Furthermore, online schooling puts stress on parents because they have to supervise what their kidsdo at home. Many parents have full-time jobs. How are they going to run their children’s education,excel in their jobs, and take care of their other responsibilities at home?

Virtual schools will make it harder for students to learn and will put too much pressure on parents.

It’s Time for TechIn this ever-changing age of technology, it is important for students to learn to work in the virtualworld.

Virtual learning does not need to replace classroom learning entirely, but it can help students work attheir own pace. If students struggle with subjects, they can take those courses online and spend moretime on them. Valerie VanSelous, a teacher from Hopewell Township, N.J., agrees. “Teachers,students, and parents need to embrace new technology and not be afraid of it. Offering differentteaching aids just might be the key to unlocking a student’s potential.”

Virtual schools can also offer students much more flexible schedules. Students often juggleextracurricular activities, sports, and schoolwork, and cyber schools could help them manageeverything.

Finally, attending virtual school can prepare students for college and for work after graduation. “Weneed to be responsible for working on our own,” says Angela Goscilo, a senior from Pound Ridge,N.Y. “We need to develop technology skills that will help us in whatever we do. Getting an early startis a good idea.”

Native Americans and freedom of religion

Image 1. This undated photograph from the 1 800s reads Chiricahua Apaches Four Months After Arriving at Carlisle. This portrait of a

grouo ofAaches at the Carlisle boarding school in Pennsylvania was typical of ones during this period of forced assimilation. Before and

after ‘contrast photos were sent to officials in Washington, to potential charitable donors and to other reservations to recruit new students.

Founded in 1879 under U. S governmental authority by General Richard Henry Pratt. Carlisle was the first federally funded off-reservation

Native American boarding school. Pratt’s photographs showing his quick results helped persuade Washington that he was doing vital work.

Image courtesy of the Richard Henry Pratt Papers, Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library Yale University.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitutionpromises freedom of religion for everyone. However,the law has been inconsistently applied to NativeAmerican religions.

Europeans first made contact with Native Americans

NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC

about 500 years ago. During the early years and throughout much of the colonial period thatfollowed, Native American religions were not properly recognized. Europeans struggled with thefact that there has never been a single Native American religion.

Many Native American religions have certain similarities. They feature a creator as well as othergods. Place, land and nature are important, along with sacred locations such as burial grounds.The sacred and the non-sacred are not as distinct as in European religions.

Toward the end of the i8oos, the United States began trying to force Native Americans to adoptmore European American cultural practices. Native Americans were pushed off of their land andonto reservations. The government also established Native American boarding schools. Theschools separated the children from their parents, making it easier to make the children forgettheir language and cultural practices. The children were also forced to learn and practiceChristianity, even though the schools were run by the government. V

The government believed that Native American traditions got in the way of the assimilation of thechildren. In 1883, Hiram Price was Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He was in charge of how thegovernment treated Native Americans. Price created a set of rules that became known as the “Codeof Indian Offences.” The code outlawed many traditional Native American religious practices.Religious leaders were not allowed to discourage children from going to the boarding schools. Ifpeople participated in the outlawed activities, they would not get food and sometimes they went toprison.

Congress Takes Steps To Protect Native American Religions

Religious leaders were not allowed to stop children from attending tile government schools.Ivloreover, they were not allowed to encourage Native American traditions. Other Native Americanpractices were also outlawed.

The code would remain in effect until at least 1934. In 1934, John Collier was tile new

Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He issued a statement saving that the government would nolonger get in the way of Native American practices. ‘The cultural liberty of Indians is in all respectsto be considered equal to that of any non-Indian group,” he said.

In 1978, Congress passed and President Carter signed the American Indian Religious FreedomAct, or AIRFA. The law recognized that the government had been preventing the practice of NativeAmerican religions. They admitted that the government had also restricted access to sacred sitesand use of sacred objects and materials.

In 1988, a court case called Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association came upbefore the Supreme Court. The government Forest Service wanted to build a logging road. r11leroad would cut through the sacred lands in the Chimney Rock area of the Six Rivers NationalForest in California. Building the road would harm the religions of three Native American tribes.After close inspection, government agencies decided tile road should not be built.

However, the Forest Service went ahead with construction. Tile Forest Service argued that tileroad would be far from the religious sites.

rUbe tribes sued, but ultimately the Supreme Courtallowed construction of tile road. It decided that while people could not be forced to practicecertain religions, the government did not need to meet every person’s religious needs.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act Is Passed

Eight years later, President Bill Clinton went against the Court’s decision. He ordered thatgovernment agencies had to allow for access to and use of sacred sites. Further, the agencies mustavoid harming such sites.

More recently, the Supreme Court also addressed the issue of religious use of a drug called peyoteby members of the Native American Church. Tile church is a mix of Christian and Native American


practices. Peyote is a cactus which can cause hallucinations when eaten. Using it is against the lawin the United States. The Supreme Court decided that the church must follow laws with generallyvalid purposes.

In response, Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Religious Freedom RestorationAct, or RFRA. The RFRA stated that the government could not stop someone’s religious practiceeven through a generally valid law. Some 21 states have since passed their own versions of theRFRA. The AIFRA was also changed. Now, the law specifically allows for use of peyote bymembers of the Native American Church.

The government is no longer actively trying to get rid of Native American culture. Some progressto free religious exercise has been made. However, traditional Native religious practices can stillcome into conflict with state and federal laws.


Quiz

Click....., click click.

You’re on a roller coaster.

It’s climbing slowly up a hill.

All you see is the top of the hill and open sky.

“Ugh,”you think to yourself.

Click.. click.. .click.

You’re 40 stories up.

With only a metal bar for safety.

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!

You’re at the very top of the hill.

Silence.

All you see is the bottom of the hill.

It’s very far away.

You’re scared.

“I want to go home.”

WH00000000000000000000SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!n!!!!!!

You pick up speed as your stomach lifts up and out of its usual, happy place.

Halfway down the hill, you’re already going 70 miles per hour. Your screams (if they can claw theirway out of your mouth) are almost behind you by the time they leave your mouth.

You reach the bottom of the hill but immediately start to climb another big hill. Your stomach takes asecond to feel alright again.

You drop again, and your intestines also take a stroll.

The bottom of this hill yields no breathing room as you realize you are about to go upside down.

A loop-the-loop.

Yes, your feet are now above your head and you’re so disoriented you don’t see what the loop-the-loop feeds into.

A corkscrew. Not only are you upside down again, but you’re spinning at the same time.

The corkscrew feeds into a spiral, which pins you to the seat. It’s a good thing because you’resideways.

“I waited in line for 50 minutes to be tortured?!”

When you come out of the spiral, you shoot straight back up and down a smaller hill.

This hill is child’s play, but uh-oh, you can’t see the bottom.

All you see is a black hole.

Lights flash.

People scream.

You scream.

All the screams bounce around inside the dark, cramped tunnel.

It’s loud.

It’s scary.

More lights flash.

“Why am I here?!”

You see a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s above you.

You shoot up and out of the tunnel.

You hear brakes activate, and you slow to a stop.

The ride is over.

You’re alive.

You’re back where you first got into this death trap and see a hungry line of people salivating overyour seat.

“You can have it.”

The amusement park tries to sell pictures of you screaming your head off.

“You can have them.”

You need to sit down.

In a chair that doesn’t move.

***

After surviving a roller coaster, most riders would say they just had a thrilling ride. Some wouldmention how scary it was. Some wouldn’t say anything as they focused on racing back to the end ofthe line, ready to wait 50 minutes for another chance to feel Hke their stomach was in their mouth.

But how many riders would mention the great application of potential energy to generate a massiveamount of kinetic energy with the sole intention of delivering an exhilarating two-minute roller coasterride?

Very few, and yet, that’s all a roller coaster is.

As you go up and down, you and the roller coaster are just experiencing changes in potential energyand kinetic energy.

As you click up the first big hill, you are moving forward and have a certain amount of kinetic energy.As you climb, you are also building potential energy. The higher you go, the greater your potentialenergy. If the roller coaster never went down the hill and just stayed up there, your potential energywould still be there, but it would never be converted to kinetic energy.Read Works.org © 2013 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

ReadlNorks Energy Screams

Don’t worry. Almost all roller coaster designers build a track that brings you back down.

At the top of the first and tallest hill, your potential energy is at its highest it will ever be on this ride.

As you begin to descend, your potential energy decreases until it’s all gone at the bottom of the hill.

At the bottom of the first hill, your kinetic energy is at its highest point. You’re going as fast as you’ll

ever go on this roller coaster ride.

To ensure the fun keeps going, the roller coaster’s designers put in the second hill. If the first hill were

the ride’s only one, the fun would be over sooner. Without going back up another hill to increase

potential energy again, this gravity-driven roller coaster could still do a few things with its remaining

kinetic energy, but just not as much. One of the marvels of a well-designed roller coaster is its ability

to harness the energy built with the first hill as long as possible. The second hill picks up where the

first one left off and builds potential energy on the way up, and converts that to kinetic energy on the

way down.

The loop-the-loop works the same way in that the highest point of the loop is where the roller

coaster’s potential energy is at its highest. On the way down and out of the loop-the-loop, it converts

into kinetic energy and rolls onto the next stomach-churning thrill.

That last hill with the dark tunnel-bottom is a segment of the roller coaster designed to extract one last

scream, but to also burn off some kinetic energy. The fact that you are looking up at the exit of the

tunnel means you’ve hit the bottom of that hill. Once you’re past the bottom, the roller coaster is

fighting gravity to go up and therefore decreasing in kinetic energy. This helps lower the power and

energy to slow the roller coaster to a smoother stop.

***

Some people love roller coasters. Others loathe them. Wherever you fall on the roller coaster

love/loathe spectrum, it is this mix of potential energy and kinetic energy that affects your feelings

toward roller coaster rides. Whether the roller coaster is made out of metal or wood, or you’re sitting,

standing, or lying on your stomach, the roller coaster is still delivering that mix.

Different materials or where you’re sitting on the roller coaster do actually affect how you experience

the potential energy and kinetic energy. Roller coaster tracks made of steel, as opposed to wood, can

create less friction and therefore offer a smoother ride. This means that the potential and kinetic

energies created are delivered more efficiently to the roller coaster and ultimately, to you. Where you

are sitting in the roller coaster can affect your ride as well. If you’re sitting in the back, you will feel

weightless. If you’re sitting in the front, you will see everything that’s designed to make you scared,

like the first big drop.

All of the rides at amusement parks have a mix of potential energy and kinetic energy. It’s just that

with roller coasters, the extreme heights and speeds make the energies extremely apparent and

unforgettable.

Make sure you’re healthy enough to ride a roller coaster. Some people’s bodies aren’t fit to

experience a roller coaster and that’s fine. If you can ride a roller coaster, try to enjoy it!

A library in Haiti: a community effortBy AmeHe Baron, Agence France-Presse on 04.13.18Word Count 667Level MAX

Book by book, and with donations large and small — some from peop1e who are illiterate — alibrary is taking shape in one of the poorest places in destitute Haiti.

Cite Soleil, a slum in the capital Port-au-Prince that is home to half a million people, used to beknown for how dangerous it was as gangs fought each other in its narrow alleys for control of theneighborhood.

That violence ended about two years ago, and one of the young men living in the slum came upwith the idea of building a place for people to read and learn.

“The youths who were fighting each other reached an understanding. They wanted peace. So wesaid we needed to create a movement to get guns out of kids’ hands and replace them with books,”said Joseph Benson, 27.

Access to education is weak in Cite Soleil, which opens onto Port-au-Prince Bay — it has only onepublic high school. Nationwide, half of all Haitians cannot read or write, according to the UN

Workers during the construction of the Konbit library in a neighborhood of Cite Soieil, in the capital of Haiti, Port-auPrince, in March 2018.

children’s agency, UNICEF.

Over the years, Haiti has seen many social development projects win financing from nongovernmental organizations or foreign countries but many did not make it off the drawing board.Of those that did, many fizzled out due to lack of public support.

The youths behind the library project were acutely aware of this and went directly to the people ofCite Soleil.

“We decided we had to get everyone in Cite Soleil involved. So we took to the street and startedasking for donations,” said Benson.

“Everyone Needs To Participate”

The name of the project features the Creole word ‘konbit’, which recalls collective work done in thecountryside in this Caribbean country, the poorest in the Americas.

Over the course of a year, the equivalent of around $74,000 and some 10,000 books have beencollected.

Construction began a month ago. The library complex will include a conference room, a cafeteriaand a computer lab, and the completion date is unclear.

The total budget for the project will be about 8500,000 so fundraising is ongoing — and easier asresidents see the project unfold.

Everybody who donates gets their picture taken. Help is also coming in from foreigners.

The philanthropic spirit has even hit a police station across the street from the job site, it isdonating water for two months to help prepare cement.

An officer assigned to Cite Soleil has become one of its biggest champions.

“AS I am directly involved in security issues, I understand the need to reach out to young people,”said Ricardo Antonio Joseph, who belongs to a unit specializing in crovd control.

Joseph finagled a donation of 550 books from a publishing house where he has contacts.

More than 4,000 donors altogether have chipped in toward building the library.

“If we want calm to remain here, everyone needs to participate. It’s not just the job of electedofficials or residents of Cite Soleil, but it’s everyone’s responsibility,” said Joseph.

Donations Big And Small

Louino Robillard, one of the leaders of the project, said he has been moved by donations from thepoorest of Haitians.

t’What has really pleased me and motivated me are people who do not know how to read but whostill give money and say, ‘Here are my 50 gourdes. It is for my child. I want him to get a goodeducation,” said Robillard. That’s less than a dollar.

He said 8o percent of the donors are people from Cite Soleil students, merchants, professiona’s.

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https:flnewsela.com.

“This means we have a population that is willing to change its way of thinking,” he added.

The team spirit of the slum has inspired hope in the foreman of the construction site, Lexy Feton.

“I have seen a lot of things in Cite Soleil but this is the first time there has been such a project.Everybody in the neighborhood helps as much as they can,” the 45-year-old man in a hardhat said.

ReadWorks Never Too Late

Never Too Lateby Samantha Gross

If you’re reading this, then probably you’re a student working on improving your proficiency as areader. But you may already have more skills than some people much older than you. Some adultswould have a hard time in your class because they never learned to read, or because they neverlearned to read well.

Art Ellison is the administrator of the New Hampshire State Bureau of Adult Education, which helpsfund many programs for grown-ups who need to improve their skills. He says most people in theseclasses never finished high school. Some of them weren’t successful students, while others droppedout of school so that they could go to work and support their families.

Not being able to read well as a grown-up can make life very difficult and cause complications at workand at home. There is also an emotional toll.

“They feel embarrassed,” Mr. Ellison says. “They think that as an adult they should be able to do it.”

Often, adults with difficulty reading try to hide their problem from others. For example, Mr. Ellisonexplains, it’s not uncommon for someone applying for a job to ask if he or she can take home anapplication. There, the applicant can ask a friend or even a daughter or son to help fill out the form.Others try to disguise their inability to read the options on a menu by pointing to a photograph of adish instead, or by saying, “I’ll have what that person’s having.”

Not being able to read at all is called illiteracy, and it can be dangerous. A person who can’t read theinstructions on a bottle of medication could end up in the hospital after taking too many pills, or aftertaking too few pills.ReadWorks.org 2013 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

ReadWorks Never Too Late

Many people arrive at adult education programs in the hopes of helping their children do better in

school than they did, Mr. Ellison says.

“Every parent wants to-or should want to-be able to help their kids with their homework,” he says.

Some parents can explain schoolwork to their children, but parents who are illiterate can’t easily help

or even check if their children’s homework is done.

Children can start to learn reading skills by looking at the words while a parent reads them a book.

But parents who don’t know how to read might make up a story to go with the pictures in a book,

instead of actually reading the text. That can make it harder for their children to learn to read.

Changes in the United States economy have made learning to read more urgent for some people, Mr.

Ellison says. Many people, who worked for decades in manufacturing, never needed reading skills at

work. For example, someone who worked attaching doors onto cars may not have needed to be

literate to do the job.

But at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, many American

manufacturing jobs disappeared. It became cheaper for companies to manufacture things in other

countries overseas. Some people who had worked for decades on an assembly line found

themselves out of work. Often, the ones who couldn’t read well had a hard time finding a new job, Mr.

Ellison reports.

“The world changed around them,” he says. For them, reading skills are “important because of the

difficulty of getting and then keeping a job.”

Men and women who want to enter job training programs to become welders and X-ray technicians

are often given training manuals written at the tenth-grade level, Mr. Ellison says. People with

difficulty reading often have a hard time in these programs. They can also have difficulties learning to

use computers because they can’t always understand the instructions that appear on a screen.

Some people graduated from high school but don’t have good reading skills. That’spartly because

some schools have a policy of passing students onto the next grade, even if they haven’t mastered all

the material covered. That policy is called social promotion.

Grown-ups who need help learning to read and other basic skills can seek out classes at adult

education programs funded by the federal and state governments. A person who never graduated

from high school can use one of these programs to get a High School Equivalency Certificate. With

that kind of certificate, a person can apply to college.

8. Learning to read well is a critical skill for the 21st century. What evidence from the

text supports this conclusion?

You need to be able to read in order to have a job, and to handle everyday

life. You need to be able to read applications, medicine information and

menus. You need to help your children learn to read, and to check their

homework. You need it to keep your job, to use computers, and to go to

college.

9. Describe some of the possible consequences that one might experience if one leaves

school without learning to read well.

Answers may vary and should be supported by the text. Students can

describe the embarrassment associated with illiteracy. Other consequences

include the inability to apply for or keep a job, the inability to go to college,

and inability to help one’s kids with their homework.

10. Explain what impact an adult’s illiteracy may have on the lives of their loved ones.

Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers may vary and should be supported by the text. Students can

explain that parents who are unable to read are unable to help with or

check their children’s homework. Furthermore, parents who can’t read

make it harder for their children to learn to read since the children aren’t

hearing or following along to the actual text when the parents are making

up the story. Both of these consequences can have negative academic and

lifelong impacts on the lives of children.

Students may also explain that people who are illiterate experience

difficulty finding and keeping jobs, which can put the financial

security and well-being of their families at risk if they are in charge of

supporting their families.

Other answers are also valid if they are supported by the text.
