Our group selected education as our theme for the New York Times Project. We decided to pick that theme because its obviously a very important subject. We are all here at Baruch for that reason, and its our role as students, to get an education. Its something that people often take for granted. We forget that not everyone is fortunate enough to get such a valuable resource. Each of our articles were related to education in some way. The article “Students Accused of Cheating…” discusses the issue of academic integrity and makes readers think about the flaws in the education system. The article “The Charter School Fight” discusses the role of education in politics, and how it is an important debate issue. The article “Top Test Scores From Shanghai Stun Educators” takes a look at education in a global view and how education varies from country to country. The article “Losing Is Good for You” discusses how it might be good to accept a loss sometimes which can also transfer over to education. The article “Overscheduled Children…” talks about the importance of balancing your life of education and your social life. The article “An Education in Equality” looks at the importance of equality in education and how very often it is doesn’t happen. My role in the group for the project was administrator. I assigned everyone’s readings and compiled everyone’s work on to the front page. From this project I learned how with every story there are multiple sides. You have to look at each point of view carefully before making any decisions or judgments, the real truth maybe hidden.
