A brief description of the American public school system.

1 answer:

7 0

Well, to put it simply, the American public school system sucks. We are 17th in the rank of educational performance, in a system solely focused on standardized testing. Anyway, here's a brief description:

There are public, private, and home schools in America; 87% of us attend public schools. Prior to colleges and university, students attend both primary and secondary school for a total of 12 years.
Preschool: Kids can start as early as 3 years old and are usually finished with preschool by the time they turn 5 years old.
Elementary School: (Kindergarten until 5th grade) This is basically primary school. Kids are usually 5 years old when they first enroll and are done with primary education by the time they are 11 years old.
Middle School: (6th grade until 8th grade) This is basically secondary school, with students at age 11 completing their time here when they are 14 years old.
High School: (9th grade until 12th grade) Lots of state standardized testing as well as the national SAT / ACT. SAT is typically more popular with students but they can take either or both. Once a teen's done with high school, they graduate and move on to higher education.

Our grading system runs on a GPA scale and letter-grade system (A-F) with A being exceptional and F being terrible. These scales measure our academic achievement. We've also got the typical academic transcript, which is extremely vital for universities and college admissions.

As for a typical public school day, this usually depends on the school itself. Some schools start at 7-7:30 AM while others begin at 9 AM. Some end at 2 PM, 3:30 PM, or as late as 4 PM. Mine starts at 8 AM and ends at 3:30 PM.

We get the usual breaks too, like spring & summer & winter break. Overall, our public school education system is failing and stressing students out. It's extremely flawed, but it's what we've got.

Note: Sorry if this went far beyond "brief," but this is basically how our public school system works. This can also apply for private schools, too.

Contingency adduction is the emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non-reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations follow

sukhopar [10]

Answer: False

Explanation: The statement in the question describes Stimulus Equivalence.

Contingency Adduction occurs when an individual acquires a new behaviour through conditioning and another contingency adds it to its own range of behaviors.

Stimulus equivalence on the other hand is when more than one different stimuli get the same response. Similar to the response in a situation where conditioning did not take place, although the response is accurate, it has not been reinforced.
