JMEDIA LOG Abolition of student maintenance grant 'will hurt those most in need'
Education experts have expressed fears that the abolition of the student maintenance grant for the poorest young people, combined with increasing tuition fees, will set back widening participation and deter those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds from going to university. As of Monday, students from low-income homes applying to go to university will no longer be entitled to a maintenance grant to support their living costs, but will instead have to borrow the money in the form of an additional loan, further increasing their debt. RIP maintenance grants. It’s one more move to keep the poor from education. Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett The scrapping of the grant comes as the government puts pressure on universities to widen participation rates to attract those from the poorest backgrounds – in particular white working-class boys who are the least likely group to go to university. Higher education experts are concerned that the switch to a loan, just as universities are announcing plans to raise tuition fees beyond £9,000 a year, will damage progress in widening participation and lumber those who choose to go to university with even greater debt. Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University College Union (UCU), said: “Cost does matter and there is a very real danger that raising tuition fees combined with the ending of maintenance grants will damage progress made by widening participation initiatives.” She said recent UCU research showed that when young people choose to go to university, those from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to put cost at the forefront of their decision-making, often opting for institutions close to home that offer cheaper study that can be combined with part-time work. Hunt continued: “The continued squeeze on students risks creating a polarised university system of haves and have-nots where costs determines young people’s choices.” After the tuition fee increase in 2012, when fees rose to up to £9,000, critics feared that poorer students would choose not to go to university to avoid long-term debt, but contrary to those concerns record numbers of disadvantaged young people have been choosing to go to university. The Guardian. Monday 1 August 2016 17.43 BST UNIT VIII Bella “Bel” Kaufman was born in Berlin, Germany. Although born in Germany, her native language was Russian. She was raised in Odessa. She emigrated to the United States in 1923 at the age of 12 with her parents, moving to New York City. In 1965 she published the novel “Up the Down Staircase”, which became an enormous success, remaining on the “New York Times” Best Seller list for 64 weeks. In 1967, the book was turned into a film of the same name. Other novels by Kaufman are: “Love, etc.” 1979, “This and That: Random Thoughts and Recollections”, 2012, “La Tigresse and Other Short Stories”, 2013. Up the Down Staircase The plot of the novel. Fresh out of graduate school, Sylvia Barrett begins her teaching career as an English Literature teacher at Calvin Coolidge High School. The school is overly bureaucratic and disorganized, with forms needing to be completed for every small task, keys allocated to teachers even for things that do not exist, lack of supplies or people to fix broken items, overcrowded classrooms, and staircases labeled as up and down. This bureaucracy is designed to deal with the chaos that exists both within the staff and student body. Despite these problems, Miss Barrett comes into the school with an idealistic view of being able to assist students in learning, regardless of obvious or hidden obstacles. Some of the students who may be facing some of these obstacles are moody but bright Joe Ferone who is always on the verge of expulsion, romantic but socially awkward Alice Blake, and Roy Hackett, whose surrogate mother pleads on his behalf for Miss Barrett to pass Roy despite him continually falling asleep in class. Miss Barrett's fellow English teacher, Paul Barringer, who is the center of attention of many a female student and who has aspirations of getting out of teaching to become a novelist, tries to advise Miss Barrett not to take her job so seriously. Through it all, will the school get the better of Miss Barrett or will she get the better of the school and the students?As for the title words “up” and “down” are antonyms. It can be interpreted in three ways. The first one is that the pupils try to go up but fail due to teachers. The second interpretation is that according to Sylvia’s ranking system some teachers are best or “up” and others are not or “down”. And the last one is that the final goal means “up” and everyday routine means “down”. Chapter One Hi, Teach
Hi, teach! Looka her! She's a teacher? Who she? Is this 304? Are you Mr. Barringer? No. I'm Miss Barrett. I'm supposed to have Mr. Barringer. I'm Miss Barrett. You the teacher? You so young. Hey she's cute! Hey, teach, can I be in your class? Please don't block the doorway. Please come in. Good afternoon, Miss Barnet. Miss Barrett. My name is on the blackboard. Good morning. O, no! A dame for homeroom? You want I should slug him, teach? Is this homeroom period? Yes. Sit down, please. I don't belong here. We gonna have you all term? Are you a regular or a sub? There's not enough chairs! Take any seat at all. Hey, where do we sit? Is this 309? Someone swiped the pass. Can I have a pass? What's your name? My name is on the board. I can't read your writing. I gotta go to the nurse. I'm dying. Don't believe him, teach. He ain't dying! Can I sharpen my pencil in the office? Why don't you leave the teacher alone, you bums? Can we sit on the radiator? That's what we did last term. Hi, teach! You the homeroom? Pipe down, your morons! Don't you see the teacher's trying to say something? Please sit down. I'd like to— Hey, the bell just rung! How come Mrs. Singer's not here? She was in this room last term. When do we go home? The first day of school, he wants to go home already! That bell is your signal to come to order. Will you please— Can I have a pass to a drink of water? You want me to alphabetize for you? What room is this? This is room 304. My name is on the board: Miss Barrett. I'll have you for homeroom all term, and I hope to meet some of you in my English classes. Now, someone once said that first impressions— English! No wonder! Who needs it? You give homework? First impressions, they say, are lasting. What do we base our first—Yes? Do you belong in this class? No. Mr. McHabe wants Ferone right away. Who? McHabe. Whom does he want? Joe Ferone. Is Joe Ferone here? Him? That's a laugh! He'll show up when he feels like it. Put down that window-pole, please. We all know that first impressions—Yes? Is this 304? Yes. You're late. I'm not late. I'm absent. You are? I was absent all last term. Well—sit down. I can't. I'm dropping out. You're supposed to sign my Book Clearance from last term. Do you owe any books? I'm not on the Blacklist! That's a yellow slip. This here is a green! Hey, isn't the pass back yet? Quit your shoving! He started it, teach! I'd like you to come to order, please. I'm afraid we won't have time for the discussion on first impressions I had planned. I'm passing out— Hey, she's passing out! Give her air! —Delaney cards. You are to fill them out at once while I take attendance from the Roll Book. Standees—line up in back of the room; you may lean on the wall to write. Print, in ink, your last name first, your parent's name, your date of birth, your address, my name—it's on the board—and the same upside down. I'll make out a seating plan in the Delaney Book. Any questions? In ink or pencil? I got no ink—can I use pencil? Who's got a pencil to loan me? I don't remember when I was born. Don't mind him—he's a comic. Print or write? When do we go to lunch? I can't write upside down! Ha-ha. He kills me laughing! What do you need my address for? My father can't come. Someone robbed my ball-point! I can't do it—I lost my glasses. Are these going to be our regular seats—the radiator? I don't know my address—we're moving. Where are you moving? I don't know where. Where do you live? I don't live no place. Any place. You, young man, why are you late? I'm not even here. I'm in Mr. Loomis. My uncle's in this class. He forgot his lunch. Hi, Tony—catch! Please don't throw—Yes, what is it? This Mrs. Singer's room? Yes. No. Not anymore. Anyone find a sneaker from last term? Hey, teach, can we use a pencil? You want these filled out now? There's chewing gum on my seat! First name last or last name first? I gotta have a pass to the Men's Room. I know my rights; this is a democracy, ain't it? Isn't. What's the trouble now? There's glass all over my desk from the window. Please don't do that. Don't touch that broken window. It should be reported to the custodian. Does anyone— I'll go! Me! Let me go! That's Mr. Grayson—I know where he is in the basement! All right. Tell him it's urgent. And who are you? I'm sorry I'm late. I was in Detention. The what? The Late Room. Where they make you sit to make up your lateness when you come late. All right, sit down. I mean, stand up—over there, against the wall. For parent's name, can I use my aunt? Put down your mother's name. I got no mother. Well—do the best you can. Yes, young lady? The office sent me.

UK schools are allowed to discipline pupils who behave badly in various ways. But what exactly is bad behaviour? The following is a list of serious and not-so-serious types of bad behaviour seen by a teacher in a London secondary school. • Playing truant (not coming to school without permission from parents) • Smoking, swearing, hitting, kissing, running, stealing • Not doing homework • Cheating in exams (copying from secret notes or another pupil) • Calling a teacher or another pupil bad names (bullying) • Not listening or not paying attention in lessons • Wearing unsuitable clothes for school Punishments in UK schools Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished. • Exclusion: a pupil is excluded from the school and cannot come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education (home tutor, special centre for difficult pupils). • Suspension: when a pupil is suspended they cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their case. Suspension can last from 1 to 45 days in a school term. The school usually gives work to do at home with a tutor (special teacher). • Detention: a pupil is detained. This means he or she is asked to stay at school at the end of the school day. The pupil must work for 30 minutes or an hour more before they are allowed to leave the school. • Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (100 times) on a sheet of paper: An example sentence: I must not shout in class. This punishment is sometimes given during detention too. Case Study Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news in the UK when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Freya's family say that she was given detention many times for trivial things such as drinking fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door. After her secondary school gave her detention for the eleventh time, she went to a lawyer and took legal action against the school. The teenager said that it is not legal to keep a pupil in the school building if the student does not want to be there because Scottish law says that it is illegal to detain children against their will. Many schools in the UK now give parents a home/school contract. This is a contract explaining the school discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document and agree that they accept the school's rules. They are responsible for their child's behaviour and must respect the discipline methods used in the school.
