A Note from the Teacher’s Desk: Catherine Bragaw, Education Program Manager
I wanted to share with you our vision and mission. I am hoping that this will give a better understanding of who we are, what we are about, and our goal to assure Harpers Ferry is one of America’s Greatest Classrooms.
We believe all children deserve great parks and excellent educational experiences in our parks. We believe that in the meanings of these places, and through the voices of the past, the American story becomes real. It is in these stories that human spirit finds inspiration and insight.
We believe that in our parks young people can listen to the sound of America and in doing so can find their own voice. We believe in our parks, our young people can understand the struggle to build America and in doing so, find who they want to become. In this place and with us we hope that our young people can find the soul of America and in that discovery begins the shaping and the becoming of a new generation.
To ensure this our staff is dedicated to:
Emphasis on learning rather than process
Enhanced pedagogical understanding
Improved teaching techniques
Greater content knowledge
Empowered team work
Increased staff fulfillment
Positive, energized growth
Excellence in delivering place-based education

INDIAN SCHOOLS ALL SET TO IMPLEMENT RFID AND GPS BASED TRACKING SYSTEM
Indian schools are all set to implement a high-tech solution that will enable the school and parents to monitor students' entry into and exit from school buses.
Called RFID and GPS based tracking system; the state-of-the-art monitoring system will already been adopted by many renowned schools and the process of adoption is still going on.
"We have been working on this system for quite sometime so children can be monitored to ensure their security and safety," said the manager, Agnicient Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
A Noida (India) -based IT solutions provider, Agnicient Technologies Pvt. Ltd. will implement this automated Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and GPS-based student tracking system in the school's buses. Agnicient Technologies Pvt. Ltd. uses a combination of RFID, GPS (Global Positioning System) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technologies.
RFID is a type of automatic identification system whose purpose is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application.
All the buses of schools will be equipped with RFID readers and each student will be given an RFID card (pictured) which incorporates GPS and GPRS technologies, with all the student's particulars printed on it.
Using the technology, the parents will get a text message every time the student gets into the bus and alights while going to the school from home and when returning. Alert messages will also be sent to the school authorities.
"This technology will give peace of mind not only to the parents but also to us," said School principal, adding parents had been consulted with regard to the scheme and they had given positive feedback.
"Parents were favorable with the system because ultimately it means security and safety for the students," he said, adding he could see that other schools could adopt it in the future.
Agnicient Technologies Pvt. Ltd. manager said the application software displays not only a real-time view of the location of the bus but also the student inside the bus at any point in time.
"The system can be configured and could be converted into a smart card in the future to have other functions," Manager explained, adding RFID readers could be installed in other locations in the school as needed to further ensure the safety of students.
He also said the text messages would be very specific. For instance, if a child is still inside the bus five minutes after the vehicle's engine is turned off, a text message will be sent to the school authorities.
It means that this system from Agnicient Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Will answer the question more prominently that “Its already 10 PM do you know where your child is???????????
But now every parent and school administration knows.

Emotional Abuse In the Name of Academic Success in Indian Schools
Child abuse is a very serious matter in western schools and any teacher, parent and school involved in child abuse have to face the law. In spite of serious steps we still see some cases of child abuse here and there, but majority of children are safe from abuse. This is not the case when it comes to developing and under developed countries.
Many countries didn’t address child abuse because of their culture and lack of awareness about the issue. Some countries officially announced child abuse as illegal, but they are not serious in enforcing the law. India is one of those countries that made child abuse illegal, especially in schools but doesn’t enforce the law strictly. This is causing an enormous physical and emotional damage to the younger children.
In recent years there is no more canning of students in schools, especially in private schools. Parents are not at all tolerating their children being canned or spanked by teachers. This is a very good sign of change, but abuse is still predominant at homes. However, there is a different form of abuse that is happening in every private school in the name of academic requirements and student success. I call it as “emotional abuse” What is so sad is educated parents are also supporting the idea without even noticing that the excessive workload on students is causing an enormous ‘emotional damage’ to the younger minds.
Private schools are very attractive to parents because they offer quality education to students, and they provide special coaching to students to prepare them for professional courses like Engineering, Medicine, and IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), highly reputed engineering and technology institute. While it is a good concept to prepare students to do well in school exams and also in entrance tests, it is sad that children are excessively burdened with school work and preparation.
For example, none of the private schools allow their students leave the school before 6 hours. They are at school almost 9 hours, instead of recommended 5 ½ hours. In addition to this many students attend before and after school tuitions, and still have to finish their 2-3 hour homework after all these sessions, irrespective their grade levels.
When I look at school children in India my heart bleeds. Parents want the best education for their children, which is fair enough, but they are not noticing that with an excessive workload children are at abuse. This abuse of children must be stopped for the welfare of their physical and psychological well being. Since schools want to offer what parents demand, parents must take initiative in stopping this kind of abuse. On the other hand, teachers and educational experts must also make an effort to educate parents about this type of bad practice in schools. This I call a step toward a positive change, and perhaps an indicator of developing nation.

HISTORY FREE EDUCATION
Free education has long been identified with "sponsored education". This may now evoke images of advertising campaigns, but
in the past, especially during the Renaissance, it was common practice among rich dignitaries to sponsor the education of a
young man as his patron.[citation needed]
In the late 1700s, Thomas Paine was amongst the earliest proponents of universal, free public education, which was
considered to be a radical idea at the time.
In the United States, government compulsory education was introduced as free or universal education during the late 1800s,
and extended across the country by the 1920s.
Compulsory education is typically funded through taxes. Aggravated truancy can be prosecuted. Homeschooling or private or
parochial schooling is usually a legal alternative.
Free education on the Internet
Please help improve this article by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. (October2008)
Online education has become an option. One of the pioneering Universities to sponsor free education in management is the
School of Business and Economics at Umeå University. Free education has become available through several websites, some of
them resembling online universities. Online education faces barriers such as institutional adoption, license/Copyright
restrictions and incompatibility, and educator awareness of available resources[6].
Due to the extensive requirements of material for online education, many open community projects have been initiated.
Specifically, the Wikimedia Foundation has developed a project devoted to free online educational resources, Wikiversity,
and recently, several other sites for specific topics have developed. MyMCAT was designed as a free community project to
aid students wishing to take the MCAT. freeed.com was launched in March 2010 as a free online knowledge and learning
platform. Users and experts upload multimedia content to expand specific topics.
World University and School aggregates free, open teaching and learning content on the internet. World University and
School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University - is a global, digital, open, free-to-students, potentially
degree-granting Wiki university and school, potentially in all languages, nation-states, subjects and at all levels, using
a Wikipedia-with-MIT Open Course Ware model, for everyone, especially OLPC countries and the emerging world, which anyone
can edit, primarily by teaching, adding, or learning.

Free Education
Free education is a political term referring to education that is funded through taxation rather than tuition fees.
Although primary school and other comprehensive or compulsory education is free in many countries, in the Nordic countries
all education is mostly free (often not including books (from primary) and a number of administrative and sundry fees in
university), including post-graduate studies.[1] In Sweden and Finland, there is no fee for foreign students enrolling at a
university, although they may not be eligible for the monthly study allowance and loan most nationals are. Answers to some
of the frequently asked questions about studying in Sweden may be found online.[2][3]. Denmark also has universal free
education, and provides a monthly stipend, the "Statens Uddannelsesstøtte" or "SU", to students over 18 years of age.[4]
Several other European countries, such as England and Germany, have had a history of some form of free education, as has
Australia. In the 1970s the Australian Labor Party led by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam introduced reforms which ensured
free tertiary education. These reforms were removed later in the 1980s by the Bob Hawke Labor government. Students and
radicals opposed the introduction of tertiary fees in the 1980s, and played an important part in forcing the Whitlam
government to implement the free education system. Ireland and Argentina provide free education at all levels, including
college and university.
In Brazil, free education is offered through of the Ministry of Education of Brazil that offers scholarships for graduate
degrees, master's, doctoral and post-doctoral for the Brazilians and immigrants who have Brazilian citizenship. The best
universities and research centers are public institutions, either financed by the local state (state universities) or by
the federal government (federal universities). These public universities provide a great service to the country in
preparing professionals. Graduate students can get paid if they qualify for the incentive, but competition is extremely
fierce. There has been a proliferation in the last 10 years of private universities, which are interested in providing
professional training to their undergraduates. These private colleges are not interested in nurturing research centers,
since it is not part of their business model to get involved with research. Elsewhere, free education usually comes to
students in the form of scholarship and grants, if they cover all or most of students' expenses while at school. Providers
of grants and scholarships may be individuals, institutions (often the school itself), advocacy initiatives, etc. They may
have economic (e.g. tax-deductibility), humanitarian, charitable or religious motivations.
There are examples of steps towards free education being taken across the world primarily in those nations developing
rapidly, such as China.[5] In some developing countries like Sri Lanka education is free from the primary level up to the
tertiary level. The renowned centers of learning in Libya and Cuba may be attended free of charge.
