Educating Our Parents: Understanding the East Alton District Curriculum

Critical thinking, critical reading, and analytical writing skills are taught in all subject areas so that students will become strong communicators. Students read a variety of different kinds of texts in different formats, from novels to nonfiction in print and digital formats and develop their ability to evaluate and analyze these texts. They read for understanding and also to examine authorial intent, structure and craft, and to develop their own opinions, which they support through research and evidence.

The school provides a comprehensive, competitive curriculum for its students intended to give them the knowledge and skills they need to succeed after graduation, whether they immediately enter the workforce or instead pursue postsecondary education or enter the armed forces. Students are given clear expectations for what they should learn in each class and are also given clear expectations for their behavior.

Chalk Talk: Public vs. Private College

The basic difference between a pubic and a private college is how they’re funded. Private colleges are tuition-driven, which means the bulk of their operating budget comes from tuition. Because of this, most private colleges tend to have high tuitions, some of them extremely high. But they also tend to treat students more like customers, which means that they try to make the college experience more enjoyable and well-rounded. Some examples of this would be the housing that’s offered, the dining hall experience, and the academic support that’s offered to students, which tends to be more hands-on than at public universities. Also, private schools tend to be organized into colleges, whereas public tend to be universities, though there are exceptions to this.
