Read Comments (25) Teacher, teach thyself economics, December 29, 2004 by Arnold Kling Columbia University Teachers College Professor Amy Stuart Wells writes policymakers should amend state laws to better support the high-achieving charter schools and close the rest. And I hope they will also remember the hard lesson learned from this reform: that free markets in education, like free markets generally, do not serve poor children well. The economic argument for private schools, including charter schools, is that consumers will be able to close down those that fail. The test of the charter school system is not whether it produces bad schools, but whether the bad ones get winnowed out by the market. It will be a great day when someone from a teacher's college writes an op-ed saying that government should support the high-achieving public schools and close down the rest, and when it is recognized that government schools generally do not serve poor children well. For Discussion . Do bad charter schools tend to be shut down more frequently than bad public schools?

Read Comments (9) Should Pacey Teach Economics?, September 01, 2004 by Arnold Kling I have started teaching a class at George Mason called Economics and the Citizen It's been over 20 years since I taught at a college level, and I feel like Rip Van Winkle. After the first class, I was given quick tutorial on the technology in the room. I was struck by the sound coming from the computer through the speakers. I decided to type my lecture notes (the stuff I might scribble on the board) onto a web page, and then record what I would say using an Olympus DS-330 digital recorder, which I bought a while back because Zack Lynch said it was cool. I put the audio onto the web page. At that point it occurred to me that if I put the web page up and played the audio, then anybody could stand up in class, move their lips, and pretend to give the lecture. I put up a graphic of Pacey from Dawson's Creek on the page, so now it sort of looks like he's giving the lecture. In addition to being better-looking than I am, Pacey has neater handwritinghe doesn't scrawl all over the board. Also, Pacey will come into the student's room and give the lecture on the student's computer. If the student spaces out for a minute, he or she can rewind Pacey, and Pacey will repeat himself.

Main October 20, 2004 I Hope These People Don't Teach Economics My friend Ron Souers, a resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, attended a County Council meeting that addressed the question of whether or not Wal-Mart and other big-box retailers will be allowed to build more stores in that upscale County. Ron reports the following to me about the meeting: I heard the usual arguments; large retail stores will bankrupt established businesses, cause traffic jams, burden the sewage system etc... But I had to scratch my head when I heard the following arguments: From the Montgomery County Education Association : Children will do poorly in school because large retail outlets will pay low wages causing the children to be under nourished such that they will be unable to concentrate. The money saved by lower prices at these large retail centers, will be less than the tax dollars spent on social programs to supplement these lower wages. The Montgomery County Education Association’s assertion, in other words, is that the arrival into the local labor market of a new and highly successful employer, as well as of greater competition among retailers for consumers’ dollars, will reduce living standards.

We have a young faculty who make lectures relevant and timely. In all our programs, the emphasis is on developing strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, along with a solid background with respect to technical, institutional and historical details relevant to issues and problems in a variety of areas. To help good teaching happen, all of our courses are evaluated by students – you can see the evaluations using the link below. And as a department, we encourage good teaching by providing extra financial rewards to teachers who excel.

Just as environmental science is no longer taught as science, high school economics turns to mush when taught by a social studies teacher who neither understands nor likes the subject. "Nobody is comfortable teaching straight economics," says Tim Taylor, a Macalester economics professor. "You get Inequality and Poverty - how capitalism is bad or Globalization how trade is bad." Or Environmental Factoids Taken Out of Context, which could have been the title of my daughter's not-much-economics class. In many states, high school students are required to take a semester of econ or a class labeled "Economics," to be precise. These classes are taught by social studies teachers who've taken, on average, two college econ courses. And forgotten most of what they learned.

First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing. Jump$tart Coalition Partners Help Those Affected by Hurricane Katrina! The National Coalition of Girls' Schools (NCGS) is serving as a clearinghouse to help funnel aid to two sister schools in New Orleans-Academy of the Sacred Heart and The Louise S. McGehee School. Forty-five NCGS schools-nearly half the membership-have offered to take in displaced students as boarders or with families in the school community. In many cases, the schools are offering and providing tuition assistance. NCGS schools have stepped forward to help other schools throughout the hurricane zone as well, and the NCGS Web site features links to donate to general Katrina relief efforts.

Undergraduate study Teaching methods The Department employs a variety of teaching methods in different courses. Lectures and small group tutorials form the backbone of the teaching. Personal contact with members of the academic staff is considered to be essential if each student's personal enthusiasm for their studies is to be stimulated. A range of activities is pursued within the tutorial groups depending upon the course. Some courses emphasise problem solving as a means of reinforcing and cementing the important ideas - for example the course in Microeconomic Theory. Occasionally we use game playing to encourage discussion and understanding - for example when competing groups of students try to control a computer model of the economy in Principles of Macroeconomics. Other courses place greater emphasis on writing short and accurate technical pieces (Welfare Economics) or longer more discursive papers (Business and Society).

about FTE teachers students funders Tsunami - The Economics of Natural Disasters Hot Topics Home Hot Topics Archive Page Summary What can economics teach us about how best to address the needs of survivors of this, and future, natural disasters? Fortunately, a great deal. Economics is, after all, the study of how we deal with scarcity - scarcity made starkly real by events like the Indian Ocean tsunami. The concepts and principles we learn in relative comfort are no less true in times of distress. Economics teaches us that the quality of people's lives depends, ultimately, on the production and distribution of goods and services. And like it or not, the laws of supply and demand that govern this process are as binding in times of crisis as they are in times of plenty. download MS Word format (.doc) Note to Teachers: Format In the interest of providing an immediate resource for teachers to use as school resumes after the winter holiday, this Hot Topic is a truncated version of the usual format. It includes discussion questions, or "talking points," and a teacher guide, but relies on student knowledge of the tsunami from media coverage. There is no student reading handout. Caution For some students, the objectivity of economic analysis may appear callous in the face of the human loss and suffering they've seen on TV and the Internet. While economic language and reasoning are invaluable tools in helping students think clearly about responding to the tragedy, it would be a mistake to ignore the human elements. Remind students that the aseptic approach of economic analysis is not intended to diminish the reality of human suffering, but to give us a mental model of how best to alleviate it.

Capitalism (or, rather, liberalism) is not only a theoretical construct. It is not only a body of knowledge. It is a philosophy, an ideology, a way of life, a mentality and a personality. By Sam Vaknin, 10/31/2002 Lest you hold your breath to the end of this article - the answers to both questions in the title are no and no. Capitalism cannot be "learned" or "imported" or "emulated" or "simulated". Capitalism (or, rather, liberalism) is not only a theoretical construct. It is not only a body of knowledge. It is a philosophy, an ideology, a way of life, a mentality and a personality. This is why professors of economics who studied under Socialism can never teach Capitalism in the truest sense of the word. No matter how intelligent and knowledgeable (and a minority of them are) - they can never convey the experience, the practice, the instincts and reflexes, the emotional hues and intellectual pugilistics that real, full scale, full blooded Capitalism entails. They are intellectually and emotionally castrated by their socialist past of close complicity with inefficiency, corruption and pathological economic thinking.
