Low Income Families Uniform Policies
1,530 words
Cliques are an obvious part of every school across
the nation. Whether the words, jock, preppie,
skater, or goodie-goodie, are brought to mind,
almost everyone thinks of their high school and
how distinguished the groups were back then. Most
schools probably did not have many noticeable
effects from the different cliques there, but some
schools show it more than others do. Cliques are a
major problem for some junior and high schools
across the nation, because of all the fighting and
discriminati...

in non-instructional staff have been growing for
the past thirty years, expenditures which could
represent growing bureaucracy costs. While Card

Due To The Fact Wear Uniforms
1,546 words
Throughout the history of dress codes in school,
many districts have toyed with the issue or
whether school uniforms would create a more
unified educational environment or perhaps only
cause chaos and complaint. As a graduating senior,
I do not believe school uniforms will have any
effect on the unity or safety of our school, they
would only cause problems. I feel that there are
several alternatives to achieving the so-called
benefits of wearing school uniforms without
wearing them at all. It is...

Factory Workers American Students

What is wrong with American schools? Thats the
million Dollar Question, or should I say the
Multi-Billion Dollar Question. In the past,
Americas solution to our abysmal public school
situation has been to throw money at the problem.
But that obviously isnt working. American students
are consistently scoring less on standardized
tests than other nations children. Personally, I
believe the problems are more complex than a
simple budget problem. The truth is, American
culture is to blame. For some ...

Congress Shall Make Respecting An Establishment

When schools first opened hundreds of years ago
prayer was always enforced, and the Bible was the
only book most schools had to read. Our first
constitutional right states that we have the right
to freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and
as our right the government can not tell us when
it is appropriate to pray. The government is only
taking away yet another right making us weaker and
themselves stronger. The bible being the first
book in education, the first amendment, moment of

For many years there has been an increase in the
cases of violence in schools. Violence, in itself,
has been a problem plaguing schools and just
recently has it taken deadly actions. But what
causes these outbreaks of aggression and hatred to
occur? Is it the community where the school is or
peers that children come in contact with? Some

shortcomings, the media and drugs. But can it

George W Bush Bush And Gore

Since 1856, two political parties have been
dominant, the Democratic Party and the Republican
Party. As they have butted heads, no other party
has been elected to the office of president. In
fact, the only time a third party received more
votes than the Republican or Democratic parties
was in the election of 1912. Why has there only
been two parties that have dominated our
government for nearly a century and a half?
Because the two-party system works. The two-party

way of life. But today, that freedom is under
attack. Private groups and public authorities
everywhere are working to remove both books and
periodicals from sale, to exclude certain books
from public schools, to censor and silence
magazines and newspapers, and to limit
"controversial" books and periodicals to the

English Language Learners Bilingual Education

The controversial practice of bilingual education
has been under fire the last few years from
opposition such as English First, assimilation
activists, and a handful of angry Latino parents.
The main argument delivered by these groups is
that bilingual education has failed, and the
complaints are being ignored and overlooked by
school officials. These bilingual, bright children
are learning basic skills in their native language
before adding English. But for many opponents,
that transition just ...
