Belief In God Secular Humanism
2,253 words
The question has been raised: who is in control of
curriculum in our school? Not just the choosing of
the precise books, but who is in charge of the
contents of the books that curriculum directors
can choose from? Once the answers to these
questions are found, what should be done if they
point to one group? So many problems in the United
States have arisen when the people discover that
one group is violating the peoples rights in some
way by not allowing others power, that it would be
logical to...

Prayer In Public School

Spectrum of Opinions: Prayer in Public School
There are many different philosophies regarding
prayer in public school. It seems to be a
difficult issue to decide. The opinions are
wide-ranging and convoluted. I am going to
highlight the many ideas and opinions as to
whether prayers in public school should be allowed
and to what extent. The first opinion I am going
to look at is that there should be absolutely no
prayer of any kind in public schools. Bob Croddy
has been teaching for almost 30 yea...

Establishment Clause Creation Science
884 words
Edwards v Aguillard was a 1987 Supreme Court case
centering around the constitutionality of a
Louisiana statue requiring that creation science
be taught along side of evolution in the public
schools. Evolution remains so controversial
primarily because it is part of a larger debate
over nature and the meaning of life. The study of
how life began almost inevitably raises questions
of why: Why did life begin? Why are humans
rational? Why is there order in the universe? Men
and women have debated t...

Public Schools School Administrators
1,416 words
Teachers are supposed to be dedicated individuals,
devoted to giving more than they receive. Teaching
is an unsung profession. Public servants are
expected to go the extra yard, tutor students
after school to prep them to pass standardized
tests, and voluntarily agree to do other
activities like chaperone a school dance, organize
a school assembly, give an in-school workshop or
plan and moderate a spelling bee for gratis.
Twenty-eight times during my teaching career I

Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,

The Scopes Trial: The Case for Teaching Evolution
The Scopes trial set the stage for widespread
acceptance of teaching Evolution in America's
classrooms. During the early 1900 s an
anti-evolution movement swept through the United
States. Helping ease the commotion was the fact
that very few Americans attended high school
during the nineteenth century. Almost none
attended schools in the southern states. The
anti-evolution crusade lacked a specific political
or legal objective until Kentucky's Ba...

example, in Virginia, the Court declared that
faculties needed to be desegregated along with the

even-extracurricular activities. In spite of the
Brown decisions some adults did not want African

The freedom to Censorship Censorship! ? ! The
freedom to read is essential to the democratic 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 general public. The suppression
of reading materials is suppression of creative

Theory Of Evolution Teach Children

Creationism Has No Place In Public Schools In
society there are many diverse issues that raise
intense controversy. An ongoing conflict has been
on what to tech the children in public schools
about human creation. Many religious leaders and
churchgoers would like to have the biblical theory
of creation taught to the children in place of the
scientific theory of evolution. This idea violates
the first amendment, would be almost impossible to
implement, and will inhibit any further expansion
of ch...

School Bells Essay I found Lewis Lapham's article
School Bells in the August, 2000 edition of
Harpers magazine to be not only convincing, but
also easy to relate to and truthful. The contents
of the article have far-reaching and
thought-provoking implications. Much of his
argument rests on the nearly indisputable belief
that if we, as a nation, devoutly wished to reform
or even revolutionize the educational system in
place, we undoubtedly could. Factual proof of this
is found throughout the hist...

Education School Vouchers There has been a lot of
debate recently over the use of school vouchers.
Voucher programs offer students attending both
public and private schools tuition vouchers. It
gives taxpayers the freedom to pick where their
tax dollars go. In theory, good schools will
thrive with money and bad schools will lose
students and close its doors. Most people feel
that taking taxpayer money from public schools and
using this money as vouchers for private schools
is a violation of the ...

Lowest Common Denominator Public School System

The purpose of our modern education: The delicate
tools necessary for our intellectual workshop are
achieved by schooling. I suspect that our best
tools are realized rather automatically, but if
there is to be outside influence, then, best it is
done early, as the human mind matures all too
rapidly. Children are not consumed with anxiety to
learn anything; least of all has it ever crossed
their minds that they must learn English. How
shall we teach it to them, when the few of us who

Quality Of Education Lower Class

All over America there seems to be painfully
obvious differences in the school systems which
cater to the upper class majority and the ones
that serve the lower and middle class minority.
There is a strong undercurrent of racial
inequality in todays school systems, which
negatively effect the quality of education that
its students receive. A schools potential to give
a proper education often depends on the
perspective economic, and social, or should I say
racial backgrounds of its students. Amer...
