that is presently on many administrators' minds
about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark

arise. A reader may come away with the impression
that the novel is simply a negative view of the
African-American race. If we believe that Huck
Finn is used only as a unit of racism we sell the
book short. I feel t...

Butler Act Christian Beliefs Scopes

In 1925, schools had a very standard and general
curriculum. Much of this curriculum was based on
Christian beliefs and morals. No one dreamed of
challenging these values. Especially in the school
classroom, where budding minds strived for new
knowledge, and any new ideas could possibly spark
secular beliefs totally contradictory to what was
taught in Christian households. When John Thomas
Scopes, a science teacher in a rural Tennessee
school, began to teach evolution in his classroom,

Teenagers have sex on the brain; it's an
inevitable fact. However, what teenagers generally
have a problem grasping is that along with sex
comes a certain amount of responsibility. With the
amount of information there is, there is no excuse
for the lack of knowledge teens possess when it
comes to risky behavior. This is mainly in part
because by the time a child reaches the age of 15
they are tired of listening to an adult tell them
about what they are feeling and how they should be
acting. By s...

Montessori Believed Adult Caregiver Children

In the 1980 s and 1990 s, however, a shift has
begun away from punitive discipline toward a more
relational style based on attachment, mutual trust
and respect, and equality. This has occurred for a
number of socio-cultural reasons. First of all,
the increasing frequency of self-destructive and
socially destructive behaviors on the part of
