exchange student who lives at the moment at an
American private school in Connecticut. It is a
new and exciting experience for me, and I have
noticed that the school in Germany and the USA is
very different. The institutions itself are

interesting. The German public schools are
institutions where the students only go until

Lottery Funds Used In Public Schools
460 words
It has come to my attention that a group of
citizens are opposing the use of lottery funds in
the public schools of our state. With all due
respect, I must ask if these citizens are aware of
the fact that our schools rank second lowest in
the nation? Though the lottery proves profitable

older are considered adults in this nation and
should therefore be aware of the chances of
winning, made plain...

Following the decision of the Supreme Court

valid reason to suggest that the standard
prosecution procedures might not be applicable to
them. There are numero...
