Horace Mann American Schools
735 wordsIn the early 1800 s education in America grew and developed rapidly, largely because of the works of three very important men: Noah Webster, William McGuffey, and Horace Mann.

Book Banning Is Bad For Students
1,543 wordsShould people be able to deny a students freedom to read any book they wish to in a school? Every time adults ban a book, kids lose the chance to gain knowledge from that work of literature.

Book censors can only give unreasonable and unjustifiable motives for banning books to validate their cause. In the end, the actions of the people who ban books create many negative effects on students. The...

School System Test Testing
549 wordsAs you may or may not know, I recently upheld my right as a student, to refrain from participating in the FSA testing.

In fairness, I ask that you assess the situation reasonably before coming to any unfavorable conclu...

Constitutional Amendment Prayer Amendment
1,067 words... to support a new amendment. The issues of prayer in the school system used to be on the back burner but now it has been moved upstage, front and center. The discussion of a school prayer amendment is not so much about prayer itself but more about what kind of prayer should be allowed and who should be in charge of it. The American people in communities and local school boards across the country should make these decisions. Do U. S. citizens not live in a democracy? An amendment is not needed...

Violence The Need For Better Security In Schools
1,637 wordsSecurity in schools is it enough? Perhaps the security in some schools can be better. Look at all the violence that we have had in the schools of the United States.

The student should have a very trustful relationship with the teacher so that he / she can come to the teacher and talk or explain anything to the teacher...

Savage Inequalities Property Tax
1,214 words. Kozol feels that the way in which we fund public schools is arcane and unfair (54). Since most areas in the US rely on property tax in order to fund education, the poorer districts are at a disadvantage over the wealthy districts because of lack of income. This is a problem because the wealthy schools keep getting wealthier and the poor schools keep getting poorer. For example Kozol points to the inner city schools of Chicago in comparison with a suburban high school (New Trier). He states tha...
