... making disciplinary decisions, and overseeing behavior and academic performance. Boarding schools can be one or all of the following: academic boot camp, a place for parents to put kids they don't want around or don't have the time for, a haven from deteriorating public schools, a necessary credential for children of the rich and famous, or a training ground for tomorrow's leaders. These schools range from small unknown institutions which will accept anyone, to the elite schools, which are very selective and are a pipeline to Ivy-league schools and success. Boarding schools are superior to public day schools. Proponents of boarding prep schools claim the sc ...
... in my country was pretty the same as US system. First of all, in my county all high students we had to wear uniform. We had to wear black skirts, white tops, black shoes and black tights. The good thing about uniform was that it wasn't expensive for parents to get uniform for their children each year, second, it was good for students to concentrate only on there classes and third it was very organized. For instance, in my family three person went to high school and parents bought us uniforms only once a year which was not very expensive, second every day when we waked up we didn't had to worry about what to wear and worrying that we don't have enough clothes. ...
... costs of setting up Internet service in a typical school. First comes the hardware. Hardware required is generally a standard Windows-based PC or Macintosh and a 14.4 Kbs or higher modem. This will cost about $1000 apiece. If the average school has 50 classrooms, already the cost has risen to $50,000 per school, for only one connection per classroom. Next you need actual Internet service. For 24-hour connections expect to pay $100 or more per month, per account. If a school plans to have more than a few individual Internet users, it will need to consider a network with a high-speed dedicated line connected to the Internet. This school network would probably b ...
... access the sub-hot line. When the password came and I was ready to go. The way the system works is simple: the computer calls you; at anywhere from 5:00p.m. to 5:30a.m.; you enter your password, listen to the job that is available; the computer will tell you the school and the name of the person you are substituting for, date and time of the assignment and any special instructions you might need. Most of these positions are only 3.5 to 5 hours . If you don’t want the assignment, you can choose to deny it and wait for the next call. If you accept it the computer will give you a job number. When you get to your assignment you will go directly to the office ...
... It was the students’ choice to follow the drunken boy outside and to start more with him. I personally think they should have just left him alone. He was drunk and probably did not even know what he was saying. Much less, he probably didn’t even remember in the morning. How many times have you had something said to you that upset you, offended you, or made you mad? Much less, how many times has a drunken person said something to you that made you mad? For example, my last name is Abdo, which is Arabic. I know that there are some Middle Easterners who are crazy and like to blow up American buildings. Right after the Oklahoma bombing, everyone suspe ...
... because of television. As people grow older, television, at least for recent generations, plays a large role in socialization. On many sitcoms and talk shows one can learn of problems of today like teenage pregnancy, poverty, drugs, etc.. Television also seems to support somewhat decent morals, a very religious person may not think so but television still follows the good guy-hero, bad guy-loser theme. From certain shows on TV one can learn what sort of things are socially acceptable for instance fashion, behavior and hobbies. Television features many "how-to" shows like gardening, painting, cooking, etc.. It also has many documentaries on foreign lan ...
... line. High school graduation is my finish line and college is my next goal. This is the biggest race of my life as I realize that wanting to grow up so fast to become an adult isn’t what it seems like when your just a little kid. Where do you want to go and how do I plan on achieving to become successful are just a few of the many questions that run through my mind as I plan for . All of these are small hurdles; compared to the biggest question of all, what career path do you want to take? My answer, I don’t know. This makes my most important race of all. The next for years in college will help me discover and determine how I plan the rest of my life. I d ...
... arguments against multicultural education (Banks, 1995). For example, some critics believe that multicultural education is directed toward only minority groups, thus discriminating against middle class, white, heterosexual males. Others believe that multiculturalism is against Western and democratic ideals. A final argument is the claim that multiculturalism will divide our presumably united nation. Although critics of multicultural education may feel they have valid arguments against the issue, I feel that the goals of multicultural education make it an important part of the curriculum that every student should experience. I agree with Wurzel (1988) and ...
... getting ready for school. I was relieved because this was after I had shaved and eaten breakfast. But it is hard to brush your teeth and put on your shirt with one hand. Driving, also, is very difficult task with one hand too. I had my sister hold Baby with the key in it while I drove. Half way to school Baby stopped crying. Another bad experience is when the baby would make you up in the middle of the night. On the night I had it; I couldn’t go to sleep until it cried because I did not want it to wake me up in the night. So I went to bed after 2 in the morning after the baby cried. But at 4 a.m. it woke me up. I did not get a good night of sleep that ...
... case of "Senioritis" are the same ones who complain about poor teaching. Of course all lazy students are not seniors. There are students from every grade level who do not do their homework or study. Effort must be put forth by the student in order for learning and retention to occur. Students who use illegal substances show the characteristics of a poor learner. The abuser may consistently forget homework assignments and do poorly on exams. Recovered drug user Bob* explains, "The pressure from your friends and society to use drugs is sometimes overwhelming. Once I started, everything went downhill, especially my grades." Drugs soon consume the student's life, ...
