What most influenced my decision and interpretations in this case was the fact that the students could not be trusted with concealing the identities of the interviewees within the article, since it was proven that their identities were not fully hidden. The topics in the article were about teen pregnancy and criticism of parents, which can be controversial and thus distracting in a school environment. The principal of the school, upon observation, noticed the identities were not hidden well. With a deadline to meet, there was no way the students would have been able to revise the newspaper and reorganize the articles, so the principal took out the pages. In this case the principal made a responsible decision given the interests of the school
I believe that the dilemma is simple: a student challenges the school official authority. I said simple because not for the dilemma’s complexity rather for the regularity with which a young behave in a rebellious manner.

I do not understand how can someone see people be treated the way patients at Willow brook were treated and no do anything about it. Patients at Willow brook were suffering. Seen their families talk about what they went thru made me very sad. I do not blame the parents for taking their sons/daughter to this facility. They did what they thought was right. They probably never imagined that this was going to happen. They took their children there thinking they were going to get help and get the right treatment. Thankfully some of them were taken from their families just in time, before something worst happen. The students and their parents, they were all victims of the inhumane way they were treated at Willow brook.
Reason Filed: Students at Hazelwood East High School had two articles omitted from a school sponsored student newspaper by the principal. The
In May of 1983, some students in the journalism class at hazel wood high school in Missouri, made the final edition of the school newspaper. They then gave the newspaper to the adviser, Howard Emerson, who wa a newbie. He gave the principal the final review of the paper before it was published. When the principal, Reynolds, reviewed the paper, there were 2 articles that he didn’t like. The first article was about teen pregnancy, including some comments from students that were pregnant at the school. Names weren’t given, but Reynolds thought there was too much information on the topic and he was concerned about the privacy of the students. So he took that article out. The second article was about divorce, and this one included a lot of personal stuff. Reynolds was not happy about what the students said about their families. One student said a lot of revealing things about their dad, and the dad hadn’t been given a chance to explain himself. He also didn’t want 9th graders to be reading about sex and birth control, which were in both articles. Reynolds took out the second article also, and published the rest of the paper.
Facts: In May of 1983, proof pages for the school newspaper was given to Principal Robert E. Reynolds. Upon review, Reynolds discovered that the paper, the Spectrum, included two articles that he deemed inappropriate for the school paper. One of the articles was about a girl who blamed her father for her parent’s divorce and the other was about school life as a pregnant teenager. Student Cathy Kuhlmeir, along with two other former Hazelwood East students, brought suit in the District Court (Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, n.d.).
Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might
Do you believe the Board of Education violated her right to privacy? Were they justified in firing her?

The students never asked consent of the adult to publish the story. Since it is a private matter the school might get sued because the newspaper is under the school’s responsibilities to censor it or publish it.Some people might take offense and the responsibilities would fall onto the school not the students. The article could have distracted the students opinion and not focus on school curriculum. Changing the name of the students was enough because it didn’t make it private. Rumors will spread since schools are small and it’s obvious which people are pregnant in the
Mrs. Smith was justified in demanding that Britney Sullivan log on to social media and reveal the “secret group” suspected of cheating because Mrs. Smith’s suspicions were supported by facts and she narrowly focused her “search” to the group’s discussion of the AP history exam questions. Before searching through a student’s personal items, school officials need to have reasonable grounds to believe that the student has violated a school rule. Reasonable grounds can be based on all sorts of information, including a tip from another student as well as a student’s history of breaking school rules. Mrs. Smith knew that a group of AP History students missed the same questions, had, unexpectedly, extremely high test scores and she had a tip that the test had been stolen and questions discussed by a secret group on a specific social media site. The tip and the fishy test results gave Mrs. Smith enough suspicion to question Sullivan, a member of the suspect group who had broken school rules before. Cheating on a high school exam is a very serious violation. And the more serious the violation, the stronger the school’s reasons to search for evidence to either approve or dispel it. “Fourth Amendment rights… are different in public schools… the reasonableness inquiry cannot disregard the schools custodial and tutelary responsibility for children.”(Board of Education v. Earls 536 U.S. 844) This is
In this section the procedure outlined in ASCE 7-10 to calculate external pressure coefficients, GCp, for roof components and cladding (C&C) are described, and the CFD LES results are compared with the GCp recommended design values from ASCE 7-10 along with wind-tunnel data and TTU field measurements. According to the ASCE 7-10, the external pressure coefficients recommended for C&C for gable roof of low-rise buildings with a roof pitch less than 7º shall be evaluated based on surface zone definition in Figure 30.4-2A from ASCE 7-10 [4]. This figure is represented in this chapter in Figure 5.24. According to the Figure 5.24, the first step to evaluate GCp is to calculate the effective width, , and defining the effective area of each zone on the roof. The effective width should be the minimum of 10 percent of least horizontal dimension or 0.4h, but not less than either 4% of least horizontal dimension or 3 ft (0.9 m). For the case study TTU low-rise building with dimensions of 3.96m x 9.14m x 13.72 m, the value of is calculated as follows:
Following the Hazelwood decision of 1988, school officials such as principles were given the right to censor student publications and practice prior review; reading the articles before they are published. Many school officials fortunately refrain from using their ability to do so. Sadly, nearly one third of journalism students and teachers have reported administrative censorship over their content

This case study focuses on Jamie and Johanna, daughters of Pam and Tyrone Jenkins. The girls are 9-year-old identical twins who both have their separate strengths and weaknesses. Their nutritional intake, daily habits, and psychosocial development will be assessed. Recommendations on how to improve these areas of their life will be made using current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Heart Association (AHA), and other nationally accredited sources.
