Case Study: Palm Coast

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he is fed for a lifetime. In today’s society, education is very similar to this statement. Schools are commanded to teach aspects of life that only benefit the student for an end-of-the-year test. Students are not taught what is to come in the life after school. Because of the poor quality in education today, the emphasis on standardized test has become overwhelming.

Students dread the time of the year when they stop with their course material and begin to prepare for test. Everyone is in agreement that some type of revolution is needed when it comes to education; eliminating standardized test will aid the reform. The need for standardized testing has proven to be ineffective and outdated; some leading educationalist also believe this because the tests do not measure a student’s true potential. This will save money, stop labeling, and alleviate stress in students and teachers.

Although legislatives assumption was that high stakes testing would enhance understudy inspiration, and raise understudy accomplishment, that supposition was completely incorrect. The effect of standardized testing (high-stakes testing) has not been positive throughout the United States at all. Due to the lack of motivation, the high retention rate, and notable change in dropout rate, it may be a while until many states recover, especially for states like Louisiana. According to Nola, Louisiana is tied with Florida for having one of the country’s fifth lowest graduation rates, and one of the highest dropout rates. Our society needs to come together and think of a plan that will help students, and prevent the increasing number of kids who decide to give up on school. A system that will benefit both students, and teachers should be created; making it better for both, students and teachers to work together properly. With a new system student motivation may improve, the number of over aged students sitting in the wrong grade will decrease, and the notable dropout rate will actually

Education plays an important role in every person’s future. Not only does it enhance a person’s intellect, but it allows them to discover what they want to become. For the past years, high school students were having trouble graduating and when Texas ranked the lowest in the population that received a high school diploma, the state decided to minimize the amount of exams students had to pass. Although Texas students became successful in graduating, this way of graduating harms the student because they were unable to understand the basics in their education. The reduction of End-of-course exams from fifteen to five and later to three motivate students, but also teaches them that they don’t need to work hard.

Jordan Herman is a tall, thin, outdoorsman who believes in changing the school system to fit every student’s needs. Herman graduated from Brainerd in 2000, with a love of learning. He went to UMD for three years, then he student-taught in Costa Rica. Next he taught in St. Paul, which is where he realized that the way school is, doesn’t meet the necessities of every, or even most students that goes through the school system. To someone who learns by doing hands on lessons, tests aren’t helpful, nor are they effective in testing their knowledge.

Decreasing crime is a major effect of installing a Neighborhood Watch program. Adults can take turns on who watches for crime on an agreed schedule. Someone may even volunteer to buy video cameras to ensure safety. This will make crime reduce significantly in the Alpena community. Realistically, not everyone will be willing to participate, but even a few volunteers will suffice. Imagine a community where there is little to no crime, because every criminal know they will be seen by their neighbor, friends parents, or family members. Every neighborhood will be at least a little bit safer.

I agree the supervisor’s created a hostile and disrespectful work environment. Ms. Faragher must not have known about the employer policy on how to report her supervisor’s for their harassing behavior. It appears Ms. Faragher did not follow the employer protocol or chain of command to give an account on the way she was being spoken to and for the unwanted advances and touching. Even though she waited to file a sexual harassment suit against the City of Boca Raton, the employer should be held accountable for the actions and harassment by their supervisors. Bill Terry, Davis Silverman and Robert Gordon knew about each other’s conduct. They took advantage of their authority by the way they carried on while in the work place and by the

The 1980s brought a new reform movement in education, accompanied by a new emphasis on testing. The effort to improve education at all levels included the use of standardized tests to provide accountability for what students are learning. Minimum competency tests, achievement tests, and screening instruments were used to ensure that students from preschool through college reached the desired educational goals and achieved the minimum standards of education that were established locally or by the state education agency. As we continue in a new century, these concerns have increased.

C. Compute the cost of delivering a “10 X 20” X20’ X15” box, weighing 40 pounders, from your hometown to long beach California. Compare the fastest delivery against the least cost. How long did this process take? Looking into the business services offered by UPS. How do they make this process easier when you are a business customer?

“Meaningful,” however, may have multiple meanings within context. Many people, parents, teachers, and students alike, disagree with the rules and regulations brought forward by the Arizona College and Career Ready State Standards. They believe that the new standards lack specificity and that the training necessary for teachers to understand how to teach the new standards may not be worth the time or money. Budgeting is a primary source of conflict and controversy. By funding the production of the new tests and teacher training, schools and districts are forced to be cut back in other important areas, such as learning and testing tools for special needs children (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities). Another major argument is that the new standards focus more on obtaining better test scores and increased school rankings than actual knowledge. In complete contrast, many people strongly agree with the new standards brought forth by the Arizona College and Career Ready State Standards. It is believed by these people that the new approach will increase academic rigor and improve students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills. Consistency between different schools and even different states’ curriculum promotes easier transitions and both parents and students will always know what to expect. Those who support the standards

The Neighborhood Watch program is one of the oldest forms of organized community crime prevention in the United States. Its history dates back as far as the late 1960s. As a method of fighting and preventing crime in residential communities, this program has shown to be very effective. This paper will cover the beginning of the Neighborhood Watch program, its growth up to the present day, and a few of its success stories.

The educational system in the United States has gone through many changes over the last century. These changes are a part of a constant movement toward educational excellence for every child in this nation. One of the most recent acts placed on public school systems by the government is to create more accountability for schools in order to ensure that all children are receiving the proper education. Part of this mandate is that public schools will require students to take tests in order to gather information about their academic achievement. Although educators and administrators claim that the mandatory ability testing programs being initiated in America’s public schools will hold students and teachers accountable for academic

Schems tried talking to him as Ewertz and Gordon climbed onto the truck to help him out of the door. Corbley called 911 while Ballard and Allen contained the oil and hydraulic fluid in buckets

Neighborhood Crime Prevention Programs vary in number and purpose. One of the oldest and most effective neighborhood crime prevention programs in the U.S. is the Neighborhood Watch which was first started in 1972. The concept of a neighborhood watch can be traced back to days when night watchmen patrolled the streets. Today, what we know as the neighborhood watch was developed from sheriff and police chiefs who wanted a neighborhood crime prevention program that would involve the citizens and to reduce the increase in robberies. Neighborhood watches worked then and continue to work now because it helps reduce the opportunities to commit crime. The Neighborhood watch was created to help strengthen the relationships between the neighbors and community crime prevention. The police have relied on the community for years to help assist with crime prevention. In fact, neighborhood watches have
