Freedom Of Snowing In Public School

The streets are dangerous after it snows people are reckless and it's no place for children . That's why I have many reasons schools shouldn't ban snow days. The most important reason why schools shouldn't ban snow day because their are kids who can't take the school bus and won't be able to get to schools. Another reason why schools shouldn't get rid of snow days is if cars shouldn't be on the road than neither should kids. The third reason why snow days shouldn't be banned is parents who think its dangerous will revolt.

Schools are facing many issues today. Some are facing the debate about whether to keep standardized tests or not. Other schools are worried about academic performance. But others are worried about when kids should be in school. One issue that schools face today is what kind of school schedule there should be throughout the year. With the long break of summer, many people prefer the short breaks of year round schools. Year round schools, can actually benefit students in the long run. There should be year round schooling because it can help students learn more and forget less, other classes are included and childcare is provided, teachers get more time to plan and teach lessons.

In the first amendment, it is stated that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the exercise thereof.”. From this, it made clear that the founding fathers’ original intent was for the Government to take a neutral position with respect to religion; the Government was not to favor any one religion over another. “Almighty God we acknowledge our independence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parent, our teachers and our Country. Amen.” In 1951, that prayer was conducted in class every morning in all New York public schools as ordered by New York State Board of Regents; it was called a “nondenominational prayer”. The short prayer was created with the intent of developing students’ moral

A public school in New York during the start of each school day started with the Pledge of Allegiance and followed by a nondenominational prayer. The New York state law also allowed students to skip the prayer if found offensive. A parent of a student attending this school sued deeming the law violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Supreme Courts majority rule (8-1) claimed YES the public school sponsored prayer violates Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, even with allowing students to skip the prayer, it was still considered unconstitutional. This case is important because Chief Justice, Earl Warren states that school sanctioned prayers, including any type of public promotion of religion, violates the Establishment

cause. The students First Amendment rights will not be violated if the school doesn’t allow the

If kids do go to school year round then the poverty rate could go down because possibly kids could get a better education if they go to school all year round. Also there could be less crime from kids if they go to school year round. There have been some good points from the people that are against year round school also, such as there will probably be more kids that drop out of school because it is too much for them. Also it will create mayhem in the schools. One week is not enough time to plan for the upcoming school year. If there was any teacher that was asked the question is one week enough time for you to get ready for an upcoming school year? There would be majority of them say no. How about this, ask a kid if they want a chunk of their summer break in the winter. Majority of the kids would most likely say no. This is what the point of this whole thing is. Year round school is hard on everybody. Whether you are a teacher, a kid, even just a regular parent. No matter what happens, life will go on, but how about the people of the United States just sit down and think, is this really what you want? Is this what you were hoping would happen? A fight that has been going on for maybe as long as school has been going on. So if you want year round school, then tonight just sit down for about five minutes or so, and just think, is this what you really

As the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech to all Americans, there needs to be some sort of limit on when students go overboard. There are many different types of speech in which it can cause disruptions in the classroom when teachers and students state their own opinions that don’t always go with what the others agree with. Things such as the place of where they speak these things are affective to whether their claims are legal or illegal on any school campus. When students cause a disruption, even across the street from a school supervised event while promoting illegal drug use like Joseph Frederick did, it needs to be stopped as soon as possible whether it goes against the freedom of a student's speech or not.

Students don't have the same First Amendment rights they have in the public compared to school. Four major cases were brought to the Supreme Court concerning students' First Amendment, Tinker , Fraser, Hazelwood, and Morse. The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Only one ruled in favor of the student that being the first one, Tinker which set the stage for the rest. Students' First Amendment rights have changed since Tinker expanded upon students' right to being constricted because

A normal day can turn into a day filled with icy cold snow and warm hot chocolate just by one call. One call that gives everyone around the school district a sigh of relief that they can curl up back in their comfy beds and sleep for an extra two or more hours. Some may wonder how one call makes everyone’s day so much better: it is because it is a call from the school saying there is no school today due to icy conditions. Upon hearing this one can be sure that their phone will be buzzing with ones friends asking what they are doing today, or maybe one snoozes through all the texts and continues to curl up in one’s warm blankets, with dogs heating ones feet. No matter what one chooses to do there always seems to be a trend as one gets older. This trend is that in the grades kindergarten through fifth grade, children love snow days to stay outside and play; then in grades sixth through ninth, children love snow days to stay inside and watch movies; finally children tenth through twelfth grade, children love snow days to again go outside and play.

Today we learned about the legal rights of student bloggers. Public School Students have the First Amendment rights, and according to the Supreme Court, public school students don't "shed their constitutional right to freedom of speech or expression at the school gate." People who go to private school also have the First Amendment rights, but those rights only protect them from the government censorship, not private censorship. Which means your freedom of speech is only protected from the government and it is not protected from the private school you attend. Remember a public school can censor or punish students' on-campus speech. Although the Tinker decision recognized that students have free speech rights on campus, the court also held that

In Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment applied to public schools and that administrators had to provide constitutionally valid reasons for any specific regulation of speech in the classroom. However, in the 1986 case Bethel v. Fraser, it was ruled that educators were not violating students’ First Amendment right by censoring the content of their speech or writing. So are we, as students, protected by the First Amendment or not? Should we be able to write about a controversial topic as freely as any adult?

In the depths of the Middle East, certain issues seem to forever hinder the political atmosphere. Consequently, the city of Kars, Turkey produces these problems of secularism and gender that hurt some of the inhabitants. Snow by Orphan Pamuk is a novel that portrays the life of a man who is on a hidden quest for love, and as well as the lives of the people he meets in the city of Kars located in Turkey. In the process of this quest, the man also becomes involved with political issues within the city, which is more than he bargained for. By doing this, Pamuk is challenging how much of an effect this external force (the man) may have once it enters an internal and secluded space (the city).

To kick off National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Pediatric Dentistry of Ft. Myers will host unique snow-themed fundraising event on Saturday, October 1

David Sedaris’ essay, “Let It Snow” is a reflection of Sedaris’ past. A single day from his childhood in North Carolina where Sedaris and his siblings were home due to school being closed for few days because of bad weather. The story reflects solely on the relationship that Sedaris’ mother had with him and his sisters, and how it was affected by her drinking problem. Although the story revolved around the children the mother was the main character.

heard that it was possible for us to get a snow day but before I went to bed I saw it wasn't even snowing so I figured we wouldn't have one. I looked out my window and saw it was super windy and snowing very hard. I got super excited since I couldn't even seen my neighbors house. Usually if we couldn't see that it meant we had a snow day. I pulled the news on my phone to check if we had a snow. First thing I saw was that over a hundred schools had one! Surely we would be one of them. I scrolled down to the bottom since Zeeland is always at the bottom. “What” I yelled inside my head. “How on earth do we not have a snow day” I thought to myself.
