Be it Enacted by the Student Congress of Northwood Middle School that schools should increase more activities in schools that appreciates, stimulates, and enhance the creativity in students.
This bill is necessary because schools have remained unchanged since many generations past, despite how people in the present doesn’t think the ways that were taught in the past applies the same way to now. In a conversation with Ken Robinson, he had quoted that, “You know, for my generation—I was born in 1950—we were told that if you worked hard, went to college, and got a regular academic degree, you'd be set for life. Well, nobody thinks that's true anymore, and yet we keep running our school systems as though it were. So many people have degrees now

The world is rapidly changing, natural resources are decreasing, technology is expanding, it’s all greatly different from what it was like in the past. The world is becoming more unpredictable, the problems that are transpiring today is completely different from what’ve happened in the past; and it would need a whole lot of innovation to deal with such problems in our future. Now, the specific requirements of this bill are to bring changes to the school’s syllabus, reducing the use of lectures and simply marking incorrect answers as wrong and left be, and instead intrigue students with participation and interaction, and require the education in various arts to be just as important as education of mathematics, languages, and humanities. According to a new study, undergraduate students in classes that shares the traditional method of lectures is 1.5 times more likely to fail in classes compared to ones that include interactions and involvement. To look into that information even more, rendering from Freeman’s study of under graduate STEM teaching methods, it has
These gains have resulted in extra funding, enhanced teacher training and even tutoring. Bush was quoted as saying, “The era of low expectations and low standards is ending; a time of great hopes and proven results is arriving and together we are keeping a pledge: every child in America will learn, and no child will be left behind….” (Bush, par. 5). President Bush has placed great enhances on testing. It is believed that frequent testing in the classroom can be used as a guide to help individual schools build academically. Also, each school would receive a grade for its achievement level and be required to post it for the public to see. The bill insists on higher standards and higher achievement levels for all school. It joins the teachers, principles and education chiefs together in the fight for high education. It encourages great value and instills hope for our country.
An important function of the Henry Bill is that it would mean more equality for homeschooled students. The public seems to understand this. In fact, recent Gallup polls focusing specifically on High School Sports in Louisiana suggest that close to 70 percent of state residents support the Henry Bill. Unfortunately, the citizens’ voices are being undermined by politics. Although this issue is not usually immersed in partisan politics, the Henry Bill has been thwarted by the partisan Committee for Equality in Education, so it has never gone before the Senate : the Henry Bill must be passed and signed into law.
“While strongly condemning any attempt to abuse the person of Muhammad, or an insult to our holy places and prejudice against the faith we reject and strongly condemn the use of force to terrorize innocent people and the killing of innocent people” (Benghazi 11). A quote, said by Libyan Prime Minister, Mustafa Abushagar, as a result to the attack on a United States Embassy in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. This attack is considered an act of terror on the United States and as a result, four Americans were killed. Set in a post 9/11 setting, this event is one of the most controversial. Some people believe Hilary Clinton, former Secretary of State, did not do enough with security at international embassies, while others believe that she did everything she could and was supposed to. The bombing of the US
The U.S. House of Representative Bill 610 is sponsored by Representative Steve King and the House committee is Education and the Workforce. This bill was put into place for “distributing Federal funds for elementary and secondary education in the form of vouchers for eligible students and to repeal a certain rule relating to nutrition standards in schools” (Smith.) The significance behind putting this bill into place is to provide a “better” way of education an to get rid of the “waste” we “currently” have in our eduational system. The U.S. House of Representatives should not pass Bill 610 because it detroys many basic American rights set in the Constitution, cuts all “special” classes and other educational funding, and cuts free/reduced lunches
As generations pass, and students change and develop, teachers and administrators propose new techniques to help students improve. From the introduction of school, to the division of age groups, to standardized testing, someone always has a new way to help students in school. A new idea, however, may be the key to success. A school in Massachusetts has developed a new program that challenges students with college level classes while still in high school. As students improve in school, to prevent boredom in the classroom, they need a challenge, this challenge being harder level, college courses. While still in the comfort of high school, students experience the rigor of college classes, this helping ease the transition into higher education
Children’s creativity must be extended by the provision of support for their curiosity, exploration and play. They must be provided with opportunities to explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings, for example, through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities, mathematics, and design and technology.

Not only do students lose opportunity in learning from these areas, but the law is also underfunded which the defeats the purpose as well as contradicting itself in the sense that students won’t be achieving the goals set by this law. By 2011, more than 50% of schools were labeled “failing”, and lawmakers saw the need for a change, but weren’t able to produce a bill. That year, the Obama administration offered states a reprieve from many of the law’s mandates through a series of
My primary concern for passing this bill is student loan debt. The current student loan debt in the United States is $1.2 trillion and studies show that 70 percent of college students that graduate leave school with student loan debt that averaged $33,000. Currently the class of 2015 is the most indebted class ever because of student loans, and not only are the students in debt but the parents too. Studies have shown that about 17 percent of college graduates have parents with loans out on their behalf because of the extreme cost of a college education. As a student, these outstanding figures are terrifying. Studies have shown that this debt directly correlates with student drop out rate. There are many reasons why students drop out but one
Montresor is the kind of person that you don’t want get on their bad side, He's the kind of person that enjoys long walks on the beach and the occasional MURDER. In the story "Cask of Amontillado" written by Edgar Allen Poe, Montresor is main Character/Narrator, and his main goal in the story is to seek revenge on his once good friend Fortunato who has embarrassed Montresor one to many times. So Montresor's plan is to trick Fortunato down into his family's catacomb by telling Fortunato that there is a cask of amontillado in the catacombs. So Fortunato follows Montresor down into the catacombs where he chains Fortunato in a niche in the wall and seals him in with brick and mortar. As you can see Montresor successfully kills Fortunato because he's an unsympathetic character with a dark demeanor and an unhealthy mental state.
children’s education should be based on their interests and their active involvement. An activity using
Not only is this bill affecting the children, but it is also affecting the parents and teachers. For example, the teachers don’t have to worry about schools not being able to open due to a shortage of money from the state. Also, parents with low income no longer have the stress of their children not getting the same education as those with higher income. Education is a unifying topic and should not be dividing our country. This bill is considered to be historic bringing opportunity back to all Illinois students.
Introduction: Another important bill proposal is to get rid of Common Core, and instead replace it with a different system that will enforce individual growth and learning . In many schools across the nation, common core is damaging the student’s learning by stopping kids from getting a choice of what they want to learn. Common core also slows student’s learning by not focusing the child’s requirements and needs for education. In addition, parents no longer have much of a voice in speaking for their child’s education. This causes many parents to dislike schools, as it prevents their child from achieving what either the adult or child wants to achieve. In addition, Common Core forces a large group of kids to learn the same thing, the exact same
During President Bush’s term, government became aware that American schooling needed major improvement. There was a need of a law which would improve the system while using scores to evaluate students as well as their teachers. "The fundamental principle of this bill is that every child can learn, we expect every child to learn, and you must show us whether or not every child is learning," (Secretary, 2002) President George W. Bush said on Jan. 8, 2002, signing ceremony of No Child Left Behind Act. However, this one size fits all approach revealed not be resourceful. "The goals of No Child Left Behind, the predecessor of this law, were the right ones: High standards. Accountability. Closing the achievement gap, but in practice, it often fell short. It didn 't always consider the specific needs of each community. It led to too much testing during classroom time. It often forced schools and school districts into
This paper reviews four important trends in our educational system today across America and discusses the impact of these trends on our future educational system.
