Why We Need A School

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” This is stated in the Declaration of Independence by our founding fathers it says that all men are created equal, but they’re not being treated equal and a change needs to occur. In the U.S. lesbians, gays, bisexual and transsexual students in schools are being denied the rights they constitutionally deserve such as equal protection from bullying and harassment

Music In Schools What is music? Music is “vocal or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Music is a way of life, a way to escape from problems in my life, and is a way to express myself. Bringing music into school programs was brilliant, because it helps students, like me, to be more than just a regular student. It expands our ability to do more and be more as a student, at such a young age. I could go on forever about

in a school or public library. This brings to light a topic that impacts all of us in one way or another, censorship in the form of book bans. This leads to a topic that can be the center of debate for many, whether or not we should allow the censorship of books, or other forms of media, in our libraries. And by censoring books, we are referring to taking them off of the shelves. Of course, many people have strong opinions on this. Coincidentally, I also have an opinion. My opinion is that we should

I think it's funny that the subject of year-round school is still a topic of debate. The reason is I just want to have good teachers and get a good education. I really don't care when and how the schedule is set up because I know my mom and dad will support me and get me to where and when I need to be. But, if I had a choice I would choose to have a schedule similar to what Nick Castellino writes about in his letter. I feel that of the two letters Nick wrote the one I agreed with more. Nick's letter

The School We Need, Chapter Five E.D. Hirsch in chapter five of his book The Schools We Need & Why We Don't Have Them (1996) asserts that the goal of educators is to give their students a high level of general competence, and develop individual's who can think critically about a diverse subjects, who can communicate well, can solve a diversity of problems, and are ready to tackle unfamiliar challenges (p. 143). The author maintains that although modern day educators are in agreement that these

Hussein Obama, in his speech made on September 8, 2009 in a national address to America’s school children, “Why We Need to Go to School,” tells the responsibility each of the students has for their education and the significance of learning. He adopts a sincere tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences of learning in his young audience. Obama’s purpose is to convey the idea that, people need study and all the students should put their best effort into everything they do. Obama furthers

American school year was constructed around a nine-month schedule requiring 180 days in the classroom. But times are changing and many people are suggesting that the school system in America does away with this “outdated” system and move into this new idea of the “year round education”. There are theories that knowledge is lost when kids go on summer break and others think that financially summer breaks are in fact needed. What needs to be explored further is what affect does year round school have

A school district’s ability to prepare students to be college and career ready is evaluated based upon standardized testing (William, 2010). Even as standardized testing has been the focus of a great deal of discussion and controversy in recent years regarding the validity of using standardized test scores to determine student proficiency, such tests have become more important as mandates such as No Child Left Behind required the use of standardized tests to determine if school districts are adequately

Schools in the United States of America throw away tons of food on a daily basis. This food can be repurposed and put to good use so that not only are schools being Eco-friendly but they instill similar habits to school children. The amount of time spent placed on setting up a system and enforcing it, takes time however the time spent doing this makes for cleaner and greener foods. Today landfills are severely overflowing in many cities, causing mayors, governors, and other office holders to call

are a big thing in life and schools should focus on it. When it comes to practice, practice does take a lot of time off of kids free time. When they need to focus and concentrate on grades and school work, that is easy to do when they play sports. It will not only benefit them socially but physically and mentally. Even when they only play golf or some sport that doesn't involve too much running, it will still benefit them. Grades is an important thing in high school. Actually, one of the most
