My colleagues, supports, we are here today to not only worship thy almighty Athena, but to debate on the education of our soon-to-be authoritative, strongest city-state in all of Greece. Education was very different in Sparta than it was in the other Greek city-states. In Athens, and in hundreds of other Greek city-states, the purpose of education was to produce good citizens. All citizens (remember, citizens were only men - women, children, and slaves were not citizens) were also trained to be good

Macrosociology is an “approach to analyze social class and how groups are related to one another” (Henslin, 2011 pg 86).

In middle school I began volunteering as an assistant soccer coach where I would sit and help teach new skills, from there in high school I did my student internship at a local middle school. Not only did I have experience in these

United States is no longer the leader in education standards and in fact is no longer even making the top ten when it comes to reading, math, and science literacy rankings among the world for education (Learning Curve, 8).

In America, citizens have the right to obtain an education that will withstand the test of time. This education that is given to us at no cost for twelve years of our lives is a gift like no other.

Even though Brown v. Board of Education ruled segregation in schools unconstitutional, it exists in a different form today. While the most students in schools are in normal classes, English Language Learners are often separated from the rest of the student body.

They rarely interact with the main student body, and it often seems that they
