The Neccessity Of School Attendance
.... I personally have a lot of difficulty with. Why does the board of education and the federal government get to decide when and where students should attend. Why don't the students get some sort of say on those issues? I felllike I should be able to have a vote on when we should get our breaks and when school should start and end.

.... of information about different types of women. There is a lack of workshops, seminars, and classes, which in turn lead to a lack of teaching resources. Without the availability of these resources teachers are faced with barriers that are not so easily overturned.

Alienation In Schools
.... were often slower and needed more time. They would often explain to us how the grading was done differently. For example, if I received a C in an honors course, it would be an A in a general course. Researchers are often divided themselves on this issue. While some have found that students with LD should interact with other students, other believe they need more attention and should be separated.

educated students with less money and fewer supplies than today. Each class was
approximately 40% larger than today's classes, and they functioned with about
