- 221: Teenage Sex
- ... culture and there's not a kid in the world who can avoid it." (Meier, 1994, p. 7). Teenagers are surrounded by some sort of sexual connotations all the time. Whether it is television, radio, school, or even the Internet, teenagers are hearing the affects of sex on our society. The price that teenagers pay for being sexually active greatly outweighs any advantages. The period of puberty occurs somewhere between the ... stress and emotional upset. The teenager may have intense feelings of fear, confusion and depression. In that case, it is a good idea for the girl to get help by talking to a counselor at school or a health clinic. Sooner or later, the pregnant teenager will have to face reality and make some tough choices. She will first have to decide whether or not to have the baby. If she ... During the first few months, the pregnant woman will undergo many changes. Morning sickness, tiredness and sudden mood swings are just a few of these changes. Teenagers will most likely not want to go to school feeling like that. After a few months of skipping school and receiving poor grades, the student is most likely to drop out altogether. Every year, about 40,000 teenage girls drop out of high ...
- 222: Justify The Knowledge Or It Wi
- ... think instead of how to think. The core of our education of children should not be the amount of material covered but the encouragement of thinking about the material which should be presented with a high degree of honesty with emphasis on awareness and responsibility. On many occasions in public school I can remember inquiring on the importance of material only to be laughed at by the class. In eleventh grade English, designed for vocational students, we read "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. We ... to choke any desire that might have been there to investigate the matters further. Consequently, books and knowledge brought to mind nothing but the meaningless boredom of the manner in which they were presented in school. Whether in school or out, reading books sucked. When that last bell rang it always sparked the conditioned thought of myself hanging out with friends, watching television, listening to music, smoking pot, and doing ...
- 223: The First Amendment: Free of Expression
- ... important rights in a truly democratic society. Without them there would be no new ideas; we would all conform under totalitarian rule for fear of punishment. However, when I, a common student at West Rowan High School try to express my feelings on "the state of the Bill of Rights in schools today" by making a computer presentation in multimedia class, my work is declared "bad" and my teacher and assistant principal ... will encourage students to become a part of that religion. The presentation was neither slanderous nor obscene, but it did criticize teachers and administrators calling them "fascist dictators". At first I was angry at the school because I could wear clothing that was obscene or contained liquor advertisements, now they have completely taken away my freedom of speech. This of course proved my argument that teachers and administrators are totalitarians. ...
- 224: Inclusion Of Handicapped Students In Public Education and Politics
- Inclusion Of Handicapped Students In Public Education and Politics In 1975, the Handicapped Act and subsequent law would forever change the public education system. Handicapped children would be included in mainstream public school life beginning in the elementary level. Inclusion meant that handicapped children would no longer be isolated. The question has long been asked why it took an additional eleven years after the passing of the Civil ... parents of these children could not afford to provide any other type of care for them, and again, the idea that the handicapped should be hidden was very strong. Finn (1996) reports that the public school system barred any child with an IQ lower than 36 from public education. Finn (1996) reports that after the abuse and neglect came into the public light, the federal government under Lyndon Johnson hoped that the states would pass their own laws to include handicapped children in school curriculums, but by 1970, only two states had done so (47). A number of lawsuits were brought against schools who denied access to handicapped children and a public campaign in support of the handicapped ...
- 225: Albert Einstein from Start to Finish
- ... a Jeckell and Hide. Albert Einstein was considered mentally retarded as a young child. This was because he simply chose to do what he wanted to do, in terms of schoolwork. He didn't like school too well, except for Math. In his classes he daydreamed constantly because he was so board with the lesson. His teachers came to the conclusion that he was mentally retarded and his classmates thought he was a stupid freak. How could a freak be known to every person in the world today for his extravagant contributions to Math and Science? He began high school at the age 12. He was only interested in Mathematics and Philosophy. Therefore he made no effort to work in his other classes. His father, Hermann Einstein, didn't want him to study Philosophy. ...

- 228: Personal Writing: My Experience with English Education
- Personal Writing: My Experience with English Education English has never been my favorite subject. In fact, it has always been my least favorite subject. Going through school, I often wondered why I needed to do so many English related tasks, and in wondering, I learned to detest the subject without realizing its future benefits. Why do I dislike English so much? Is ... wasn't actually learning how to speak English that bothered me, my dislike for English began to form when I began getting English education in a formal learning environment. That's when I remember elementary school. I don't recall disliking English then. It was more like I was learning new things - things that I did not learn at home or in pre-school - like reading, writing, and grammar. It felt good to finally know how to read and write (and I suppose it felt good to have knowledge of a little grammar too). These were things that ...
- 229: A Study of Public School Choice
- A Study of Public School Choice Parents and students are very unhappy with the public education offered to them by the government of United States. 51 percent of respondents to the latest Gallup Poll rated their community's public schools ... federal agencies create initiatives, recommendations and policies in hopes of meeting the publics demand for a system that can effectively educate our students. Private and government-formed commissions continually present proposals ranging from additional school days to increased discipline. A current favorable prospect is the idea of public school choice through vouchers. Public education, a monopoly-like system, generally dictates the specific school that each child will attend within his or her district. Under new choice plans, parents would gain the power to ...
