- 23: Religion in Schools

- 24: Site Based Management
- ... Yet no two people agree on what it is, how to do it, or even why to do it. WHAT IS IT? So what is site-based management?

- 25: School Uniforms

In both cases, individual identity is stripped away and the subject is forced to conform to the same outward appearance as every other subject.

- ... represented in institutions of higher education and to end up in jobs offering little opportunity for social advancement (Brown 1987 p11). It is inequalities such as these that are present both in and out of school that will determine life chances of individuals. It is commonly accepted that education is the main determinant of where someone will find himself or herself in later life, certain experiences at different stages of the ... differences but since trends in employment and educational achievement still persist there is still a strong link between social class and life chances. The schooling system has been regarded by some Marxist writers who feel school is primarily a means of reproducing the existing structure of social and economic inequalities (Brown 1987 p15). In this manner it can be argued that the way children are schooled neither takes away or adds to the current inequalities but merely adds to them. One of the ways this can be illustrated is when school leaving ages are examined. In order to enter into higher prestige jobs further educational qualifications are generally required where as manual and low-skilled work does not demand an equivalent level of qualification. According ...
- 28: A Critique of C. S. Lewis
- ... the decision to follow the impulse itself. The "learned" argument is refuted by his analogy of a boy on the island who is unaware of the existence of the process of multiplication.

This human convention, consequently, did not invent multiplication just as it did not invent the law of nature. However, this comparison is based on ... but some how exists as an inherent part of the human psyche. This law also presents itself in the form of decisions and actions in line with what ought to be done. There is no school-room which imparts this law and the practice of it. Consequently, mathematics needs to be taught and learned. The attempts to equate the law of nature with mathematics in an analogy is misleading. The only ... Therefore, pains existence in a universe created by a "good and omnipotent God is logically feasible. The next work by C. S. Lewis is The World's Last Night. This work contains an essay on prayer.

- 29: What Went Wrong: An Examination of Separation of Church and State
- ... the most from these “separation of church and state “ rulings are the children of America. We are headed into the third generation of people that do not know what it's like to pray in school in the morning. Luckily, Catholic and private schools aren't affected by this legislature, so some children can be free. School prayer and religious liberty became hot debates following the 1962 supreme court case Engel v. Vitale. Following this case, the Supreme Court began attacks on the traditional practice of praying at the start of a ...
- 30: Nutrition In Schools
- ... calorie filled lunches? Is the food served actually giving the students a poor representation of what a healthy lunch consists of? Are these lunches actually bad for students overall health? I feel that if a school is depended upon to teach our children education, let’s not overlook the education and benefits of quality nutrition. More children at Alvah A. Scott Elementary School are depending upon the school for breakfasts and lunches, but nothing is being done to ensure these meals are of high nutritional value. A U. S.
