- 654: Let's Really Reform Our Schools
- ... several controversial changes in the way high schools are run, such as banning troublemakers from class and requiring students to wear uniforms. I agree with Garland that troublemakers should be banned from the traditional high school. When I was in California there were two ways to deal with this situation: first is special schools for troublemakers and second is work-placement programs for those who don't want to attend any school. The first way is to have special neighborhood schools that are designed to deal with students who have a history of being very disruptive in a traditional school setting. These schools would limit the class size to no more than six students for the least violent or two per teacher for the most violent. They would be surrounded by a ten foot ...

Daisy learns from Donny's principal that"… Donny was noisy, lazy, and disruptive…" (Schwiebert 287). Daisy explains to the principal that her and her husband, Matt, have tried what they can. "We don't let him watch TV on school nights. We don't let him talk on the phone till he's finished his homework. But he tells us that he doesn't have any homework or he did it all in study hall ... way, really, to convey how exhausting all this was." (Schwiebert 287) The lines of communication were broken. People were frustrated, and couldn't express themselves the way they should have. Especially Donny. "In December, the school called again. This time they wanted Matt to come as well."

- 656: Political Correctness: The Teddy Bear Massacre
- ... of the bruin was just one of many activities held during the week before the big UCLA game. The idea being that everyone could find something that they could identify with and rally around their school. If the burning was intentionally created to represent or oppress the offended students, the event would have been banned long ago. However, as Matt Hutaff stated in his editorial in the Daily Trojan: "It’s about school pride. It’s love for the things that brought the university to where it is today. It is traditions that define a school; it’s student body and its heritage. Strip the school of its traditions and all you have is a school that isn’t worth rallying behind." [5] In appeasing one group, it seems the ...

- 660: Hardships Of Southern Sharecro
- ... of the southern share croppers was their lack of education. There were several reasons the share croppers didn’t get the education they needed. One main reason was because many children didn’t go to school.
