- 681: Discipline in the Classroom: Past and Present
- ... confinement as a penalty for an offense committed by a student. During the time that corporal punishment was used by schools all over the United States and Canada, parents did not have any say in school discipline. It was completely up to the school authority figures on the type of punishment and the severity of the punishment given to the student. The classroom teacher had the most say in the matter since it was the teacher who usually administered ... students. Because of this, some teachers (who especially liked the idea of physical punishment) took advantage of the minor guidelines set by the principal to protect students from excessive physical beatings. These guidelines varied from school to school, but often included length, width and thickness of the paddle or any other weapon used, the amount of times the student may be struck by the weapon, and other minor details about ...

There are four schools in France that provide for the bulk of the engineering education after high school. These are called NATIONAL INSTITUTS FOR APPLIED SCIENCES or INSA. These institutions are very comprehensive and high level. The NATIONAL INSTITUTS FOR APPLIED SCIENCES or INSA take students who have completed their secondary school studies and select them on the basis of their examination results and their academic records.

All the INSAs train their students according to the same principles and curricula as the other four institutions.

The initial qualifications of those who apply for admission to INSA guarantee the high quality of the ...
- 685: Schools And Tests
- ... arguments presented deals with the conditions of the schools. Specifically the renewal and renovations of schools comes into question. Should the harried taxpayers of Cobb and Dekalb counties, for instance, bail out incompetent or corrupt school boards in other states?

A circular argument is where the ... her character, which has no relevance on the argument being made. This statement has no relevance on the point of the schools in America. The second point Williams focuses on is the education of the school system in the country. More specifically he turns his attention to the testing of America s youth through the end of high school. High school graduates can take the SAT or the ACT. Well, this sentence is a clear case of the false extremes fallacy. Dick Williams assumes that high school graduates have only the choice of ...

We drove almost half way then Thomas started to speak out. “Hey man I can’t believe it today is the ... is the biggest rivalry west of the Mississippi. Anyway the point was to treat it just like any other game, and not let the massive crowds get to you.

- 689: Random Drug Testing
- ... would like to respond to your recent article concerning random drug testing. I believe that random drug tests violate a student’s constitutional right to privacy and should not be a mandatory part of the school system.

And if a student is caught with an illegal substance in their body, it should not be grounds to expel that student ... their system. The fourth amendment states that searches should not be performed unless there is a probable cause to do so. Clearly, the concept of random drug testing is in violation of this amendment. In school, pop quizzes are given to ensure that students are doing their homework, putting adequate study time in, and paying attention in class.

Fact prove that the total number of violent deaths at school has decreased each year, but the number of violent incidents with multiple fatalities has increased from 1995-1998 as opposed to 1992-1995. (Internet www.abcnews.go.com) Millions of people watch the news, or read the newspaper and wonder why younger kids have such low academic levels. Do you think that you could sit in class all day and focus on school work when you hear all these stories about people getting killed in school. Maybe us being older and being more understanding we could forget about those problems and focus on what were doing, but the younger children who are not yet as understanding and mature will not ...
