- 151: Teenagers On After-school Jobs
- Almost every teenager wants a job, yet many people are against it. I believe teenagers should have after-school jobs for a number of reasons. First, having a son or a daughter that works can financially help the parents. Also, the experience the teenager will acquire from after-school jobs will help him or her on future jobs. Finally, teenagers should have after-school jobs because it will keep them away from trouble. Parents should realize that as long as their son or daughter wants an after-school job and it does not affect his or her performance ...
- 152: High School/College Contrasts
- High School/College Contrasts I have spent four years in high school and only two and a half months in college, but I have already noticed a lot of differences between the two. Some of the changes were good, but there were also some bad ones. The first difference I noticed right away was the fact that you don't have all of your classes every day of the week. In high school, you had anywhere from three to six classes every day. They weren't very long, but that gave you homework almost every night. In college, however, you normally have about five classes. Some of ...
- 153: Booker T. Washington
- ... knowledge was power, not just knowledge of "books", but knowledge of agricultural and industrial trades. He felt that the Negro would rise to be an equal in American society through hard work. Washington founded a school on these principles, and it became the world's leader in agricultural and industrial education for the Negro. As the world watched him put his heart and soul into his school, Tuskegee Institute, he gained great respect from both the white and black communities.

- 154: Gangs
- ... This "pack" behavior, not surprisingly, seems to be at the core of much of the rise in youth crime. A study of New York City teenage gunshot victims found that 40 percent were shot during school hours. Another study found that of children and teenagers wounded in drive-by shootings in Los Angeles, 71 percent were "documented members of street gangs." Not only do gang members tend to be more violent ... Justice Department estimates, the United States has some 1,436 gangs and 120,636 gang members. They exist in all size communities and in rural areas. The Justice Department figures are disputed by the National School Safety Center, which in 1993 estimated that the Los Angeles area alone has at least 959 gangs with approximately 125,000 gang members. There are many types of gangs. Some are black, white, Asian, Hispanic ... as a whole. Our plan is primarily focused on prevention but also includes some stricter laws as a deterrent to others.

This would make sure all children had a better education. It would also keep many involved in ...
- 155: 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 ...

- Dating In Highschool To Real Life Love Situations I was 16 years old in the fall of my sophomore year in high school when I first experienced living with love, or the idea of it.

- 159: Lockers In School
- Lockers In School There is an issue that needs to be addressed. It has caused confusion throughout the school. Should we have lockers or not? It is a very good question. What do you think? Don't say anything until you hear both sides the right and the wrong. I think that it is ... weight in our backs, because we have some troublemakers. Which side will you end up on?

- 160: Prevent Coercive Prayer in Public Schools
- ... Clause, forms the foundation of the right of every American to practice their chosen religion freely and without the interference of the government. In 1947, the Supreme Court issued a statement emphasizing the separation of school and state based on this amendment. Students are entitled to the right to express their religious beliefs in school, but it is unconstitutional for the administration to endorse or discriminate against any religion. Due to this interpretation, the practice of coercive prayer is unconstitutional, and should be kept forever separated from this nation's schools. The purpose of public schools is to educate, not indoctrinate. Schoolchildren are a captive audience. How could a second-, fourth-, or even sixth-grader view the routine recital of prayers during the school day as a voluntary action? This invasive practice would create unnecessary divisions among children by making them unduly aware of their religious differences. Public schools are for everyone, whether they are Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim, ...
