- ... they leave college, leads them to abandon their education and head straight for the professional leagues. Some athletes, like Shawn Kemp or Kobe Bryant, skip college entirely. Kemp and Bryant both went directly from high school to the National Basketball Association, and are currently making millions of dollars a year. Other athletes, such as Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby, Terry Glen, and Tim Biakabatuka, all college phenomenons from basketball and ... the idea of paying the players because of the competition it would foster within the team. Who would decide how much each player receives? Another issue this question raises is of the projection to high school seniors deciding where to attend college. Would starting salaries, not educational opportunities, become their priority in deciding where to attend? These problems would be easily eliminated by standardizing the salary across Division I sports. It ... academics as the number one priority. The fact that many argue that scholarship should be enough payment for athletes illustrates the paradoxical nature of the current situation. The Division I schools acknowledge that outstanding high school athletes should be rewarded, and they give such athletes scholarships. However, a scholarship is not always a reward for an athlete.

- ... and cost are a few of the criteria that will be discussed for locating the new parking deck. After reviewing the criteria, the location for the new parking facility should be at the current Kilby School. Plans have already been discussed for the relocation of Kilby School and the future empty location would provide the optimum qualities needed for a new parking deck.

Baumer also says, We were trained in the army for ten weeks and in this time more profoundly influenced then by ten years at school (21).

- 1935: Its A Right Handed World
- ... handed people are much more serious than most people realize. There are many things that right-handed people take for granted that are more difficult for left-handers. This includes many basic skills taught in school, such as learning to write, learning to use scissors, and learning various crafts, hobbies, sports, and other activities. If we don't teach left-handed children just as well as we teach right-handers, they are more likely to lose interest in school and to lose confidence in themselves. It is not exactly clear how all left-handers fare in our society, but indications are that many are not doing well. Studies show a higher dropout rate for ... bitter memories about the way their parents and teachers treated them. Younger left-handers have had an easier time of things, but they still have many complaints and frustrations. How would this world, or this school, be different if left-handed people were a majority? First of all, a right-handed person might be writing an article like this complaining about the injustices towards the right-handed. Binders would open ...

- ... where she met and married John Bundy. At the time Ted was four years old. He was adopted by John and his new parents had four children together. From the beginning Ted did well in school. His teachers complimented him on his good grades. But they also commented on Ted's inability to control his violent temper. Friends recall Ted as one who would usually avoid fights, though when provoked could explode with frightening violence and anger. Ted was active in Boy Scouts and attended church regularly.

- ... altering ideas or approaching concepts from different angles as you become more educated and mature. Creativity allows you to take your ideas in any direction that you wish. When you start your education in elementary school you learn very easy concepts. As you proceed, you build upon early ideas with more advanced concepts.

In ... a new world, and it preserves the zest of life by the suggestion of satisfying purposes" (Whitehead, 15). Many individuals in my generation have very short attention spans. They can't be fully interested in school, without the freedom to express their own ideas and imagination. I believe that capturing student's interests involves acts of incorporating imagination in the classroom and being encouraged by the teacher. If this happens, students ... the key to students understanding boring information that they think they'll never use again in their life.

I really appreciated the fact that he cared the that much. My art teacher Mrs. Lenher was like that. She was a very nice person and every one in the school knew it, even the other teachers. When ever I had a problem she would take time out of her very busy day to help. I remember last fall one of my friend was in trouble ... letting him keep running from the law. With out Mrs. Lenher's help I would still feel guilty. She was also their for me when I was trying to win a scholarship to an art school in Pittsburgh. I remember she stayed up very late one night to write a letter of recommendation for me. She called me on the phone around 10:00 o'clock that night to tell ...

- By: Anonymous VIOLENCE ON TV What has the world come to these days? It often seems like everywhere one looks, violence rears its ugly head. We see it in the streets, back alleys, school, and even at home. The last of these is a major source of violence. In many peoples' living rooms there sits an outlet for violence that often goes unnoticed. It is the television, and the ... viewer into a hypnotized nonthinker (Langone 48). As you can see, television violence can disrupt a child's learning and thinking ability which will cause life long problems. If a child cannot do well in school, his or her whole future is at stake.

- 1940: What Is History?
- ... make it look good on paper, if you will. History books retell what happened, politically and often socially, so we can understand where we come from and where we are headed. For years in grade school and in high school you were to read your history books as if they were the truth. Now in college I have come to the understanding that what lies in the books are only words. These words may help understand what went on in the past, but they can not be exact.
