- 2071: History 2
- ... is. I wish when I was younger that I could have appreciated history more. I also believe that history is repeats itself many times but people just do not realize that. Especially throughout my high school years I always thought that history was tiresome. Throughout high school I always considered history as just a subject that was required to graduate. One summer I took world history at a junior college. I didn't want to take it but I needed it to graduate high school. I found the teacher very interesting but the facts and events that he presented were very boring. The teacher especially talked about various people who made a difference in America and tried to gain ...
- 2072: Personal Writing: My First Impression of My Teacher Miss Vicki
- ... was a highly authorative figure towering over me. Her voice boomed and the earth shook whenever she marched. She seemed like such an unapproachable and distant person. That was in the first year of High School. She was my Literature teacher then. During my first year in school, she struck terror in my heart. And everyone else's of course. The mere mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent. The birds stopped screeching. Even the earth felt still. The omniscent ... to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would participate in a voluntary teaching programme for the poor. We did not know what to think actually. All of us cried at the airport. Back at school, we got another teacher for English lessons. But that is another story altogether...
- 2073: Bilingual Education
- ... not succeed in all-English classrooms (Cummins, 1981). Time is needed for development, which is just not offered with English immersion. I was in a class with three Hispanic immigrants while I was in high school. They knew no English and were forced to adapt to the all-English environment through English immersion. The classes were difficult for English speaking students let alone students who didn t understand what was going ... the teacher felt it was the best thing for them. We need to realize that these non-English speaking students and other like them who go through the English immersion program will graduate from high school by the mercy of teachers and will not be prepared to be successful in the so-called real world . This leads me to statistics that further the notion that late exit bilingual education is more ... is clear to see that the English immersion program is not the way to go, but rather late exit bilingual education. If public schools want to prepare the minority student for the world after high school they need to use late exit bilingual education and give them the best chance to succeed while at the same time allowing them to keep there cultural and native language. It is clear that ...
- 2074: He Got Game - Cinematography And Film Techniques
- ... a father and his son. In this film the father, Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington), is serving time in prison for murdering his wife.

The governor, being an avid basketball fan, has made a deal with Jake that will curtail his sentence if he can convince his son to go to the governor's alma mater, Big ... single out those events as significant in terms of plot development. Showing similar scenes is used in several other places in the film as well. When Jesus reprimands his little sister about giving up on school, he grabs her by both shoulders and shakes her around saying, "If you ever say that again, I'll kill you myself." This is clearly a reference to the scene where Jake shakes Jesus by ... volume in two scenes. The first occurs when Jake has just gotten out of prison and covertly checks into a sleazy hotel. The second is the scene where he attacks D'Andre outside of the school and walks around the city streets getting drunk and roughing up his nephew Booger. Whenever Jake and Jesus meet, there is a moment when the music stops. These moments usually have very faint, ambient ...
- 2075: Ben Franklin 2
- ... 1700. He was the fifteenth child in a family of seventeen children. His parents, Josiah and Abiah Franklin, were hard working, devout Puritan Calvinists. Since the Franklins were so poor, Benjamin could not go to school for more than two years. He began an apprenticeship in his brother James's printing shop. James was the printer for a Boston newspaper, so Ben not only learned how to print but he read ... a civic leader. He organized Junto, a club of aspiring tradesmen. He led the club in sponsoring civic improvements such as a library, fire insurance, a college, hospitals, and more. He started the first public school system in Philadelphia. This was important because this meant everyone could learn. Perhaps this was his way to give to people what he couldn't have, since he could only afford to go to school for two years. Franklin made effective proposals for a militia. The proposals were for paving, cleaning, and lighting the streets, as well as for a night watch to keep the city safe. His belief ...
- 2076: As A Technology, It Is Called Multimedia
- ... the education arena. From pre-schoolers to college students, learning adapting to this multimedia craze was not hard to do. Teachers and Professors alike share in this technology to plan out their curricular schedules and school calendar. Most will agree that classroom computers seem to have a positive effect on students of the 90's. As schools and universities become more technology driven, there will be an even bigger plea for ... the number of computers used in U.S. elementary and secondary schools increased from under 100,000 to over 2.5 million. A majority of students now use computers and computer software sometime during the school-year, either to learn about computers or as a tool for learning other subjects. By the end of the decade, the typical school had 1 computer per 20 students, a ration that computer educators feel is still not high enough to affect classroom learning as much as books and classroom conversion do.
- 2077: Women's Freedom and Control
- ... act or talk a certain way, it was almost a law and the way of being. Women haven't had any freedom almost since the beginning of time and they finally were able to attend school many years later. Now women have equal rights with the men. Along the years, women's rights have ranged from slim, to some, and then ranged to many. When someone mentions cavemen, a mental picture ... finally gained a little freedom and control when the government was first developed in 1776. After learning only how to cook and clean in the home by their mothers, the young girls began to attend school and learned how to use the proper English and mathematics skills. This gave more women a greater opportunity and to have an open mind in the public. Today women have many rights and a very ... amazing thing is that they were raised to think and act the way they did, boiling, dusting, and knowing what to start doing next. When a young woman gets in trouble in the home or school, they always think about their freedom. Most do not think about how lucky they are to have as many rights as they do now even with their current rules. They should probably think about ...

However, this undertaking turned out to be an enormous task and Golding never did complete it. After finishing secondary school, Golding went to college. He studied reading and literature. When World War II started in 1939, Golding enlisted in the British Royal Navy. He was first involved in antisubmarine and antiaircraft operations. In 1944 he ... his enlistment.

- 2079: Lives Of The Saints
- ... doors and discover the truth, but perhaps they are overlooking the key to the lock… our children. Vittorio Innocente is a young boy who has not always lived up to his name. ‘My attendance at school had not been very regular-it had somehow fallen out that I’d spent much of class time wandering up to the top of Colle di Papa or down to the river with my friend ... filched from his father.

- 2080: Study on Juvenile Psychopaths
- ... United States are living in fatherless homes - this adds up to 19 million children without fathers. Compared to children in two parent family homes, these children will be twice as likely to drop out of school, twice as likely to have children out of wedlock, and they stand more than three times the chance of ending up in poverty, and almost ten times more likely to commit violent crime and ending ... doing the violent crimes are more impulsively violent and remorseless than ever. For instance, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham who sits on the Council on Crime in America, speaks of the frightening reality of elementary school kids who pack guns instead of lunches. Likewise, Dan Coburn, a former Superior Court Justice and Public Defender in New Jersey, recently wrote that "This new wrote horde from hell kills, maims, and terrorizes merely ... least one of his parents also has an arrest history.
