- 231: Time Makes A Big Difference
- Time Makes A Big Difference Have you ever looked around your class and seen someone sleeping? If you have, you're not the only one. School starts so early, that kids don't have optimal performance during the day. Also, school lasts so long, that kids get restless by the end of the day. As students of Elmbrook Middle School, we don't have any time to complete our homework either. In my opinion, school should start at 10:00AM and end at 2:00PM. I think the biggest problem that our school faces ...
- 232: The Life and Work of Ronald Dahl
- ... the annual journeys to Norway did not cease, Dahl embarked upon a new phase of his life: formal schooling. The commencement of this "awful process" of the boy's civilization began at Elmtree House, a school located in Llandaff, the small village the Dahls moved to after Harald's death. The institution was Welsh, not English, though; Sofie Dahl felt that she wasn't quite ready yet to move to England with a brood of small children (Howard 1). After a year at Elmtree House, Dahl's mother decided the time had come for him to go to a "proper boy's school," (Dahl, Boy 27) and enrolled him in Llandaff Cathedral School, a preparatory school under the auspices of Llandaff cathedral, at the age of seven. Dahl's days at Llandaff would have been rather unremarkable if not for the presence of a candy shop on ...

- ... goal. This is because in America there are so many ways to achieve one's dream.

- ... day, yet we punish adults for taking speed," stated a concerned parent(Ritalin Zone). A trip to the principal's office used to mean big trouble. These days, more kids are showing up in the school office just to get their midday dose of Ritalin. Ritalin, the drug used to treat hyperactivity in children, is being seized on by a generation worried about controlling inappropriate behavior. But some doctors think Ritalin is being prescribed to children who are simply having trouble in school. The numbers suggest they have good reason to worry. The number of prescriptions for Ritalin increased four-fold from 1990 to 1995, making the stimulant one of the most prescribed drugs in the country. No ... s behind the surge in Ritalin use, but experts speculate it's due to everything from increased awareness of attention disorders in schools to teachers and parents becoming less tolerant of unruly behavior.

- 236: The Incident At Columbine And The Media's Effect On Children
- ... Media's Effect On Children As our children return to the nation's schools over the next few weeks, I am increasingly concerned that some in the media may exaggerate or overdramatize the issue of school violence at the expense of the best interests of students, teachers and parents. Columbine High School, which had to endure its own searing moment of national attention several months ago, is already under a new media siege as the young people in Littleton, Colo., prepare to go back to school tomorrow. Clearly, the tragedy at Columbine and the other multiple shootings in our schools over the past two years are newsworthy and deserve our full attention. But as young people prepare to go back ...
