- ... can be academic, financial, and personal. Academic stress is common for college students. For many students, going to college is more than just attending classes and taking notes.

The Mahayana school laid the ground for the teaching of Buddhism as it emphasized the use of faith and intuition, but the Dharma Character school was the first to introduce Japan to the concept of structuring the levels of consciousness ( de Bary, 266 ). The Flower Garland school ( Kegan ) was the dominant school of the Nara period, it preached a cosmic harmony presided over by Lochana Buddha, who sits on a lotus of 1000 petals, each of which is a universe containing ...

- 305: Sons And Lovers
- ... Moynahan, p. xiii). At that time, one of the few ways for a poor person to better himself was through education. Lawrences mother Lydia recognized this, and encouraged it in young Lawrence. Lawrence started school at the early age of four, but it proved too much for the child. He was withdrawn from school and did not return until he was seven years old. The fact that he was older than the other children when he reentered school set him apart socially. He had few friends, and instead sought out the company of his younger sister, Ada. Despite Lawrences late start, he did well in school, and became the first pupil ...

These children are the ones that spend their afternoons in crowded after school programs where they may not get the attention the crave. This may lead to isolation and oppositely over hyperactive children starved for attention. In other cases, some children who are not so fortunate as to be offered after-school programs are subject to the world outside all on their own.

- ... very dirty. They were given the oldest and most worn out books and equipment that were available. There weren't even many teachers who were qualified and were willing to teach at an all black school. Even though education was instituted for African Americans, which was a step in the right direction, it was a very small step and still didn't give blacks the education they deserved. This treatment prevailed ... and may even be suspended from the college if charges are filed. This is just one example of the racial prejudice in colleges, even in a small college of 9,000 students. In a larger school the problems are understandably magnified. At Rutgers University in February, the school was racked with controversy. The president of Rutgers, Francis L.

Freedom of speech is constantly being challenged as is evidenced in a recent court case where a Gloucester County school district censored reviews of two R-rated movies from a school newspaper. Superior Court Judge, Robert E. Francis ruled that the student's rights were violated under the state Constitution. I feel this is a major break through for students' rights because it limits editorial control of school newspapers by educators and allows students to print what they feel is important.
