This geographical location in the city and the newly instituted uniform and zero-tolerance policies allowed the staff of the school district to unfairly punish the entire student body as they wished, for the most minor of infractions, in order to maintain strict control over the children. An example of this would be the 'light out lunches', wherein a group of some three hundred fifth and sixth graders would be forced to eat lunch in a room twice the width and height of a standard barn without overheard lights, music, speaking, and the company of their friends and classmates. Another example would be the cancellation of an already meager recess and the replacement of that with staying (sitting) at your desk for five minutes without moving your legs while performing arm circles. Also, the removal of trips to the school library for all classes. These practices, like some of the punitive social controls in Oakland, were used in theory to punish and correct negative behavior. However, like in Oakland, they primarily just punished the innocent and rarely corrected unacceptable

In a school called Noble Street College Prep they have decided to go with a policy that punishes students for bad behavior. I would prefer this way of discipline. I would like to argue that this is a better policy to use. While the reward policy my work, I believe that KMS should use the punishment policy because it helps with the students academics, helps students concentrate in class, and lastly it teaches kids to have manners.

Anaheim High School expects students to do homework , go to school early and most of all be respectful to all students with no excuses however It is not easy to do homework after school or later that day. Events happen to a student which he/she might not have time to do the work and goes the same for the rest of the reasons as well.

A fellow classmate has this to say “ the guidance counselors don’t do their jobs” evidence supporting this quote is the fellow classmate has been trying to join APACS for a while but could not because they have told her no now , a year later they accepted her into APACS.Seems they only accept certain people in which is unfair to those who try to pass their classes but need APACS to recover remaining credits and a lot of it while they accept those who only miss for example like 5 and say “ We want all our students to graduate “ , Hardly the case. Especially

For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these

In Anaheim Schools, school days aren’t long enough for students to learn the material they’re supposed to know, therefore many fail their classes. Anaheim High Schools also don’t have many programs like homework club that help students succeed in their classes so they can graduate, unlike KIPP Schools that make students that need extra help stay after school. In order to increase student success at Anaheim schools, the school days should be longer and have more days. Students should also be able to get help in programs especially in math which is what most students struggle with. In the essay “Marita’s Bargain”, Malcolm Gladwell states “that’s the value of going to school 243 days a year. You have time to learn everything that needs to be learned

The first year round school was established in 1904 in Bluffton, Indiana (Glines, 2002). Year round education is described as a “calendar modification that requires students to begin school earlier and end later than normal, with the lost summer vacation redistributed in blocks throughout the year” (Glines, 2002, 2698). It is important to note that year round schools have the same number of days in a calendar year as does the traditional school year. However, the days are distributed throughout the year. Year round schools differ from traditional schools in a variety of ways.

I recently moved to Leesville, Louisiana from Park City, Utah. The college I was attending in Utah, Salt Lake Community College (SLCC), has a much different campus environment than the Northwestern State University (NSU) campus at Leesville. The average enrolled student body of SLCC is around 60,000 each semester. This semester, there are currently 248 students attending the Leesville NSU campus. That’s a big difference.

The root cause of most of the problems in the Mid-Valley School District in the 1970s was the terrible condition of the school buildings. This came to a head when two of the buildings were condemned. The state closed the schools, and told the school district to deal with it. The junior high school students and senior high school students attended classes on split sessions. Classroom instruction time was reduced by almost one-third during the year-and-a-half crisis.

Take a second to remember your last Thanksgiving break of high school, senior year and midterms are coming up soon. Tuesday, November 22, 2016 is a day I will never forget, only two days before the day that was dedicated to being thankful for everything in your life. On this day one of my very best friends was taken from me. Though this tragic event created a huge obstacle for many of us, we knew that we needed to get through it together as a school and most importantly as a community. Many of the students and faculty in my school were very close to her and for some, this was a time that classes were being missed and that their grades were dropping due to not being able to take the stress. Administration soon realized

Currently we are having core classes on both A and B days which switch throughout the week. The students are having core classes on both days and some electives through the mix of their classes. The new option includes nine week quarters with a three week break immediately following the end of the quarter. School would start in the same month of September and would go into July.

After further questioning you learn she is strictly following the fl uid and salt restriction ordered during

The overall logistics run much smoother in schools that have four day weeks compared to the five day week. “Some districts had experienced a decline in dropout rates, decreased disciplinary referrals, improved attendance, fewer class interruptions, more positive attitudes about school, and better staff development” (Yarbrough and Gilman 81). Another logistical benefit to having four day school week is that students have more time to get involved in extracurricular activities due to more availability
