Introduction of Topic and How It Relates to Education

It is widely acknowledged that the educational process is very important for community improvement. A person develops under various circumstances, but there are basic factors which impact every person, no matter how different his/her life is – that is family (first of all, parents and also siblings and relatives) and educational institution (school, college, etc.). The family is the first environment the child is born and develops in. It is the place where a person establishes his psychological, social, physical, mental, and behavioral character. Parents’ influence lays the ground to the majority of future achievements and failures of a child ...

Abstract

Currently, it has been assumed that with the declining prevalence of racism and seemingly reduced rate of bullying in the neighborhood, schools in the United States of America are no longer affected by the negative vices of bullying, whether based on the race, gender or otherwise. In this regard, it is further assumed that the counselors within the schools have the ability to eliminate bullying within the schools. However, there is a very great difference between the reality and the assumptions taken so far. In addition, there are several reports on studies that have been developed with an aim of ...

Introduction

Parents who work often think about what activities they can allow their children to participate in, especially if the activity will occur after school hours. Most of them are looking for programs that can help their children academically, while some parents prefer that their children join these activities to keep them off the streets while they, the parents, are away. Many students from disadvantaged families or environments do not have the opportunities of experiencing activities that would help stimulate their emotional and intellectual development. As a result, these children end up either lacking in knowledge or becoming street-smart kids who ...

Campus Violence and Policies of Primary and Secondary Schools in Michigan

It is pertinent to note that violence has evolved from just targeting students. It could sometimes involve school staff and even the school administration. The issue of violence and disciplines are often addressed as a unit, but there should be different ways of dealing with both cases because more often than not, violence often overtakes disciplines issues and needs further investigations and probing (School Safety and Violence, 2016). Acts of violence are often common, and they could occur repeatedly. Despite the severity of violence, school administrators often ignore them, in some cases, it often goes unreported, hence, increasing the ...

“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate”. Such was the opening assertion of the United States Supreme Court in deciding the landmark case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, decided in 1969. What followed in the constitutional history of what came to be known as “school speech” involves a number of cases that have essentially followed Tinker’s holding, only modifying its nuances and contemplating the ever-changing concern of the state over the welfare of its students and their role ...

While Lightner Witmer has been largely credited with the conceptualization and creation of a separate field of study for school psychology (D’Amato et al., 2011), it has it’s true roots, in many ways, in the creation of the IQ test. The IQ test was pioneered by Alfred Binet who was specifically interested in the standards of the normal mind. Today, the Binet-Simon scale, first generated in 1905, is still used in schools to determine a child’s overall ability to perform certain tasks (Binet & Simon, 1905). Perhaps more significantly, however, it was significant that Binet recognized that ...

The issue of whether or not to institute school uniforms in American public schools is a debate that has been going on for many years. Everyone seems to have an opinion on the topic, and neither side has more convincing arguments than the other for the most part. However, there are significant advantages to instituting the use of school uniforms in American public schools, and these advantages definitely sway the debate towards the use of school uniforms in public schools. In the United States, school uniforms are often associated with private schools, because many public schools do not have the ...

The Reasons Schools Contract Out their Services to Private Companies

The use of contracting services out to specialized service providers is increasing in school districts nationwide. Two of the most frequent areas where this practice occurs are in the custodial and transportation areas. The primary reason that this subcontracting of services is initialed is to save money. Many districts are struggling financially and service providers tout a huge savings while saving the school district’s administrative and other headaches in the process.
Relieving some of the headaches from administrators might sound well and good, but in truth, however, that in some cases, the subcontracting of services does save school ...

Moreover, hospital costs associated with the treatment of obesity are dramatically high. Besides, being obese can set back children psychosocial status. In ...

The graduation rate for Hispanic students has risen, but the dropout rate for Hispanic students is still the highest among their African-American, Asian, and White peers. This results in too few Hispanics enrolling in college or other higher education programs, which segues into low employment rates and a higher level of poverty within Hispanic families. Hispanics are the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the United States today. Hispanic children are an important part of America’s future. Taking into account their growing numbers, they are going to become a crucial part of the work force once they reach adulthood. They are going ...

The issue of school uniforms is hotly debated in the American school system where there are some opponents and proponents to the issue. Of course, both sides have their reasons as to why they are inclined towards a given direction, and can justify their ideas. Most of the opponents to the issue are of the idea that school uniforms annihilate the rights of the students to express themselves the way they want to in terms of dressing. Well, the proponents also have their ideas over the issue and why they feel that the children should wear uniforms. Since the issue ...

Episodes of aggressive reprisal by casualties of bullying have initiated an augmented alertness of the predicament of bullying within the preceding few years. Whilst bullying is frequently disregarded, a huge number of youths especially scholars testify of having been bullied through school. Therefore, Bullying is a grave menace that might have harmful psychosomatic consequences on individuals for example inferior self-worth, despair, and even suicide. Thus, Bullying impediment schemes are a community-wide attempt based on institutions as schools intended to convey significance that bullying will not be acknowledged in school and any other place. Ingenious and executed programs can generate an enhanced ambience ...

The question of whether or not students caught cyberbullying, even off campus, should face sanctions at school is debatable. A good number of educational institutions already have legislation that regulates the interpersonal relationship among students within and beyond campus. Even so, it is hard to admit it has halted or obliterated online harassment, or cyberbullying. It is safe to say legislation has always been and will forever be an indispensable tool of crime deterrence. The statement does make a lot of sense, but quaere does not it have negative fallouts? American authorities enacted the dry law and legislation prohibiting illegal ...

Introduction

Past research results have indicated diverging views on the same issue. While some studies have found that school drop has no effect on crime and deviant behaviors, others have found out that school dropout has a close relationship with deviant behavior as well criminal activities. Other studies have indicated that students who drop out of school tend to shy away from crime and deviant behavior. Drapela (49) attributes these divergent views and findings to the fact that researchers do not have a common standard upon which they can divide their school drop outs into categories. Different school dropouts’ categorization criteria applied ...

Abstract

The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones, and laptops has introduced a new type of bully on the school block: cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a particularly difficult type of bullying for schools to punish and prevent. This is because most incidents of cyberbullying occur off school grounds. Currently, there is no federal law that specifically addressed cyberbullying. It has been largely left up to the states to define the parameters of cyberbullying and to set forth the corresponding penalties and punishments for such infractions. While some states extend criminal liability for cyberbullying off school grounds, other states limit liability ...

1900 -1915
At the start of the 19th century, American families rely on agriculture for their livelihood in which every member of the family, including the children had to work hard in order to survive. Most of them grew up without proper school or education. Children’s lives were focused around the family farm and helping their parents with the daily chores. Children would go to school only in the months where farms weren’t harvesting or planting which left them with less time for school (Kansas Historical Society, 2013). Too much work often prevented children from attending ...

People used to behave foolishly and make a lot of mistakes during their life. For the most part, three years of Middle school is considered to be exactly such period of time. Middle school is also believed to be a quite dangerous territory. Children unnoticeably transformed into “teenagers”, a new title they are not fully aware of. Some misunderstand this title as the right to admit themselves better than the rest and even humiliate or offend weaker people. On the one hand, due to the maturity, many pupils began to notice considerable differences between people. On the other hand, ...
