Parents are dissatisfied with the current system of school education because parents argue that girls suffer from the aggressive behavior of children of the opposite sex.

Giving them alternative exams is one of the strategies. However, this is not enough. Many more strategies should be employed. This is what this paper discusses.

“Art is necessity-an essential part of our enlightenment process. We cannot, as civilized society, regard ourselves as being enlightened without the arts”: a divine thought by Ken Danby clearly expresses the importance of arts in an individual’s life. Art teaches an individual to express himself. It allows the amalgamation of thoughts with imagination to reveal the actual desire of a being and allows oneto portrayhis/her emotions. It allows one to bring down his each expression on a 12x12 canvas simply with a brush in his hand. However, Academic knowledge imbibed in school has its own importance in a student’s life ...

The articles “The Reluctant Hunter” and “Serve or Fail” propose two different topics, but both share the same conviction—show respect for something to appreciate it. Basing from the arguments presented by both authors, I think they both have their points that warrants one’s favour, but then again both have their flaws. Nickola has a point that killing animals should not be done out of sheer fun, adrenalin rush or as a game. It deserves a meaningful purpose. However, not because we buy our food from the grocery and we do not use our hands to slaughter the animal does not ...

Education, from the perspective of an elementary right of every individual in the present scenario, is a liberating force to render confidence, human values, integrity of character, equality, happiness, and peacefulness. Though it is a significant fact for all of us, the role of grooming and teaching a child plays a key role in the global democratization of education. So, every child should have the fundamental right to access of education. And, in this direction, many countries of the world have made it obligatory too. So, when a child is sent for schooling, he/she goes into an environment which is diverse in culture, language, ...

The social factors usually include the environment, movement in the society, interaction with different communities just to mention a ...

Tips for time management for adult learners include making schedules and prioritizing homework.

Abstract

Post the global economic recession of 2009, the government announced budget cuts across states. This placed great pressure on public schools to save costs in order to continue functioning. One of the cost saving measures employed by schools in several districts of the United States was to make cuts in the school. While this measure surely saves schools a lot of immediate costs, it needs to be evaluated what kind of an impact such a measure would have in the long run, especially with concerns being raised about the quality of education being provided in a shorter school year.

Much concentration has been centred on the educational attainment of students, in this era of standards-based learning reorganization. With the hustle to accomplishment testing, learning institutions could have lost track of the 25 - 30 percent dropout rate over the past decades (Barton, 2002). Barton illustrated that many scholars, both graduates and dropouts, are lacking career development proficiencies as they penetrate the labour market or change to post-secondary learning (2002). In a survey of high school psychoanalysts’ career improvement proficiencies, Barker and Satcher (2000) established that they were inclined to ignore the requirement of implementing career improvement programs, ensuing in ...
