Distinction between the zoning categories is their capacity to host multiple households. Apartments have the most capacity, whereas residential detached properties have the least. Traditionally, (RD) has been designed to host single families. Properties on these sites may include granny suites and backdoor entrances into the basement, however, they were not intended to facilitate renting to non-family tenants. This is illustrated in 1999, where in response to low vacancy rates, City council adopted a motion to lift the tenant ban by applying Official Plan and zoning by-law amendments which permits tenantable second suites in single and semi-detached houses throughout the City (City of Toronto, 1999). Criticism of this motion by councilors and …show more content…
One case study is TDSB school closures and schools under review. In Toronto, 105 of the Toronto District School Board schools are under review due to having enrollment at 65% or under. This is directly related to population changes. This is illustrated in Map 4 of the Appendix.
Schools are more likely to have low enrolment in neighbourhoods where the population has decreased, or increased by fewer than 1 person per km2. This has negative effects on the learning outcome of students. They experience lack of stability, fewer course offerings and programming. For example, Kipling Collegiate has an enrollment of 47% and is in a neighbourhood where the population density has decreased. Here, low enrollment has resulted in teachers leaving yearly, and a lack of course offerings including the absence of grade 11 and 12 French. In 2017, the Board of Trustees approved a Pupil Accommodation Review as the school may close (Toronto District School Board, 2017). A closure would directly impact equity within the neighbourhood, by requiring longer travel times for certain students to arrive at school. The closure would also decrease the attractiveness of the community to families with

Thomas Jefferson was a man who believed that all American citizens need to be educated so that they may exercise their rights. He saw public education as essential to a democracy. One proposal he made for public education would guarantee that all children could attend public schools for three years. However, much like other early school reforms, this proposal received much rejection and was never brought into being. Despite this rejection, Jefferson still believed that America needed public education. Eventually, he opened the University of Virginia. Even though his bills and proposals to benefit public education never saw the light of day, he still made many contributions to public education by providing the foundation on how a democracy should handle educating its
In the Late nineteenth century the population was growing at a rapid pace. The country had people flooding the biggest cities in the country such as New York City and Chicago. These populations were gaining more and more people every single year and the country has to do something to make places for these people to live. The government would go on to create urban housing programs. These programs were created to make homes for these people to live in. At the time it provided a place for people to live but as the populations grew it became a more cramped and rundown area because of the large populations in one place. These reforms eventually led to these areas becoming dangerous, they were rundown, and it created a hole that was difficult for people to get out of.
During the 19th century the Canadian government established residential schools under the claim that Aboriginal culture is hindering them from becoming functional members of society. It was stated that the children will have a better chance of success once they have been Christianised and assimilated into the mainstream Canadian culture. (CBC, 2014) In the film Education as We See It, some Aboriginals were interviewed about their own experiences in residential schools. When examining the general topic of the film, conflict theory is the best paradigm that will assist in understanding the social implications of residential schools. The film can also be illustrated by many sociological concepts such as agents of socialization, class inequality, and language as a cultural realm.
The rezoning of 125th street has been a topic of controversy and has yet to be approved. The Department of City Planning believes rezoning of 125th street will bring positive economic changes. I personally believe that these changes would negatively affect the residents and business owners of Harlem. According to the New York City’s Planning Commission, the rezoning will bring new business and housing. Residents and business owners disagree because they believe this plays a bigger role in promoting further “gentrification.” I believe that Harlem should be able to keep its cultural heritage while still promoting and modifying economic growth.
"Compressed emotions," that is the explanation a teacher once gave to the ongoing question, "What is poetry?" He said it was someone's deepest emotions, as if you were reading them right out of that person's mind, which in that case would not consist of any words at all. If someone tells you a story, it is usually like a shell. Rarely are all of the deepest and most personal emotions revealed effectively. A poem of that story would be like the inside of the shell. It personifies situations, and symbolizes and compares emotions with other things in life. Louise Erdrich's poem Indian Boarding School puts the emotions of a person or group of people in a setting around a railroad track. The feelings experienced are compared to things from the setting, which takes on human characteristics.
East Brooklyn Community High School is a small transfer school located in Brownsville. The school has a small staff and a small population of students compared to most high schools in New York City. The history department has four teacher, Ron the Global Europe and Global Asia teacher, Ariela the Global Middle East, Global Latin America and Caribbean and Economics teacher, Jimmy the SPED teacher who helps out in all the history classes and myself Dominique the US History and Government teacher.

As a department, we observe each other classes to learn different strategies of teaching content and literacy.
IV. PROVISIONALLY ACCOMMODATED (homeless but in hospitals, prison or interim housing) – 4,464”[End Homelessness in America 2012 Website, 2012].This is a large subculture filled with underprivileged people. Many of these 30,000 individuals are left unsheltered and unaided every day. “Recent data from a March 2013 Ipsos Reid poll suggests that as many as 1.3 million Canadians have experienced homelessness or extremely insecure housing at some point during the past five years.”[End Homelessness in America 2012 Website, 2012]. In addition to this government policies have often benefited the few but complicated problems for others. Low income housing is often torn down to build up higher income housing and these low income individuals are left shelterless.

With people moving in the cities, overcrowdedness has become a major issue for the public city school system. People often thought of cities as places paved with gold and opportunities, occupied by diverse groups. Everyone comes from different parts of the world chasing after its glamour and freedom.

In the article, Why boarding schools produce bad leaders by Nick Duffell, Duffell describes the linkage between the educational background of boarding school and the outcome of being an inadequate leader. Many boarding school educated people go on to ivy-league colleges and a significant number of them then pursue leadership positions in politics. Duffell is a psychotherapist that works with previous students of boarding schools. He argues that attending boarding schools turns children into adults that hector and have child-like qualities due to the fact that boarding schools force children to act as adults too quickly. In addition to this environment that encourages pseudo-development, children also lack the ability to be themselves or express
