factor in the final decision. This quantitative method helps determine the best solution for the organization to meet its goals and objectives. The alternative that will garner the most public support is the 2 percent sales tax increase on selective goods and services, such as cigarettes and alcohol. This action will impact fewer citizens and today’s culture highlights healthier living. Implementation of Alternative This summarizes what the Pelham City Council and school board can adopt to prevent children in the northeast subdivisions being “bused” an hour from their homes while simultaneously ensuring Pelham’s schools have the funds to guarantee financial sustainability in their schools. An implementation plan monitors effectiveness. However,
The American public school system faces an education crisis. According to Benjamin Barber, American children barely surpass the lowest standards set for education, especially in literacy, throughout the county’s history. Barber supports the existence of this crisis in his essay “America Skips School”, but argues against a solution to remedy the numerous problems facing the system. Although he acknowledges no solution, Barber suggests a smarter flow of financial resources will address many of the issues, however, he fails to acknowledge the distribution of this money. Barber’s suggestion for smarter financial resources for schools can be effectively implemented through a structured committee focused solely on the distribution of money.
In Tim Seibles' poem, The Case, he reviews the problematic situations of how white people are naturally born with an unfair privilege. Throughout the poem, he goes into detail about how colored people become uncomfortable when they realize that their skin color is different. Not only does it affect them in an everyday aspect, but also in emotional ways as well. He starts off with stating how white people are beautiful and continues on with how people enjoy their presence. Then he transitions into how people of color actually feel when they encounter a white person. After, he ends with the accusation of the white people in today's world that are still racist and hateful towards people of color.

The case that my team has chosen is the case of Earls v. the Board of Education of Tecumseh public school. The amendment that this case was associated with was the Fourth Amendment. A brief explanation of what the Fourth Amendment states is that the government cannot execute unreasonable searches and or seizures, and to be searched or seized it must be supported by a warrant with a probable cause. The plaintiff of this case was Lindsay Earls, was suing the Board of Education of Tecumseh public school because she felt that drug testing the students of her school was a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Furthermore, the proposition states many beneficial outcomes due to it being passed but never do they address any negative outcomes due to it. All of this is done with the right use of word which appeals to the reader’s emotions causing one to vote with their feelings and not their knowledge. What is being stated in the proposition are only things to sway a voter into voting for it. For instance, it talks about how with the money being saved from having fewer inmates in prison will be redirected towards bettering higher education by purchasing learning devices, books, and other material. With this being said, it is obvious that the intended voters are parents of adolescents. The reason being is that parents are the most vulnerable in this
Here I sit, in this chronically divided school board meeting, listening to the heated debate about the busing in our troubled school district—particularly in regards to Rio Bueno High School (RBHS). Busing may seem like not such a big issue when you first hear its topic; however, it is much like a melting ice burg exposing its web of issues as its perpetual underbelly reaches the surface. As a guidance counselor here at RBHS, I can tell you that, this busing, desegregation bussing to be more specific, has been a way of integrating other races into school since the Supreme Court Decision in Brown v. Board of Education 40 years ago. Since the 1980’s, segregation levels have increased such that urban schools are now more racially imbalanced than they were prior to the Supreme Court’s 1971 Swann v. Charlotte-Meckelburg Board of Education decision, which legitimated the use of bussing to integrate city school districts with significant residential segregation. Moreover, the gap between Black and White achievement levels, which narrowed from the early 1970s until the late 1980s, has increased during the early 1990s (Douglas, 1996) So, with this evidence, it may seem that even with the implementation of the desegregation busing system, the achievement gap is still growing between races, particularly between Black and Whites and the financial situation and the performance of the schools in this district as a whole are declining.
Urban schools in New York City have been criticized for many failures in the last past years. Failures such as low achievement, disconnection between students and teachers, poor teaching methods, inappropriate conduct, lack of security, and lack of motivation from students as well as from teachers. To improve these issues, few changes have been implemented such as the metal detectors. The effectiveness of these changes is been questioned. But the best way to see the effectiveness, it’s by looking at the school’s progress. Most schools are still failing, which clearly means that the new methods are not working out. These unsuccessful adjustments lead to a possibility for a reform in the school system. The reform would have to consider changes not only from the system itself, but also the areas that surround the school. Therefore, it is not reasonable to expect that urban schools can be reformed without changing the political economy of urban areas. The reasons why it cannot be reformed is because the political economy determines the amount of resources available, generate a lot of violence, and creates teenagers who will be pursued to the “code of the streets”. When it comes to change, it always works better starting from the outside to the
The gap between the nation’s best and worst public schools continues to grow. Our country is based on freedom and equality for all, yet in practice and in the spectrum of education this is rarely the case. We do not even have to step further than our own city and its public school system, which many media outlets have labeled “dysfunctional” and “in shambles.” At the same time, Montgomery County, located just northwest of the District in suburban Maryland, stands as one of the top school systems in the country. Within each of these systems, there are schools that excel and there are schools that consistently measure below average. Money alone can not erase this gap. While increased spending may help, the real problem is often rooted in the complex issues of social, cultural, and economic differences. When combined with factors involving the school itself and the institution that supports it, we arrive at what has been widely known as the divide between the suburban and urban schools. Can anything actually be done to reverse this apparent trend of inequality or are the outside factors too powerful to change?
From the information collected it is apparent that racial divisions are still present within our society and have serious negative effects. While schools have become “desegregated” since the Brown v Board of education decision, the data shows there are still racial divides within the community and public education. Barrington is a white upper class city that remains dominantly white while Providence is a racially diverse lower-class city with a working class population. Over the years the racial makeup has stayed relatively the same. This lack of residential integration can also explain the education gap between whites and racial-ethnic minorities. Barrington is able to offer a higher quality education because the population of the city has a larger average income, which means there is a larger taxable bases for the school to collect funds from. Meanwhile, Hope High School is located in a lower class city where school funding is much more limited, meaning they don’t have the necessary funds to provide a high quality education. The minority groups end up receiving a worse education than the white majority. The solution to this problem
The Newham Company is a publicly traded company that recently has had a change in executive management due to an inappropriate bonus structure based on company performance. As this type of bonus structure often leads to material misstatement of facts resulting in falsified financial reports, the new management at Newham has commissioned SNHU INC. to conduct an audit which assesses their risk of misstatement. The audit to follow will be broken down into three parts: Overall business risk, sample audit plan and a report of recommendations based audit results.
School funding has always been a debatable topic. Although school funding needs to be increased, there is no proof of academic achievement (Hanushek). Academic researchers have sought to answer the questions of whether education expenditures are correlated with student performance(Hanushek). Hanushek has found that there is no proof of academic achievement towards funding the schools(Hanushek). It depends on how the money is spent, not on how much money is spent(Hanushek). “ There are so many areas of education that require money(Shanker).” When you are able to reduce the size of a classroom you allow the teacher the opportunity to give additional help by spending more time with each individual student(Shanker). Also, higher teacher salaries are very important when it comes to having the best teachers(Shanker). Studies show that raising the city’s basic per-pupil allocation from $9,306 to $11,608 will provide better technology and better teachers(Brown). Smaller classroom size and better teachers have a positive effect ...
As we know, school choice is a very complex issue. It involves state or federal authorities, finance and budgets, teachers, students, parents, communities, school resources...etc. Besides, it is also very disputant in the United States. However, although it looks like a very tough task to set the program into action, it really works in Vermont and that is my ideal choice program, too.
