1.2 Working At School
There are many programs at Ryerson that require not only for students to study but to spend an immense amount of time in school to work on their projects. For example:
• Architecture
• Fashion Design
• Interior Design
These assignments are either extremely difficult or cannot be brought home to work on at all. For example, many interior design students require the time and process of creating models of their design. First, the model would be very difficult to bring to and from school especially during rush hour. Models are extremely big and delicate; it would instantly fall apart. Some models require students to work on it in school due to the resources necessary. However, the Toronto Transit Commission often used by students for commute, closes at 1:15am. This

Instead of placing budget on “Frosh Week” or the concerts, this could be more of a practical method in aiding students during their days in school. Surveys can be taken to analyze areas where most students live. Taking in the account of the survey, the university can find several locations to implement the shuttle bus system that run throughout the day and even overnight. This will greatly help students overcome their obstacles of cost. Also, since the program runs through day and night, students are able leave school later than usual and not having to worry about the safety aspect of arriving back home. However, the limitations for this approach is that not all students would have the ability to access this service. This program would be more helpful for areas where many students are living, but for the other fraction of students, their accessibility to access these services would not be as frequent. This service would be required take into the account that it may not be able to reach or frequently go to the areas where small number of students
In all colleges in the United States, students are required to pay for their classes’ tuition either by themselves, their parents, guardians or a scholarship that they may have. The average tuition fee for an individu...
Upon arriving to college, many students face the challenge of finding a community to belong to. I believe the student affairs professionals on campus are the resource to building communities within the student body. Reflecting back on my first semester of college, I found my community within two organizations; Dance Marathon and UI Alumni Association Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow (S.T.A.T.). Within the organizations I met two advisers who opened my eyes to the world of student affairs.
Mrs. Adams is a middle school language teacher in a low-income area of Baltimore and has a student who does not have the means to own a computer or have transportation to a library to complete the given assignment. Mrs. Adams is unaware of the situation and assigns her students homework that requires a computer to watch a DVD and complete pages in a workbook. Mrs. Adams noticed Anna was consistently failing to turn in homework, but did well when completing in-class assignments. Mrs. Adams decided to give Anna detention as a consequence for not turning in homework. Anna felt very embarrassed. Anna chose to work on the homework during the detention and caught up on all the previous assignments. When Mrs. Adams asked why she did not complete the homework on time, but did during detention. Anna explained that she did not own a computer at home and did not have the means to travel to a library due to her parents work schedule. Multiple ethical decisions come into consideration within this scenario. Should Mrs. Adams just assume her students have the means to complete homework that requires technology? Was due process given? What would be a fair alternative now that Mrs. Adams is
Students may need to nap to compensate for energy expended throughout the day. However, if schools were to start later, adolescents would not have to nap, allowing for a larger window of time to spend with their families after school, even with a later start time. Another opposing argument is that students would have less time to participate in extracurricular activities. However, this issue can be resolved by making practices for sports and club meetings shorter and more frequent to accommodate the schedule variation. Overall, the benefits of later start times far outweigh the drawbacks.
With all of these specials offered and a lot of students excited to go enjoy them, the BVU Rides bus is relied heavily on by students heading to the bar. BVU Rides offers free rides from the college campus to Malarkys, the main bar college students go to, every fifteen minutes, from 10:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The bus allows anyone to ride, but the bus only follows a predetermined route, with stops only at the bar and the college. Despite the fact that this is a good way for students to get to and from the bar, some members of the community think the BVU Rides is a program offered by the community that is not needed. Here are some of their ideas and our responses rebutting the citizens’ thoughts:
ride scholarship, it should not be revocable, but instead should be on a yearly basis, this way if an athlete decides to quit, he has one year to get his grades up enough for an
For those students who want a better experience with the college life could be going out-of-state. Some students may want to try a different atmosphere. Those students would need money for textbooks, shopping, gas for their car and other expenses. Students would need things for their dorm room.
Juggling work and school, finding time for having fun, and liking what someone does, these are some of the problems that plague young adults today. If a person that fits those requirements is looking for a little extra income, this writer knows just what the doctor ordered. Working as a waiter is a very fulfilling job, especially for a young adult student. With flexible hours and uniforms, decent pay, and working in a fun atmospherewith many different types of people, being a waiter is an excellent job for a student.
One of the primary motivations for adopting the four-day week is financial savings for the school district. Anticipated savings are in transportation, food and food service workers, hourly workers and utilities. Savings on school buses and long-term building wear and tear have also been reported. After analyzing Colorado schools operating on four-day school weeks, (Dam) reports that transportation costs can be reduced by 20%. He goes on to say that in order to realize that level of savings, schools must severely limit transportation for activities or programs not conducted on regular school days. The capital, insurance, maintenance, and administrative costs remain relatively constant. Fuel, oil, salaries, and supervisory costs can be reduced. Transportation employees will also have a reduction in net pay (Dam, 2006). In food service, (Dam) finds that if districts are funding their food service from the general fund, 20% of that subsidy may be saved since the program runs only four days. However, he does go on to say that certain fixed costs within this category will remain the same. Utility savings, he observes, may be comparable to those of a three-day weekend if the buildings are closed and actually placed on weekend cycle. However, he notes that most school buildings are left open for extra activities and the use of staff (Dam, 2006). (Hewitt and Denny) indicate savings achieved with a four-day school week vary greatly from district to district, depending on the constancy they adhere to cost saving measures. If the school facilities are completely shut down on the non-school day the saving will be greater than if buildings are left open for student and staff use. While financial savings are the main factor motivating the initi...
My daily life challenges is how to coupe with people physically and mentally. I struggle everyday on how to deal with people in general because they can be cruel and unsensentative at times. I work at a middle school where I am in contact with several different personalilities to include the general public. I have to constantly deal with attitudes and the disrespect of parents when I have to in force the rules and the policies of our daily procedures that they do not agree with. Also working with co-workers that on occasions do not want ot speak or communicate. If I do not act or look a certain way, I will be excluded. This is what I consider a “click”. It’s a sad thing when people treat others (disrespectfully) excluding others due to appearance. I feel that age plays a role in the situation because there are many of my co-workers/boss that there is an age gap, which makes things harder to relate on some things and understanding my point of view. I do my best to try to fit in but, its difficult and hurts when people judge who I am. I was told that I have to always be validated, so everyday a co-worker makes remarks saying I better speak to Ms. Haynes cause if not she will be upset. That comment makes me feel a little angry, because its not that way. I just feel that its rude a to look at a person and not speak. Its has also been to me that, I can be parnod about things and do not like to take chances and being cautious. I have never been a person to just do things. I like to get approval or let my boss know what I am doing. I feel that’s common cursity, plus it’s a habit to let the person know if I can not make it to my assigned duty. I can not just assume that its okay but I get the response like it’s the wrong for me to do tha...
It may seem impossible to juggle many things in life at one time; such as trying to get all the assignments completed, and studying done in a short amount of time to make it to work on time. If that was not stressful enough there is also the pressure of making sure to spend time with family. It can be extra stressful when someone has a very big and close family, and a variety of events are to be attended, making sure assignment are completed in order to join the family. Sometimes it may seem that there is simply not enough time in a day to balance school, work, and family which requires a lot of effort, this can seem like a very daunting task because no one ever wants to fail, it is difficult trying to please everyone, and there seems to
There needs to be additional parking on campus made for those visiting the campus and also for students, faculty already has reserved parking; however the limited amount of parking on campus is forcing students and visitors to reserved faculty lots. Our school is limited in funding for certain projects such adding additional parking to solve the parking problem on campus. The student body should take responsibility for the raising of these funds to build additional parking on campus. The rising sophomore class should organize fund raising events to build additional parking on campus.
The ULL bus stop is something students and faculty walk by and use every day. It is a very visible part of ULL and has been looked passed and it is apparent that it has been neglected for years. Our Action Project is focusing on not only adding on to the bus stop, but also the renewal of what is already there. Our project topic is something that is important because the current bus stop does not meet certain needs.
First, allowing private food vendors to rent a space will save students time. For example, students will no longer have to drive to get something to eat, giving them plenty of time to make the next class on time. Also, now that students
It is very common that many high school students hold part time jobs while going to school. When these teens work, they are able to learn and experience life lessons from ethical and moral work. Knowing that school is aways and should be a priority, students should work while in high school because working helps students be more responsible with their lives, help them practice time managment, and also helps students see and experience the real world.
