Every day a student Newspaper may be getting disbanded because of schools and students are silenced,Freedom of student expression is needed and should be allowed, because without freedom of expression students are pretty much bare of rights. Now people could agree and say “well what about the waste of money and resources that it may be?” This could easily be paired back by pointing out the fact that it allows students to discuss serious issues that could be occurring in the school,It allows Students to teach others about issues that are occurring around the world like terrorism, and it teaches Student's responsibility and Hard work. Many times in school there could be all sorts of issues, Bullying,Severe discipline, and even school budget cuts. These issues are not noticed by the public eye unless they are addressed. With a student Newspaper, that issue can be shown through the school newspaper, which is distributed to every student in the school.This could help parents or other adults notice the issues the school may be facing. Along with this it can help oblivious students who only think for themselves can be shown what's going on in the school. Students who are willing to help fix or do things like host clubs for the school and that club can be beneficial such as a club which works to help clean the school or help to raise Money for the schools. …show more content…

  • Censorship in schools

    1378 Words  | 3 Pages

    While students have First Amendment rights, there are still some things that the school is allowed to control. Censorship in school is important because it can minimize distractions and other behavioral problems. It also gives parents peace of mind and students the feeling of security. It is also important for a student to be able to express themselves. People express themselves in different ways, and they have the constitutional right to do so whether they’re on school grounds or not. Censorship is a very controversial issue and should not be taken lightly. There are many things to consider when censoring, and it’s important to have balance between censorship and freedom in schools.

    ... the established case law because of the schools ability to limit those freedoms. When looking at restricting or granting student or group speech administrators must be consistent, because allowing one student or group to expression their First Amendment right opens a door for other student or groups that can be difficult to close. The institution should have clear policies that designate Public Forums, Designated Public Forums, Limited Public Forums, and Non-public Forms. Furthermore, a policy should be created explaining a student’s rights with procedures for a student to redress grievances. Beyond the established policies, administers must be aware of (and have training in) student rights, but should also understand the breadth of power public institutions have to restrict those freedoms when the expression of those freedoms would cause disruption to the school.

  • Unit 2 Research Simulation Task: Chaos In The School

    Why would someone decide to go against school board decisions? By having symbolic protests, there would be less disruptions and less chaos. Usually what people think of when they hear protests is chaos, fire, and violence. Now if the students would’ve chose to have a protest with signs and chaos, that would’ve been a bigger problem. When the kids chose to go against the school board, they hurt themselves because when you go against adults in a school you could never win because they have the more power. If the kids wanted to be smart about the protest, they would’ve conducted it more silent and wouldn't even let the school board find out about it.

  • The Importance of Freedom of Speech in College

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the two videos provided by FIRE, certain situations where students’ basic rights were violated were shown. In the first video presented by FIRE, I was very surprised to learn that some colleges opt to control what you wear, what you post on Facebook or what you say. Instead of educating young adults, it appears that colleges nowadays are trying to babysit them in every dimension of life, including their personal online social life. One example that prominently stood out to me was Hayden Barnes’ story, in video two. Hayden Barnes found himself in deep trouble with the school when he decided to speak out against an overpriced project that the school had decided to complete, by using student fees. This situation shows exactly why organizations like FIRE are needed. Students in certain schools have little to no verbal opinion on what happens at their school. There are certain things you’re allowed to say, and certain things that you are not allowed to say. Whatever happened to freedom of speech and does it exist on college campuses?

  • Chicago Public School Budget Review:FY2014

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Chicago Public School District is the third largest school district in the United States educating around 400,000 students. Back in 1987 CPS was named “the worst in the nation”(). Moving its way up to the top, since then, CPS had completely rebuilt its structure, appointing leaders and reformed ideas. Now, with a deficit projected to be around $1 billion CPS is headed back in a downwards path, money being the biggest issue. The United States Federal Government already has financial issues of its own, which makes dealing with a CPS budget a problem within a problem. CPS, with a $6.6 billion FY2013 budget, is now taking a new strategy based upon a flawed “Student-Based Budgeting System”. The Board of Education is also struggling to solve the debt they have reached, and with their FY2014 plans this year’s budget book is argued to be “one of the most poorly written budgets”(). The way CPS is handling their budget is not benefiting the lives and education of students and is leaving CPS at a loss with giant financial issues.

  • School Budget Reflection

    747 Words  | 2 Pages

    I learned a few things about my school and myself in regards to this area of leadership by participating in this activity. I learned that my school asks for very little participation from the teachers and community in regards to the budgeting process. But it could be an excellent venue to review prior year accomplishments as well as decide on future objectives with these stakeholders. If I were an administrator, involving the community and faculty would not only help in maintaining awareness, but I could also use this as a way to help those who may not be directly vested in my school, but who are helping fund it through their taxes, recognize effective administration in our efforts to reduce costs and provide needed resources to the various programs. I also feel that budget decisions cannot be solely programmatic or solely monetary. There needs
