The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) deals with student achievement standards by holding schools accountable for the achievement of their students (Implementation 11). The NCLBA uses standardized tests to chart the success of students. If students are not meeting standards, the school is required to offer tutoring, which is funded by the state with Title I, the education mandate passed in which granted all public schools access to federal grants, money (No Subject 7). The Act itself is not the problem; the problem is that the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standard which is a big part of the NCLBA is not being met. The AYP standard is not being met because schools are not changing their methods quickly enough. It was said in the NCLBA that schools nationwide were to have 100% proficiency of the AYP standard within 12 years (Implementation 9). Since the passing of the NCLBA in 2001, most public schools, nationwide have not improved at all.
Solutions
There are a number of ways that this problem can be solved. To start, teachers could have to have higher credentials, thus giving them a better understanding of the subject areas in which they teach, and giving the students more and better sources (Facts). Right now teachers are only required to have a bachelor’s degree and be certified to teach, have a teaching certificate.
Also, schools could require a minimum amount of studying per week for each student (Implementation 8). As of now, the only schools that require a certain amount of study time are private schools. In each class, there is scheduled time each day/week set aside for studying. Basically, it is a study hall. A lot of schools have study halls already set in place, but, for example, Aransas Pass High School is one of the many schools across the nation which do not enforce studying during that time (Crenshaw).
There is one very obvious, but extremely flawed solution to this problem. Schools need to change their curriculums and start focusing more on the

Tomas Gutierrez Alea’s Memories of Underdevelopment (1968), is a film that represents a time frame between the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1961. It develops upon the life of Cubans during the post-revolution. The storyline evokes from a bourgeois Cuban, Sergio Corrieri’s reflection upon his life, his relationship with women, and his relationship with the society. Sergio, unlike his wife, family and friends, chooses not to abandon the country for the capitalism somewhere else. However, he continues to criticize his country as “third world” and “underdevelopment”. And he continues to observe his world through the eyes of incomprehension, and egotism. By concentrating on Sergio as the central figure in the film, the director can convey his political and narrative intentions. Examples of the use of cinematography techniques, such as camera scale, frame, quality and movement in the film will demonstrate how the director chooses to portray Sergio as a character, to offer a subject-objective view of the early years of the Cuban revolution.
...t of people who return back to a law breaking mentality after they get released from prison. When you release people instead use these alternatives versus confinement it is less of a waste of expensive resources, taxpayer’s money, as well as time. A medium between control and treatment needs to be met in all of the prisons, or jails. Some men or women need more strict conditions and supervision practices while others may just need more of the services that should be offered such as rehabilitation, and alcohol or drug prevention. Any of these options will not be easy nor diminish this overcrowding issue quickly. It will take time, patience, and cooperation with both the inmates or ex-offenders family, friends, courts as well as law enforcement and jails.
Assessing the consequences of our country’s soaring imprison rates has less to do with the question of guilt versus innocence than it does with the question of who among us truly deserves to go to prison and face the restrictive and sometimes brutally repressive conditions found there. We are adding more than one thousand prisoners to our prison and jail systems every single week. The number of women in prisons and jails has reached a sad new milestone. As women become entangled with the war on drugs, the number in prison has increased if not double the rate of incarceration for men. The impact of their incarceration devastates thousands of children, who lose their primary caregiver when Mom goes to prison.

Feminist criminology is a relatively new field that addresses the issue of gender and crime. Since its inception it has tried to address issues such as the disparity in the treatment of women within the criminal justice system and society. It has raised questions about the differences in the frequency and nature of female and male offending, the neutrality of theories in regards to gender, and the contributions of the media to the gendering of crime. Candace Kruttschnitt is a leading criminologist and gender scholar who gave a presidential address at the American Society of Criminology in 2015. She discussed the applicability of mainstream theories that she believes should be more gender inclusive, examined the prominence of females as victims

The Cuban revolution had a great impact on future Cuban filmmakers and the Cuban film industry. Before the revolution, during Batista?s dictatorship, cinema only existed in the capital and major cities; only Hollywood videos would be shown. When Fidel Castro took over the filmmaker?s goal was to create democracy in the production and distribution of films. Their desire to acquire films from all over the world almost exceded their patriotism. Cuba developed mobile cinemas for the rural areas. Since the revolution it has been possible to create a film industry in Cuba although the fight to show the industry view of the revolution has been hard. Unfortunately there are limitations to money so productions have decreased. This creates a problem for the younger generation who are struggling to become film makers. Now a days its almost impossible to create a film without co-producing it with another country. Other problems exist for example, in Cuba there is a shortage in gasoline, gas is received from other countries to film motion films. From the very beginning the cinema was the only sector of Cuban society openly in the hands of the communists, and they control each and every piece of film shown in the...

The number of incarcerated women increased by more than 700%, between 1980 and 2014 (Carson 1). Prisons were made for men, so why are so many women going to prison? Women make up just 7% of the prison population (O’Brien 80). A little more than 4% of those offenders committed a nonviolent crime. Women are more likely to commit nonviolent crimes than men. Women who are alcohol and drug abusers could resolve their problems in rehabilitation centers or join recovery programs. Since women make up such a small population in the prison they are not always the biggest priority. “Women’s biological needs, family responsibilities and unique paths to prison combine to create incarceration experiences that are vastly different from
