... the protests could affect
more than $63 million in funding for schools and counties across the state. The
money will not be allocated into the schools until the dispute has been settled.
A large group of Oklahoma superintendents has been meeting with the big four
utility companies (Public Service Company of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Natural Gas,
Oklahoma Gas and Electric and Southwestern Bell) to try to reach a compromise.
The most recent meeting occurred on Monday, November 28, 1994. At that meeting

... People in America like to be free, to do whatever
they want to do without any restrictions. This belief is reflected in the
American educational system. In American schools, teachers and students are at
the same social level. Students are encouraged to exchange their own opinions
with the teacher. From an early age, students in the American educational
system have been taught that they have the ability to achieve whatever they want
to be, but rarely have been told how they can achieve their goal. This is
because in America there ar ...
... of these funds. I believe that I am the most qualified applicant for
the R.C. Easley National Scholarship. I have displayed excellence in the
classroom, in extra-curricular activities, and I believe with the education I
receive I will benefit society greatly.
Throughout my high school career I have prided myself on a difficult
class load and consistently good grades. While at Horicon High School I feel I
have challenged myself more than any other student. Instead of taking the usual
study hall I have elected to fill that time with anoth ...
... distributor. I had to come home from school every day and walk the streets for over an hour, and then after I finishing the route would have to walk home and count the money I received that day. Winter was the worst, in the freezing cold weather I had to walk around and go house to house praying someone would invite me in. This job didn’t last too long
The next job I got was washing dishes at a country club, I came home every night smelling like fish and feeling sick to my stomach. This job as well didn’t last for too long.

... a few basic
principles. Because of the many benefits that proper voice, structure, and
thesis development bring to one's writing, these facets of writing are more
important than any other.
Voice in a piece of writing can bring rewards like nothing else can.
Voice is the key to getting the reader involved in an essay. Without it, the
reader becomes passive and the essay can not be comprehended. Most essays have
the essential material, so the manner in which the material is presented can
make a difference. When voice is properly executed ...
... We are not educated to seek out what our interests are . We are
educated so we can produce things. The age of art and philosophers is dead due
to our age of "so called" education. We are being molded into people who can
not think for ourselves. An example of this would be the giant "American War
Machine." The government says we need all these weapons to protect America.
They do not say who we need protection from. In fact there really is no one we
need to be protected from. The Soviet Union is no more and the rest of the
world is alre ...
... the school district and surrounding
community more money than a traditional nine month schedule. "More funds would
be needed to cover the costs of paying the teachers and staff for one full year
instead of for 180 days work." ( Sevetson 2). "Teachers currently make an
average of $37, 000 in the United States. However, the costs would increase to
$53, 000 to keep the teachers for a full year." (Somerby 8). Currently, a
district uses a lot of its budget on paying teachers. Once the increased costs
are put in place, the budget depletes ...
... 12 local levels in the Barren
County Chapter. The next level is the Regoinal level. The Regional level is a
bunch of the chapters from one part of the state. The regional level is then
brought up with the other regional levels that make up the state. The state is
one of the 54 states of the National Level(including the USA states, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico). There are over 450,000 members in the FFA from
the USA.
These Levels are similar because they each have officers, they each have
a set of rules, they each have pro ...
... other countries have developed. At
one time, America was the world leader in technology, service, and industry, but
overconfidence based on a historical belief in our superiority has caused our
nation to fall behind the rapidly growing competitive market in the world with
regard to education. The report in some respects is an unfair comparison of our
education system, which does not have a national standard for goals, curriculum,
or regulations, with other countries that do, but the findings nevertheless
reflect the need for change. Our ed ...
... schools have an obligation to prepare children for life in
society. Therefore they don't necessarily have the ability to change society but
I think today's situation in Germany is not nearly as bad as the situation in
"Dead poet's society", a movie based on a true story. In the movie a teacher
tries to let his students be creative and critical towards everything they see
and hear while neglecting values like punctuality and obedience. At first he is
successful, but as soon as the school board notices his ambitions, he gets
suspended for some o ...
... enrollment is about 5 percent of the student body, and only 4 percent of the faculty. Moreover, American Indian, Hispanic, and Asian Americans now comprise about 5 percent of the enrollment, and international student enrollment have also maintained a fair 4 percent (Snyder 4). The University of Tennessee at Knoxville should recognize the dynamic interaction of communities and cultures that comprise contemporary America, as well as the world. Reflecting on this interaction, the university should change its curriculum and campus environ ...
... legislation mandating policies to accommodate
them. However, a great deal of inequality exists in our special education
system. Most interest, attention and concern is geared toward educating
the retarded and/or disabled, while neglecting to recognize the equally
important needs of our gifted and talented students. I feel that our
education system is doing unto these children a grave injustice.
First and foremost, who are our gifted and talented students, and for
what reasons do we classify them in this way? There is great diversity ...
