Public School Finance: Prospectus Paper
.... assessed at
20 mills. This would generate around $100 million in new revenue for Oklahoma
schools. Eugene Chitwood, Okemah County Assessor, suggested that public service
companies be assessed at 23 mills and that commercial properties be assessed at
15-19 mills. This would generate around $50 million in new revenue for Oklahoma
schools. The utility companies are currently paying 22.85 mills and commercial
properties are paying 11 mills. Private advalorem property is assessed at 11-14
mills. The utility companies were receptive to the suggestions. They do not
care if their taxes are increased as long as commercial properties .....

.... in various band
functions. I also have had a part-time job at the local grocery store since the
summer after my sophomore year. I usually work approximately 20 hours a week
during the school year.
With the education I will receive while attending a world-class
university I am sure I will have a positive effect on society. Being an
engineer I will be involved in designing many products that affect everyone. I
will use my acquired skills to make sure every product I work on is the most
beneficial to society.

School Uniforms
.... School systems hope uniforms will help to eliminate gang violence
caused by students wearing rival gang colors. Uniforms would also prevent the
wealthier students from picking on their less fortunate classmates because they
can not afford to dress the same. Although no evidence confirms that the
uniform policy will improve academic achievement, the Long Beach Unified School
District reported a 50% decline in the number of disturbances at school and bus
stops in their district. Overall, the Long Beach Unified School District has
set an example for other schools planning to adopt the uniform policy by showing
noticeable im .....

Sex Education: Does It Really Work?
.... age is the reason for the failure of sex education in this country. To
counteract this problem abstinence should be taught to children under the age of
16. Then when the children reach the age of 16 they need to be taught AIDS and
condom education.
AIDS and other STDs are an important reason we have sex education. AIDS
education is supported in all fifty states: "Sex education is only formally
required or recommended in 47 states" (Gibbs 61). This shows that AIDS
education is considered more important than sex education. AIDS can be spread
by the transfer of bodily fluids such as blood or semen from an infected person

Should Homosexual Ideas Be Taught In School ?
.... knowledges, a homosexual course can also
prevent people from misunderstanding homosexuality. There are many people in
the society who do not really comprehend the nature of homosexuality; therefore,
they make fun and discriminate the homosexualists. This is an unhealthy
condition. The solution of this is to set up a homosexual course in the school
so that people can learn to make allowances for the problems of the
homosexualists. This is very important because in the modern society, equality
is a major premise. Racism, sexism, and the discrimination of people should be
totally abolished. Also, human rights are meant to be pre .....

Sometimes A Shining Moment: Good Teachers/ Bad Teachers
.... person when she came over to my desk and
out of the clear blue she asked me about my story I was writing for her class. I
was surprised to here her say “so Matt how do you like you story so far”. She
did not ask any body else in the class, just me. It was those little things
that she did that impressed me. She always made time in class for each and
every one of us to state our opinion about the days topic.
Some days when we were reading a story she would turn it into a
theatrical performance. She always keep us interested in what we were reading,
and turned an ordinary assignment that would of been boring with any other

Student's Rights
.... Wilhoyte" love-fest,
let's take a look at what these "legitimate rules" are, particularly as they
apply to freedom of speech, expression, and something they like to call
"material disruption of the educational environment."
The first item on the list is literature, specifically a student's right
to post it. It reads "Students shall have the right to post any literature of a
non-commercial nature without prior censorship or approval by the Administration
or School Board in any designated posting area, provided, however, the
designated representative shall be accorded the right to remove posted material
s/he considers obscene, libe .....

Teacher Certification
.... courses that prepare a
student to become a professional teacher and those classes that include major
and minor fields of specialization. Fieldwork, which is probably the most
important of the two forms of requirements, involves the individual interested
in being a teacher going out and observing, practicing, and preparing to enter
the educational world as an instructor. There is no argument that all schools
in every state has these basic requirements of teacher certification. However,
the inconsistency lies within how the numerous institutions go about in teaching
these requirements. Each post-secondary school is given the .....

Technology Is Changing Education
.... systems often
consider acquiring an enterprise computer network, but justify its purchase by
applying it to routine administrative tasks, or take period by period attendance.
Although these tasks are important, they only represent a small part of what
technology can do for an educational institution. Technology must go beyond
just keeping attendance, it must focus on keeping students interested and
productive. "Curriculum improvement is the best strategy to prevent dropouts;
technology is especially useful in this regard" (Kinnaman 78). Technology can
provide a unique and compelling curriculum resource, that challenges e .....

Education Through The Television
.... morals, a very religious person may not think
so but television still follows the good guy-hero, bad guy-loser theme. From
certain shows on TV one can learn what sort of things are socially acceptable
for instance fashion, behavior and hobbies.
Television features many "how-to" shows like gardening, painting, cooking,
etc.. It also has many documentaries on foreign lands and historic events.
Television is also an inexpensive form of entertainment. There are many movies
and sporting events shown on television.
In my opinion there are many positive things associated with television
but you can get too much of a good thing. .....

The Advantages Of American Educational System
.... would have forgotten
everything after a summer vacation. On the other hand, when children are
allowed to think of their own ways of learning the concepts, they will tend to
remember them longer and apply them appropriately since they are their own ideas.
In addition to promoting freedom, the American educational system also
fosters creativity among its students. The system believes that brilliant and
bright students are those students that have creative and unique ideas. In
order to develop creativity, it neglects good academic performance that most
systems treasure and tries to promote creativity among students and place
