Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination.

Final Paper The Athletic Department of High schools in the U.S should give home schoolers a right to play on the public high school teams because since they do not put high school effort why should we give them the high school fun. The reason why is that home schoolers should not be given to play on public high school teams is that they do not work hard as the high school athletes do. A high school athlete usually has to wake up early in the morning and go to school for eight hours. During these eight hours the student must work hard in the class to maintain the sports eligibility by doing homework,projects and essays.The homeschooler how ever usually tend to have four hour ours of learning which is given at the parents convince.
This is particuarly suprising given the fact that in 1907 they ordered mandatory health tests for all schoolchildren, and results showed widespread malnutrition. This was not dealth with and the government failed to provide basic dental and health care for children, meaning tooth decay became the most widespread disease in the country. Another group of people at risk of ill health due to poverty was the elderly. To deal with this the Liberal government intoruced the Old Age Pensions Act in 1908. This protected the old and unemployed once they reached the age of seventy and provided a crucial first step towards universal pensionship for all people who lived to retirement age.

Jenifer McKee May 15, 2011 English Comp II Lehman The American Dropout Crisis The United States is facing a high school dropout rate of epidemic proportions. One-third of public school students fail to graduate from high school (Bridgeland, 2006). One high school student drops out every nine seconds, so before you have completed reading this essay over 100 students will have dropped out of school (Bridgeland, 2006). While this epidemic seems insurmountable, it provides an opportunity to make changes needed to our educational system. With many ideas and proposed changes presented to legislators and educators nationwide, one of the changes proposed by many states in raising the compulsory school attendance age or more directly the
Summary of Against School by John Taylor Gatto Most kids today cringe at the fact that they have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to school. They grunt and complain about having to complete six classes a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year, and twelve years of school. In the article “Against School”, John Taylor Gatto explains how he thinks public education cripples our kids and why. His first main point is that both the students and teachers are suffering from boredom. The kids seemed to be bored because they think that the work is stupid or that they are already aware of how to do it.
In the U.S. today, retaining students in schools has been a big problem. Retention in school is defined as having the ability to prevent students from dropping out of school. According to Colin Powell in his article “Keeping America’s Promise,” “1.2 million students per year, nearly 7,000 students per school day, one student every 26 seconds drops out. These figures are disturbing because it seems young adults are unavailing about education, they rather enjoy their social life and have fun. For young people of color, the statistics are even more startling.” This problem is more prevalent and bleak among students of color.
Your Children Have The Right to Remain Responsible Hannah Delarosa The debate on whether parents should be accountable for their children’s behaviour has gone on for a long time.This is a discussion I say no to, mainly because parents don’t keep watch 24/7, children are not puppets, and that they need to learn from their own mistakes. My first reason depicted was that most parents are not present with their child every moment of the day. An example of constant distance is when your kid is enrolled into school. They are away for at least 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, 10 months a year, until the graduation of high school. During this time, your children learn from several teachers with different views of how to educate.
Poverty is known to be the major cause of school dropouts. The inability to pay school tuitions and fees, to purchase books, and to have the opportunity to enroll in good high schools and universities lead people harshly to leave school. In addition, recent research reveals that a huge amount of school dropouts is the result of poverty, and it does not enable people to enroll in good high school and universities, whereas government is putting a blind eye. In fact, we can notice a lot of poor people in the rural regions who are complaining most of the time that they do not have enough money to afford tuitions simply because these families earn the minimum salary. Students who live and study in an unusual way cannot outperform at school, and this is one reason in which students decide to leave school.
