that is now the fourth largest European ethnicity in the country is the Italian-American. The immigration of Italians to the U.S. was the most intense from the years 1880 to 1920, that period of time alone brought in an estimated 4 million of them. The reasons for the surge of Italians in those forty years was because of the Unification that took place in 1861 and the new constitution that ensued which supported northern Italy and oppressed the people of south Italy, especially farmers and the like, forcing many Italians to subsequently leave the country in search of better life in the United States. What all these immigrants did not realize is that they were going to have an extremely difficult time of trying to assimilate into the American way of life, especially since they usually could not speak English and they were treated unfairly. In the autobiography of Rocco Corresca, who was a mere child when he immigrated to America, he talks about the unjust treatment and wages that he witnesses happening to Italian laborers.

As the general population of Wilbur Cross High School is diverse, it is imperative that teachers embrace as many ethnic and racial groups as possible in the course of study. I believe that by studying the various groups students will learn not only about the differences in the cultures and backgrounds, but shared experiences as well.
From the 20th century to the present, this gap has substantially widened. Due to this increase, suburb areas and large cities like the city of Houston have had budget cuts occur in their school systems as the economy has worsened. Of course, the budget cuts have affected the poor areas more because of the simple yet saddening fact that the poor had no money to begin with. The Chicago Tribune News Paper went on to observe this trend by having Greg J. Duncan and Richard J. Murnane conduct a study to see the difference between parents in rich and poor areas who place their children in enrichment programs like music or tutoring. Enrichment programs have been proven to improve the quality of the education a child a receiving.

A Glimpse of The American Mental Health Counselors Association Summary From their humble beginnings in the mid 70’s to being one of today’s premier professional association in the field of psychology, American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) continued to flourish, carving their niche in the mental health industry. From a recent web-post, AMHCA reported that a total of 7,000 mental health professionals have now joined the organization.

Introduction As a freshman in psychology, the thought of joining and choosing a professional organization did not come to mind until reading and researching about AMHCA, one of the primary professional associations for psychologists and students.
In 1993, the community programs served over 170,000 people. State financial support to local programs has increased from $165.8 million in 1980 to $1 billion in 1993. This dramatic increase in state support for community mental health was made possible by closing state hospitals such as The Traverse City State Hospital that cost as much as $500,000 per bed per year.

Through her experiences at home, at school and in the community as a young child in Ancona, Italy (and later Rome) she developed an intense and deep-seated belief in the importance of respect and devotion for a healthy, educated and cooperative society. These philosophies are still key principles of the modern Montessori method practiced in Casa classrooms worldwide. Maria’s parents practiced two very different governing styles when it came to raising children. On one hand, her father was a strict, domineering military man with strong traditional beliefs as to the roles of women and children in society. Rather than being a hindrance to Maria’s social and spiritual development, this bold and assertive personality translated into the development of the young girl’s own bold, self-confident personality and leadership skills that would serve her greatly in later years.
