But is this right, should parents even, principals just blow bullying off like that? Maybe we've seen a bigger kid shoving a smaller kid around, or a girl with less money shunned because her clothes aren't nice enough or she doesn't live in the right neighborhood. Both situations involve bullying, and it's a serious problem in elementary and middle schools nationwide. Too often, we don't take bullying seriously. Young people who are bullied are more likely to skip school or completely drop out.
Aunt Alexandra was horrified with the fact that Scout did not live up to the standards society had of women. She believed Scout should be wearing dresses, not running around wild like a boy. To further outstretch this topic of stereotypes, an article published in August 2014 by The New York Times stresses the phrase 'throw like a girl' and the hidden aspects of it. On the second page of the article, the author speaks of stereotypes of the female community.

They will be able to understand that not everyone fits in and is ‘popular’ at school, and how some are bullied because of it. But many of the concepts in ‘Cinnamon Rain’ will be foreign to the students, as they aren’t old enough, or have never been in that
Most students today know little to nothing about Vietnam thanks to the lack of photographs, as well as coverage. Some of the students Loewen had interviewed did not even know who fought in the war. A student of Loewen’s even wrote that showing the images of Vietnam during the war (specifically of the naked little girl running from the napalm attack) would completely change a student’s view of the war. However, because textbooks choose to leave out these stirring images, students still do not have the right outlook or sufficient knowledge of what happened in
White people believed they were superior to the blacks and barely viewed them as human beings. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee writes accurate descriptions of how racism was ingrained in the daily lives of Americans such as Aunt Alexandra whose response to Scout as to why she cannot play with a black boy is "Because- he – is – trash, that’s why you can’t play with him". Alexandra is not giving Scout a real reason why because she has no reason other than she grew up with society telling her black and white children could not play together and was brainwashed into believing it. Another situation that shows the shocking segregation is when Cecil Jacobs asked a question about why the Jewish were persecuted in class "But that ain’t no cause to persecute ‘em. They’re white aren’t they?"
This has made women to be illiterate as the men acquire the best education.

Amy Chua talks about the focus thats lately been on the Asian mothers about their way of being parents. “There are all these new books out there portraying Asian mothers as scheming, callous, indifferent people indifferent to their kids’ true interest.” This is a bad focus on Asian mothers, and together with the title, that makes the reason for the pause for the many western parents. It will definitely cause some anger that the asian mothers “relate” in the form of this article, and then it will draw them in and engage them in the debate, if they can disprove the article’s theories to themselves by disbelieving it. The author uses provocation to make the reader notice and be interested in the topic and make the readers relate to their own parenting. Once she has make the reader interested she engages them more by gaining their credibility by using herself as an example.
It finds that less supportive parenting techniques used by some Chinese parents damages self-esteem and complicates school adjustment, while also putting kids at greater risk of depression and problem behaviors. “Our research shows that Tiger Mother type of parenting, specifically controlling, punitive, and less supportive type of parenting is really not working in this sample of Chinese adolescents,” said Cixin Wang, an assistant professor at UC Riverside’s Graduate School of Education. “It also shows that it is important for Chinese parents, who tend to be less emotionally expressive and use less praise in parenting, to show their approval, love and support for their children.” POPULAR AMONG SUBSCRIBERS Interstellar, Where No Movie Has Gone Before Subscribe The Last Men of Steel Review: Interstellar’s Wonder of Worlds Beyond Chua’s book was packed with vivid, sometimes shocking tales of her strict approach to raising her own daughters, including
School Uniforms cons Antonio Rozier 3/15/13 Pd.2 Antonio Rozier Period 2 3/15/13 School Uniforms Con Ever since the 1920’s people have believed that school uniforms help students improve their grades and their behavior. Well this theory is not true what so ever school uniforms do not help students improve anything. Kade A., a sixth grade student, was asked how he felt about school uniforms he replied “No, I don’t like them, because they are uncomfortable, and make you feel like you are in your church clothes all the time.” (“Teen Ink” 1). A high school student was also asked how she felt and she responded “I do not like school uniforms because they take away student’s individuality.” (“Teen Ink 2”). These two students show that school uniforms do not help students improve their academics and also students do not like the uniforms at all.
One of the arguments of co-education is the idea that it provides too many distractions for students. Several scholars have argued that these distractions have led to less attention on school work and class participation, due to girls and boys trying to impress each other. Furthermore, it has also been argued that students who are intimidated by the opposite sex may also be affected by low performance and low grades. Many educators believe that single-sex education does not enforce any type of gender-based stereotypes or adolescent subculture. Due to this, single-sex schools have been established to combat these issues.
