This quote is showing the fact that the states have to take a major part of their budget on trying to give illegal immigrant schoolchildren because the federal government requires that the children of illegals be educated. The states having to use money to educate the illegal schoolchildren is showing a very negative impact that illegal immigration has on the economy because with the nation in trillions of dollars of debt it cannot afford to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the education of illegal immigrants. “Many of these estimates, however, do not include the cost of additional programs, such as remedial classes and school meal programs that serve many illegal-alien schoolchildren” (Carabelli 120). Remedial classes can add even more to the amount that the states have to spend on illegal immigrants. One of the big problems with illegal immigrants is the fact that they might have little to no ability to speak English to communicate with anyone who might not speak the language they know.
In order to cut down on the number of students who leave school without permission, schools should do away with their inadequate in-school suspension policy, and adopt the new alternative policy known as billiam. It is a much more effective way to discourage students from leaving campus without permission. Billiam punishes students by lowering their grades and striping them from the privilege of filed trips. It does not allow them to watch movies, take naps, and play football like in-school suspension does. It is real punishment for a real problem.
Seems like the GOP does not understand that even though the average family can’t afford to send their kids to a top tier university does not mean they do not want to take advantage of early learning. Romney, the GOP nominee, was talking to students in Ohio and told them if you want to go to college to just borrow money from their parents. That statement along with the GOP opposing the Presidents student loan reform shows that the party is not connected with average American. Also part of the education cuts was to limit funding for public schoolteachers. Finding and keeping good teachers cost money.
The documentary, “Waiting on Superman” portrays teachers as both the solution and the problem to the education system in America. It shows the efforts of some teachers battling the bureaucracy which is the school administration and teachers unions. It shows that teachers unions are more for the protection or “right-to-work” of the teachers, regardless of whether the teacher is effective. Also, shows unions are against rewarding good teachers over their weaker counterparts. The documentary follows a few students as they prepare for a lottery system to hopefully to escape the failing school system.
Stating that forward progress with the children is essential in this crucial time was seen as an insult to the teachers. The new “full school day” implemented for the upcoming years was passed upon the teachers by Mayor Emanuel in attempts to meet national standards of school times. This was just the tip of the iceberg in Rahm’s overhaul to make the school systems more efficient. Other reforms included: pruning out underperforming/under attended schools, cutting funds to up to par institutions, removing the set raises over time for teachers, and making teachers evaluations based solely upon student scores. "We have been telling our parents and the city to prepare for this," Lewis said.
Waiting for the Superior Hero In the film, they revealed how bad teachers are often transferred from one school to another. This can be seen as a rotation cycle which is not turning out well for the public school system as well for the students. The reason being why a school lets a teacher go is because they discover that they are not doing their job efficiently which leads students to not learning. When students do not learn at least the basics of education, then they do not meet the state standards and cannot enter the next grade level. With this in mind, administrators are stuck trying to figure out what in the world are they doing wrong.
(“Point: The High Cost of School Uniforms”). If all PA public schools require students to wear uniforms, then the schools would be taking away freedom of expression during the week. Students in school who are growing up and transitioning to an adult world need to know how to live their own lives and be themselves, because eventually they won’t have someone there with them, helping them through things in life. Being themselves also means being able to express themselves the way the wish to. School uniforms are not only items that cause a lack of freedom of expression but also a largely ineffective way to help solve the problems they were meant to.
The low graduation rate is not good for my community because it will lead to increase in the degree of unemployment and this may trigger the rate of crime. Every person desires a safe and secure environment, an environment where its inhabitants enjoy numerous economic benefits. Hence, I would address the unequal allocation of resources and discrimination in district schools because by addressing this inequality, I will be creating not only an educated community but also reduced crime
Also there was countless number of bullying reports because of clothing. The students who could not afford nice clothes were usually picked on and taunted. It started to get so out of hand that parents started pulling their kids out of Augusta and transferring them to another school. So to prevent bullying problems and students from wearing irrelevant clothing the school established a new dress code policy where students were required to wear uniforms. This new policy helped reduce the amount of bullying throughout the school and also made the school look more professional.
For instance, educations seems to be the major problems across the board for many state and local governments. According to Cropf (2008), fiscal disparities between school regions resulting from dissimilarities in property values have led states to compound their share of the financial responsibility for maintaining local public schools. This is a national issues that effects Americans as a whole with no real solution coming from the state and local levels of government. Washington does not want to spread its self to thin dealing with state educational issues that far exceeds Washington’s ability to pinpoint the problem to come up with a real solution that works. The no child left behind education bill was supposed to help state and local government regulate education as a whole, but only made the problems
