As a parent of my own two teenagers, being in agreement with their choice of clothing sometimes comes to a battle stand. I do not want my children exposing themselves any more than necessary to the public in general or at school. As a result, Wayne County School District Board is convening soon to again review the dress code policy that is in place for our county. Uniforms and stricter dress codes are ever becoming the more positive choice at hand, both the educators and for parents like me. Much to the chagrin of my teens, I will be voting in favor of uniforms, or the strictest dress code policy options available.
In a perfect world, every parent would pass on the knowledge they need to conduct safe and happy sex lives. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world and the sooner parents realize this, the better. Since sex is a confidential subject, some parents believe that the subject should be taught solely in the home. They believe that schools should not be teaching subjects involving sex because it may conflict with their own values, and some parents do not want schools promoting sex at all. According to Mindy Craver, an educator from Planned Parenthood, parents are the prime educators for their children when it involves sex.
Second, homosexual people are some of the socialist individuals I know. I mean that in a good way. Children raised by a homosexual couple are already experiencing what it feels like to be different and how to overcome negativity at an entirely different kind of level. Homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt as long as they meet the requirements when it comes to caring the children. If I was taking from my parents, shuffled from place to place, can't make friends because I'm never in one place too long, feeling lonely, and just plain tired; being adopted by homosexual couple wouldn't sound too
“Controversy about sex education” Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy regarding sex education in schools. The debate always exists whether the schools ought to be teaching abstinence sex education or comprehensive sex education. By doing so, I believe the schools are trying to integrate morality into teaching. Regardless of the schools’ preferred method of teaching, it will always be an inferior source of learning when dealing with sex education. Many schools offer abstinence sex education as their method of educating young teens.
Public school allows more interaction and socializing with other children, while home schooling concentrates on the how child progresses educationally, as the needs of the child are met. It is the goal of the parent home schooling to see their child succeed. Many parents would want to home school the child because of a hundred percent involvement in the child’s education, this is a major decision for any parent, but I know most parents wants to know how much their child is progressing on a daily basis, what are they learning and knowing they are a part of their child’s education. Most parents think it might be expensive to home school but it is not, most learning material can easily be found online for free. There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” As a parent, people around us might view home schooling as better especially those that home schooled as a child growing up.
I leaned that sometimes speaking your mind no matter how intimidating can usually pay off in the long run. Writing an essay for my GED was not such a pleasant writing experience. I wrote my essay on my grandmother, and even though I felt it was passionate and detailed the instructor was looking for more. It seems, when writing for a grade, they were looking more for form, punctuation and proper grammar. Disappointed as I was I realized its not always the subject as much as it is your form and process that gets the grade I learned to pay more attention to my technique and process.
From a parent of a Head Start student to a teacher of the Head Start program I can clearly say that Head Start has made a difference in my family life. I also talk to other parents who have children in Head Start and the program help their family. Head Start is truly a wonderful program that every young child needs to attend. Head Start believes learning
No. these children are there because their straight parents abandoned, abused and neglected them. Having gay parents is obviously everything but traditional; but, one thing our society needs to see is that they are the ones that are making this lifestyle difficult for children. If everyone would just give up the “homophobe” concerns they have
The Main Priority When it comes to high school students, sex can be a touchy subject; for both parents and teachers as well. All parents hope that their children will stay abstinent, but now parents also have to hope that if their children do not stay abstinent, they will not get sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are becoming more prominent in society and more importantly, teen pregnancies are occurring more and more often. STDs and pregnancy are becoming so prominent that some schools feel obligated to take a stance. Not just by giving students access to condoms, but by also providing emergency contraceptives, like the Plan B pill.
Ultimately, this is not a completely terrible viewpoint; there are multiple logical arguments against teaching students cursive writing. “American schools are slowly phasing out cursive handwriting, which is an unambiguously good thing. Cursive is an archaic form of communication – one best left to history.” (Pot) Countless individuals believe cursive is too much work for, what they feel, is an underwhelming reward. As I discussed earlier, people are often hesitant to work unless there is a fair reward. The ability to write in cursive is not important for a large segment of the population; they do not use it, so they do not care.
