These mostly industrialized cities had an enormous need for children to learn English. Attending school year-round was necessary for students to learn the English language and it was helpful for parents, both of whom often worked. This contrasted greatly to the rural one room school houses of this time where most of the schooling took place during the winter when the children were not needed to work the farms (Hermansen, 1971, p.9). As education became more of a priority for society “progressive reformers championed compulsory attendance laws while extending the abbreviated rural-driven short hours and days into a longer school day and year” (Cuban, 2008,p. 241).

Or I would sit in front of the television and play with my Barbies. When playing with my Barbies I was able to do anything and everything with them, I sent them on “dates” with my brother’s GI Joes or they would have “sleepovers” and “have swim parties”. There many of things for me to do with them. Some parents may see that as a negative effect, my parents didn’t mind that I played with them so much, it was more of a hobby for me.

The Left and Right Brain: Two Teams, One Player Christina Smith College XXX XXX University Professor XXX The Left and Right Brain: Two Teams, One Player Thirty years ago, it was widely agreed that there were two types of thinkers. A person was either on the Left team or the Right team; the logical or the creative. Even today, the old dogma of left thinkers being better at math, and right thinkers dominating the artistic world is commonplace in schoolrooms and lecture halls. But the brain is much more complicated than just two parts. The science of learning is a maze-like process with twists and turns that has puzzled and impressed scientists and educators alike for years.
The addictive nature of social media leads to eating disorders, obesity, heart problems, sleep disorders, and other pertinent health issues. These youths similarly displayed more narcissistic tendencies, which are bolstered by their ability to relentlessly broadcast information about themselves through Facebook.

Teenagers always generate the best ideas, so as immature teenagers we decided that “borrowing” golf carts was a great proposal. Even though borrowing sounds effortless, there was a lot of initiative, bravery and intellect needed to have access and drive the carts. Firstly, we went through the carts’ storage and we took the easiest cart of storeroom. After we “borrowed” it out, we were all hand shaking, afraid, and frightened because if the security of the condominium knew we were stealing, they would quickly tell Sebastian’s mom, which will turn to be the worse event in the entire weekend. We drove all day long without anyone interrupting or telling us to put the cart back.
It is not uncommon for children to carry laptops or similar devices in their backpacks, but what happens to the children whose families simply cannot afford this luxury, which seems to becoming a necessity. With the advancements in technology, and the growing use of computers in schools, under privileged American children are suffering more and more from the digital divide. “Pencil to paper may soon be a thing of the past for students,” (Canan, 2011). Students across the country are becoming more and more dependent upon computers and the internet to get their school work done. Not too many years ago, it was not uncommon to see children turning in hand written assignments, but in today’s society it seems having computer access both at school and at home is a necessity.
Home Education vs. Public Education The body of research on home education has grown immensely since the late 1970’s, just as the number of students participating in a home based education has soared (Academic Leadership the Online Journal, 2010). The number of students that now participate in home education is roughly two million students. Even though the idea of home education is more popular now, it is not the most common choice, most students 6-17are enrolled in public school. When it comes to education, home education, public, or private education, there is no easy answer, each option comes with risk and no system is perfect. The best option is to find the one that works for each individual student.
