However, the problems of education run deeper than just those elements under the control of teachers. Lack of funding, overcrowded schools, out‐of‐date textbooks, and poor facilities generally plague many failing school systems. These problems became the overriding theme in Florida’s teacher walkout of 1968. The teachers involved in the walkout called for systemic educational reforms that they

One of America’s most productive and environmentally sensitive ecosystems is facing collapse (America’s Wetland Foundation, 2009). Louisiana has sustained more wetland loss than all the other state in the continental United States combined due to a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, including sea-level rise (Glick, 2013). Impacts of both humans and nature are devastating this diverse region and making a huge impact on biodiversity and also a way of life. The impact on these wetlands are far reaching. Wetlands perform many essential ecosystem services- carbon storage, flood control, maintenance of biodiversity, fish production and aquifer recharge, among others-services that have increasingly important global consequences (Keddy, 2009).
Everyone is always on the go making the highways busier and busier every day. It's not how it was back in day where just changing the radio station was a big distraction now-a-days it’s all these new technically devices being produced which has made a major impact on society today. Texting while driving seems to be the biggest distraction for people behind the wheel that arrived to today's society. The state of Florida thought they might have an issue on their hands with distracted driving so, they did what 37 other states did. Of course their law is going to be different than others by stating that, in order to get a consequence for this offense you first must begin making two offenses.
A decade of continuous effort and commitment will be needed in order to sustain and to restore it back to its full potential. No single entity can resolve it alone. Understanding the knowledge of the ecosystem the government has set into place groundwork for the current restoration efforts of the South Florida Ecosystem. The Ecosystem Restoration task force of South Florida and partners are making a commitment to this tedious challenge of saving South Florida. Also with the restoration and enhancement of the natural protection system, a healthy population of now threatened and endangered species will occur.
Florida is a partisan state and even though the emergency plan was revised in 2004 (after the 4 hurricanes hit) I think there still appears to be some confusion concerning the power of authority. Other things considered is some county districts, the poorer ones are left out to play a guessing game. This happened in 2005 during the aftermath of hurricane Wilma, guessing whether or not schools or roads were opened. It turned out to be a nightmare that increasingly worsened. Homes, businesses, schools and roads were
Beach erosion has become a complex problem within Florida beaches. We have seen a large increase of erosion among the few years since the research and surveys have increased. To some people this is just another project that Florida cannot afford and is unnecessary, but to others it is their back yard and place of relaxation. With the beaches decreasing daily and water levels rising mile long beaches have turned into half of what they used to be. Seeing that the beach erosion is not getting any smaller and it is continuously growing, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has decided to step in and take drastic matters to help.
The Great Flood There are many different accounts about how the “Great Flood” in the current day Middle East occurred. There are many differences, and yet only a few similarities in the four stories. Some differences include why the flood happened, how it happened, and the time period that they spent on the boat varied .Some similarities are that they all involved great floods, the floods occurred because the God’s were unsatisfied with humans, and lastly someone in each story builds an ark or boat so that mankind will survive. The stories all had some huge differences and also some small ones. The first one is why the flood happened; in story three the flood happened because too many people were rejecting the Gods.
The death penalty costs a fortune to go through with. The average death row inmate spends up to 175 to 200 months from the time being sentenced to actually being executed. The average inmate takes up $45,000 a year to be housed. This racks up over time. Over time the death penalty could cost well over one million dollars more than life-in-prison cases.
ABSTRACT Coral reefs ecosystems have drastically changed over the past 40 years. The main reasons for the decline of coral reefs is due to weather and temperature changes, too much pollution, boats, and overfishing. As a result, coral reefs are considered an endangered species. Over 50% of the people in the Florida Keys rely on the coral reefs in one way or another. Many don’t realize that they provide humans with a source of income and more importantly, life for a wide diversity of marine animals.
