There are many tragedies in school but they do not happen often. I believe that there should not be armed guards in every school throughout the United States Children may be afraid seeing armed guards. There should not be armed guards because the money spent on it, shootings rarely happen, and other forces can protect schools. First, armed guards should not be in school because of the money that would be spent on them. The money spent on the guards would be a waste.
Censorship of Books in School Should people be able to deny a student’s freedom to read any book they want to at school? Every time an adult bans a book, children lose the chance to gain knowledge from it. The students’ outlook on the world becomes narrower as they lose access to an insightful piece of literature, and prohibiting books like that limits a students’ access to fantastic literary texts. Book censorship in schools limits the education of minors, and the students’ can’t receive the full knowledge inside. Book banning has a huge negative effect on how students live, at school as well as at home.
Kent J. Fetzer expressed, “Our biggest problem with a school uniform policy is the anti-individuality message it sends.” He feels students lose their freedom when forced to conform to only certain apparels. He believes in letting students experience freedom in order to learn how to act responsibly. I strongly believe teens need to learn how to act responsibly at a young age to develop skills for the future, but I refuse to believe that uniforms take away individuality. In contrast to Fetzer’s beliefs, Mike Kelly proclaimed, "Uniforms instill discipline, help students focus on their studies and eliminate pressure on parents to outfit their kids." He believes uniforms help parents as well as the students.
I find this very disturbing in the school system. There are few facts but mostly preferences and opinions on dress codes and school uniforms in public schools which has been an ongoing controversy nationwide. School uniforms are not the answer to adolescent issues. Dress codes and uniforms are used in many fields of work such as doctors, nurses, lawyers, bankers, janitors and so on. The uniforms represent their occupation, not who they are as an individual.
Black students’ schools buildings were not beautiful as if buildings of White students’ schools. They were very poor constructions and repairs. In addition, the nonsense segregation in education caused distinctions of curriculums between white and blacks schools. The Topeka curriculum or any school curriculum could not be equal under segregation. Students were not getting good education because of different and deficient curriculums.
As for intellectual development in working class children, working-class homes lack books, educational toys and activities that stimulate educational development. This could be due to the fact that the parents cannot afford it, they don’t have any free time to sit down and help their children with their educational needs or because the parent didn’t receive good grades when they went to school so therefore they are not fussed about their child’s education. This means that these children start school at a disadvantage. Middle-class children would have already been brought up with educational toys and activities and their parents would have probably read to them from a young age. This shows that working-class parents cannot afford to buy expensive toys and books to help their children throughout school as well as the fact that working-class parents can lack confidence if they have had a poor education themselves.
For many years teaching intelligent design or creationism in public schools has been a controversial subject for almost a century in the United States. Many people believe that only the evolution theory should be taught. Intelligent design should not be taught in public schools due to the fact that it is not based on real evidence. Learning creationism in school will cause many problems to the students and society. Breaking the law, harming science and harming the students are reasons.
This is something that has led parents to discuss and express their opinions for and against uniforms. The line is blurred for some. I see the line crystal clear. Boston Public Schools should not dictate the use of uniforms because not only does it suppress individuality, but it also hinders the experience of a comfortable school environment. Uniform by definition is constant, unvarying, and undeviating which directly contradicts the significance of individuality.
Being able to speak freely is important. But freedom of speech is limited due to society in recent decades. The perfect example of where freedom of speech is limited is in public schools. Schools limit the freedom of their students more than ever. Schools can only limit speech based on a reasonable expectation that it will cause a material and substantial disruption of school activities or invade the rights of others and prohibit obscene or vulgar language.
Why Students Should Wear Uniforms in Public Schools Many students believe that school uniforms should not be introduced, because of the limitation of their freedom. I believe that introducing a uniform to the school would decrease the diversity between each student, and it will be the solution for many problems. Taking this issue in to consideration, I wish to explain the benefits/ advantages of wearing a uniform to school. I personally think that a dress code enforces discipline in learning by changing a person’s attitude toward success. Students generally act the way they are dressed.
