The idea is called “Pot-lucking”, this is where people from the same dorm or floor puts money together and buys food for all students on the floor one week, and then the next week a different room has the same plan. This will not be an every night event but it will save their money a couple days out of the week and students will get to eat. Food is an essential need that must be spent on affordably or students will waste a lot of
Cheat to Success In the article, “Can Students be Paid to Excel?” Jennifer Medina reports that paying students for their performance at school can actually help them become better students. Then again, in the introduction of “Drive”, Daniel Pink gives proof to show that “extrinsic motivators”, like money, are not always the best way to inspire learning and growth in a person. This is why Los Angeles middle schools should not offer students cash rewards to improve the student’s academic performance because as time goes by, student’s academic work will go down the drain. Most students get the job done as long as they are being paid to do so. I know from reality and from the introduction of “Drive” by Daniel Pink, that states, “Rewards can deliver a short-term boost---just as a jolt of caffeine can keep you cranking for a few more.
Students are not missing class to go scope out the opposite sex and to spend all day with them not attending any of their classes. Most students at Baldwin Wallace are either paying for their own college through their savings or loans, or their parents are paying for their college. For a student to miss class to be with the opposite sex would either be financially hurting themselves or their parents are most likely going to stop paying for the college if they aren’t attending their classes. The retention rate should have no affect on whether a campus is intermingled or not, it should have an affect on financial reasoning’s and a students study
2). Instead of searching for a better educational environment, students look for better tests numbers. Lang Wood goes on by stating “Students can easily become discouraged and negative about education in general, which affects their learning ability” (par. 2). In addition to what Lang Wood believes, Stephens claims, students who are taking the test suffer from stress in result of worrying about passing it.
Is College Worth it? With rising costs of college, a college education becomes a gamble rather than an investment. Although it works out well for millions of Americans, many college graduates have found themselves unable to get a quality job in their field in this economy with inescapable debt to their school. Purchasing an education to make more money only to end up owing money may not be the best solution. Despite the benefits of a college education, such as a better starting pay in entry level jobs and some better opportunities to find world, these benefits are only individual and do not outweigh the price it takes to achieve them.
The money that the school receives from college athletic programs is compensation enough. Based on the academic and athletic pressures placed on college athletes it would be fair that they be paid for their hard work and dedication. Did you know that the amount of time college athletes train and work in sports is about the same amount as an average American employee works at their job. Spending a lot of their time training and working does not give them enough time to get a part time job. Many college athletes come from impoverished areas so they are not able to get the money they need from their families.
For an average family many are cutting back on things that aren’t needed such as going out to eat and family day trips. The lottery could help out a family like this in a great way. The family could put money away for their kids to go to college, pay off debts, and maybe even have an early retirement. Another great deed to share their fortune with would be donating it to a good cause. The winner doesn’t have to donate all of their fortune to the charity, but anything does make a difference.
The concept is not hard to grasp. But all of this takes either time or money and sometimes both. Living away from home is expensive. My family is blessed enough to support me while I was in school but not everyone is so fortunate. Some of my teammates work part time jobs, participate in work-study programs, or take out loans just to be able to wear a uniform with the universities name of the front and represent it on a field of play.
This is due to parents that can easily afford to spend thousands of dollars out of pocket for a four year degree. In the lower income areas, these graduates do not have the funds or opportunities of their counterparts. Their parents may not have attended college; therefore the students may have never been taught the importance of a higher education to better themselves in life. The military is a more viable option for them. They will have the opportunity to have their education paid for, understand the importance of education, and possibly learn a valuable skill while being able to serve their country.
I say limit you’re spending. Well here’s my logic you shouldn’t go into college spending a lot of money unless you’re on an academic or athletic scholarship but for the regular paying student no. The reason why you should limit your spending is because your money has to last you for a long time. If you’re the type of person who likes to spend a lot then there will be some lonely days for you. Remember you have to eat and unless you’re on a meal plan (which is still basically paying) you will have to go out and buy your own things to eat there is no mommy or daddy there anymore to help make sure your mouth is fed so you’ll have to try to save as much as you can to provide for yourself.
