Schools should save their money on those drug tests and actually test for something that is performance-enhancing and that is also hurting these young athletes. If that was the case there would be no steroid use among any high school football players and this would also keep from altering young athletes’ bodies. In some cases it would also keep from death of our young athletes today. By not testing for steroids in high school sports, we are not only letting kids think its ok, we are also altering their bodies for a small term fix. The use of steroids in high school is a problem that can be ended by drug screening, and also if coaches would care about their athletes, young lives are even being lost because people are ignoring the
Yell explains the current laws and regulations on disciplining students in special education. Throughout the chapter Yell breaks down the different aspects of discipline in schools in regards to special education. Yell starts out explaining the procedural due process used to create fair polices. Yell also talks about how schools are given the power to act as parent for the child while they are at school. This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline.
The purse’s main area contained cigarettes and rolling paper. This prompted a further search of the rest of the purse which turned up drugs, money and a list of students who owed money to this individual for drug sales. The court recognized the school as a unique environment that needed special protection to ensure that it properly functions. This decision has been the “go to” standard for public schools ever since. Today some question the validity of the diminished standard as new technology has emerged that the Supreme Court of 1985 could not have foreseen (Sprung, 2011).
Students are so highly influenced by the media that if they aren’t hearing about violence, death, sex or lies, then they have the “don’t care” mentality. If schools were to allow these such topics and narrow their bias guidelines, it may actually increase participation as well as
Each day, 100,000 students bring a gun to school, and another 160,000 students cut class because they fear physical harm (National Education Association). Those numbers may seem alarming, and so it is understandable as to why searches would be conducted to try and reduce these numbers. Also the controversy of whether a student’s fourth amendment right is being violated leans toward the administrator’s side. Schools do not need a warrant to be able to search lockers since the lockers technically belong to the school, and as long as there is reasonable suspicion, the searches are legal (Surveillance in Schools) (Constitutional Conflicts). Whether random searching is legal or not, it does not change the fact that students still feel violated of their privacy
This new policy helped reduce the amount of bullying throughout the school and also made the school look more professional. Now that the students are following the dress code properly another problem has emerged. Now there is a problem with students bringing their cellphones to school. It is a state law not to bring cell phones on school campus, but students bring them anyway. This is a problem because cell phones are a distraction to the student.
is to discourage kids interest in illegal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, gangs, and violence. In addition to discouraging kids interest in illegal activity, D.A.R.E. demonstrates to kids certain skills for resisting peer pressure to experiment and giving them alternative ideas to drug use. The most unique aspect of this program is it employs uniformed police officers to carry the anti-drug message to the students (Siegel, 2005). This program is implemented in 80% of the nations school districts, and 54 countries around the world (D.A.R.E.
Anel Zequera April 11, 2011 Mrs. Nunez English 1301 Uniform Policy Uniform policies can be very brutal and too strict. Many high schools choose to have uniforms so that students can focus more on school academics and not in the way they look or dress. Schools try to do what’s best for the student, not for punishment; without all of these rules, what can I school do to help out their students education and future? School uniforms should be allowed because it helps the students concentrate on the work and not what another student looks like or how they are capable of dressing. School uniforms are to be used to limit skin exposure and anything gang related to prevent anything that might harm students or symbolize anything unsafe.
Research Proposal 1) The issue I am addressing is why schools with children from kindergarten through 8th grade and some high schools need to enforce a mandatory school uniform policy to lessen the theft and violence and bullying in schools. My proposal is important and it matters because innocent students are getting, bullied, hurt, and killed because of what they are wearing and if we enforce my claim then the number of these can possibly go down. This matters to the parents, school students, school faculty, school administrators, and our future generation, because it affects all of us in several different ways. 2) The competing side of my argument is not to enforce a mandatory school uniform policy. They believe that enforcing children and youth to wear uniform takes away from their freedom of expressing themselves and their values.
However they are not, because in most cases of bullying it is usually one person’s word against the others. An idea could be that more security should be established in school by providing cameras inside and outside of schools. Supervisors should be more aware of student behavior before, during, and after school. And police should patrol a certain amount of distance to make sure students arrive safe to their homes. Parents should be aware of bullying and be available for any instances that occur.
