Many have argued that schools should provide an environment free from ads and corporate influence. But others argue that corporate sponsorships are a necessity for “cash strapped schools.” Budget cuts are attacking schools all over the nation, so it's nice to see that corporations are helping to keep sports programs running. it can also be a way of showing community togetherness, like if it's a local business or corporation throwing support. Public schools need to be run by a business and obtaining corporate sponsors would be a great way to bring money into the schools. The problem is that the funding is low due to all the spending the government does and in the end limits money for education.
Daniel Weintraub, in his article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home", states that parents are to blame for childhood obesity. The essence of Weintraub's argument is that it is the parents responsibility not the government, nor are the fast food companies bound to teach kids how to eat healthy and how to say active. He also mentioned results of statistics made on social economic status and gender, which shows that more kids are overweight due to fast food restaurants, supersizing and lack of exercise. Weintraub refutes these findings by emphasizing how parents are responsible for what their kids eat. As a result, his own recommendations include: limiting the consumption of sodas, junk food as well as avoiding a sedentary lifestyle.
According to Pierce Hollingsworth (2004), the parents and school should not blame the food marketing for being the main cause of obesity rather than teaching and helping the kids to have good habit of eating. He thought that the responsibilities of the parents and schools were important for educating childhood obesity. However, there are so many problems with his arguments. He did not think about the bad effects of advertising on kids. For example, the food marketing companies usually uses the attractive poster about fast food to get the attention of the kids.
People are also pushing for restrictions to be placed on marketers that target the child audience, while they do not see who is actually buying the unhealthy food for their children. Placing restrictions on advertisement that targets children may or may not aid in reducing the soaring obesity rates since the child’s home life and surrounding advertisements both play a major role in their eating habits. It is obvious that marketing strategies that target children are not the cause of child obesity. Children follow their parents and official data confirms that children follow in their parents’ footsteps, so focus should be placed on the parents, not the advertisements. Passage two also writes that children are less active, and that “limitations on advertisements will not make them any thinner.” These reasons indeed prove why adverts cannot be blamed for child obesity.
To begin with, Funding for the educational system is greatly based on the local property taxes in the area of a public school, and is one major cause of failing public schools, due to unequal funding and lack in necessary instructive and learning tools. Due to this unfair funding in school districts, low income districts, are having schools that are unable to afford essential materials to create success in their learning environments. States and districts have created standardized testing that students must pass to qualify for graduation of a grade level, or distribution of funding to their school. How can underprivileged schools keep up in testing with wealthy schools that have all the ability to give their students “hands-on” teaching, and all necessary equipment? In the article “reforming school funding” by Kathy Koch, the author briefly portrays the experience of a student from a wealthy school, Lauren.
The author uses argumentation to try to persuade the reader that many parents do not care what their children eat. He also suggests children are quite frequently allowed to eat unhealthy foods. Crister also states the foods are often from places which do not monitor what the foods contain and just make them attractive to children. Even though the author does make use of language which makes his essay appeal to who ever read it, he fails to address the other sides of the issues. For example he uses analogy when he states that thinness should be a way of life for people in today’s society.
Keywords: retention, turnover, transfer, engaged and dis-engaged INTRODUCTION There is an extreme challenge for the hiring team responsible to staff for the needs of special education. Human resources focus on the development of talent to produce a highly qualified work force, and to create an organizational culture that will maintain engaged special educators. The ever increasing demand for special educators has been a great concern to policy makers for many years (Morsink, 1982). There are not enough new teachers entering the field, and there are many qualified teachers that have resigned or retired and no longer work in the special education career field. Research found that
Also, poor students don’t have enough money to buy new computers or new programs to join with society, and this problem reflects in schools such as knowledge and experiences, too. There are many effects results faces schools system on the education, and school system get bad result. There are some teachers don’t have experiences, and teachers have negative influence on the students, however, there are some solution to get a good result such as encourages students to work hard, and distract give new computers, enough supplies that student need .Also school system can make new programs such as programs for training, grant programs to develop the ability for the
Also, his true intention is for students to explore themselves and find their true interests instead of aiming for well paying jobs. Even though his essay is being read by a huge group of college students, these pressures continue to be with the students, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. These pressures have not gotten any better since the 1970s, in fact they have gotten so much worse. It is naïve for the author to wish for students to experiment themselves and find their true interest when we live in a world where economy is so bad that we can’t afford to fall down. Economic pressure is very hard on students today.
Having an education is an essential part of living a successful life and having a great career. However, school dropouts are at all time high these days. Some obstacles that hinder students from completing their education are: students come from unpaid internships, teen pregnancy, and bullying. Students who come from low income families are more likely to drop out to enter the job market early to support their families. “Many children live on the wrong side of the tracks in places where education is not valued, where drugs, gangs and violence abound.
