About half of the people in your class probally wheren't excited to stand for the pledge this morning (or afternoon.) However, men and woman have died for the freedom and rights that we have today, so lets show them the respect they deserve. Standing for the pledge should be mandatory in public schools. Standing for the pledge unites Americans. We all live here, we’re all taking part of the community, going to school together and even grocery shopping together.
President Barack Obama: “Back to School“ President Barack Obama held a speech called “Back to School“ back in September 2009 at Wakefield High School, in front of students from all over the country. The president addresses the values of hard work and taking responsibility for paving your own way to success, no matter how hard the obstacles might be. The purpose of his speech was to persuade and motivate the students to stay focused and do well in school and take full advantage of their potential. His speech addresses to the American children from kindergarten up to high school. In the beginning of his speech, Obama says: “I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go“(pg.
Most students can agree that uniforms are the most exciting component about school, however governments and schools are reconsidering removing the school uniform policy, but what they really are removing is an important childhood memory and breaking a tradition. School uniforms help transform students to obtain a neat and smart appearance and as a matter of fact, help prepare them for adulthood for many reasons. A majority of school uniforms are designed to give a formal approach, which develops a neat, presentable and professional appearance for all students. Many public schools don’t require a uniform policy, including the public school I went to back in my primary years. The way I remember how most students dressed when attending this school would give the appearance that they were going to a night club, it was disappointing to see numerous amounts of young students dress this inappropriately.
These values are easy to say but hard to live by and maintain. This essay will exemplify one of the seven values and how it has affected my life. When I was in my senior year of high school, I was given the responsibility to train, teach, and lead a renowned drill team. I had more people cheering for me to fail than to succeed, and I understood why because on the outside looking in, the only thing anyone could see was a quiet and meek baby faced female that could not be a day out of middle school. Despite the doubts I stood up and took my responsibilities, and was given a team of thirty two junior reserved officer training corps (JROTC) cadets ranging from 9th to 12th grade that were coming from all different walks of life.
American Pride “Will you proudly stand and say the pledge of allegiance….” I hear these words every morning before our morning announcements boom over the intercom system at Eufaula High School. I, along with most of my classmates, stand to pledge allegiance to our country; however, some of my classmates choose not to stand. Their choice not to stand immediately takes my mind to the stormy beaches of Normandy, the sandy deserts of Afghanistan, and the humid jungles of Vietnam. The wars fought by our U.S. military on these foreign lands preserved my right to stand for the pledge of allegiance as well as my classmates’ rights not to stand for the pledge of allegiance. As ironic as it may seem, our U.S. military fight to preserve the rights
Running Head: PUBLIC SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Public School Uniform and Effect on Student Achievement and Discipline Abstract Uniforms have been used for years by countries, work-places, and sports teams to promote positive attitudes, professionalism, pride, and discipline. Private schools have long been thought of as the place where there students would be required to wear a uniform, the debate is ever increasing for the use of such measures for public schools. In 1994 when Long Beach Unified District (LBUD) required all students K-8 to wear school uniforms only about 3% of public school required school uniforms (NCES,2010). In 2008 about 18% of public school now require school uniforms (NCES, 2010). Today with the constant reports of low student achievement, school violence, drug use among students schools are scrambling to reform and improve student achievement and discipline.
The initial negotiation deal states that there would not be any distribution agreement/contracts if it was not in writing and signed by both parties. Although the BTT manager did post an email to Chou outlining the terms and conditions of a distribution contract it does not officially confirm an agreement because neither party signed the document to seal a contract agreement as was required. Without any signatures of either parties or legally binding drafts it was previously agreed upon by both parties that no agreement or contracts exist. 2. What facts may weigh in favor of or against Chou in terms of the parties’ objective intent to contract?
According to the Gay and Lesbian Education Network (GLSEN) Over half of all students have reported hearing homophobic remarks often at school. Many students claim that they use these terms harmlessly, and that they don’t mean to offend anyone. Psychology teacher at DGS Brian Szweda says he hears anti-gay slurs multiple times a week at school. Szweda also believes as a teacher he’s “more aware of it than maybe some others are.” “It’s something I’m cognizant of.” Szweda said. “…and I make sure that if I do hear it I say something to the student saying it.” Szweda agrees that the students are usually saying it carelessly and don’t realize they might be offending anyone.
“Your rarely see a teacher tell a kid to tuck in his shirt and have some pride in his appearance.” The best coaches still live by this code and make no apologies for demanding the kids to live up to it. Coaches talk so confidently about character but so many of them are morally tongue-tied about it. First, the coaches still command authority. “The same kids who have decided it is cool to dismiss teachers or parents will still listen to a coach. Go into a high school and watch the dynamics of a classroom.
Presentation Meditation in schools Outline I. Introduction a. Audience hook: “One of the primary ironies of modern education is that we ask students to ‘pay attention’ dozens of times a day, yet we never teach them how” (Saltzman, 2011) b.
