School Dress Code
859 wordsAn A- (90%) was received on this paper. The dress code in public schooling has been a controversial issue lately, both in Massachusetts and nation-wide.

A dress code in public schooling would be a good idea because it would reduce violence, eliminate the problem of wearing hats or jackets in school, and make school more of an academic atmosphere, and less of a social one. In this paper, I will di...

Students With Licenses
437 wordsRecent studies in automobile accident data shows that students who have fewer accidents also receive good grades in school as opposed to students with poor grades. In the future, we may see a Maine law that would issue temporary licenses to students, only to be renewed with proof of passing grades. This suggestion will most defiantly stir up controversy, largely among the students at risk of being affected by this law. I myself oppose such an absurd suggestion, and I believe that a law of that n...

1 Percent Of Public Schools
2,079 wordsFrom decade to decade, there has been a new type of fad to sweep the country. In the 50's it was dancing and having fun. In the 60's it was to dress freely and avoid the draft.

Social Promotion Devastating To A Student's Future
1,684 wordsSocial Promotion: An Excuse for Not Educating a Child When it comes to students failing a grade level there has always been two options, either a student can be socially promoted or they can be retained.

While, presenting both sides of the argument I will note that retention is not always the solution to a failing child's future, however, promoting...

Open Campus Policy
302 wordsThe subject that I want to discuss is not about a place or an object but of a privilege. In Cheltenham High School, there was this 'privilege' known as 'open campus.

School Is Hell
441 wordsThe comic strip "School is Hell" by Matt Groening is a snapshot of school life featuring an anthropomorphic rabbit.

According to most of the students, school can be as bad as hell. Therefore, Groening chooses to represent students through a rabbit and he does a very good job by turning his well of wit to chi...
