Emmitt Smith High School should Continue the Policy The National Center for Education Statistics states that 94% of schools have a zero-tolerance policy for weapons or firearms, and 87% for alcohol, while only 79% report mandatory suspensions or expulsions for violence or tobacco. These numbers are jaw dropping, because almost 100% of schools in the nation have a zero-tolerance a policy. Knowing these statistics, the administration at Emmitt Smith High School should push to have the current policy continue. Thought the policy has been said to be controversial, with some arguing that it violates the student’s rights, it can be disproved with the results of the surveys taken by the student body at this school.…
Several issues related to student rights, responsibilities, and privacy have been brought forward to various levels of the federal court system. In the case study from chapter three of the text, several questions are posed related to the legal implications of a principal searching students’ hotel rooms and the limits that exist related to discipline and power.

"Getting Ahead of the Disruption” Peaceful Setting College, although a private institution, shared aspects of political influence. The college is located in a small college-centric town in a Mid-Western US state with an impression and expectation of academic excellence and higher learning. The college benefited from a substantial endowment that provided them the financial resources to see the institution through difficult financial times (Manning, 2013). Although the college was not in a current crisis, administrators were concerned the current financial and educational model may no longer be supportable. In an effort to bring change to keep the college financially an educationally viable, the college began to explore innovative ways to approach the education they deliver now and in the future (Manning, 2013).…

Most students and teachers have limited time between classes which can make it a stressful experience trying to get to their next class. At EvCC the campus has been upgraded one piece at a time which has created a disjointed atmosphere.…
I think that the society has a giant responsibility to teach people about the dangers of smoking. Especially young people who does not recognise how dumb it is to start and whom still relies on other people to pay for their unhealthy habits. This is something that is more societies fault than it is the governments. Even though the government has made laws that should make it illegal for people below 18 years to buy cigarettes, then the harsh truth is that no store will stop a smoker from buying a pack. Because if he does not sell the pack someone else will.…
