school students. Cheating is not limited to a certain age group; it can range from different ages. People cheat for many reasons. Many high school students cheat due to the fact they do not want to risk getting a negative grade. Sometimes students want to succeed at all costs so they turn to cheating. While others cheat simply because they do not understand. In today’s busy time it is easy for a student to forget to complete an assignment or not have enough time to complete it. Students can…
preparing our youth to enter the complex adult world. Schools ensure the advancement of all students regardless of race, sex, or social class. Not one child is ever “left behind” in our schools. With all the standardized exams and tests administered to students, we can make sure that everyone is on the same path for success. However, no matter how much emphasis we put into education we still see students failing and falling behind. Many soon drop out and are thrust into society with the skill…

United States, in 54 other countries around the world, and is taught to 36,000,000 students each year” (Hanson 1). Since D.A.R.E. makes appearances in many schools all over the world it’s important to be aware of how affective this program really is. Despite the arguments that D.A.R.E. programs reach out to kids at a young age and prevent many from turning to a life of drug abuse, it is clear that D.A.R.E. is failing because teens are more inclined to listen to their peers than adults, it costs…

Is ‘Just Passing’ Failing? Would our nation’s society be effected if American colleges changed from the grade scale to the pass/fail scale? I believe it would. I think the current system being implemented by U.S. universities has several advantages to a pass/fail scale. My prime example would be in the case of future educators. Other examples would include future attorneys and doctors. I would also argue that students’ work ethics might be drastically altered. To change the current higher…
and not a mandatory movement into the next grade level. This single action teaches students many things about life and one of them is there is no requirement for success, its merely given to anyone that shows up wanting it.

This is a cop out for an education system to hold any kind of a standard.…

the way students are graded. In some cases, students feel as if their final grades do not represent their overall performance in the classroom, but test scores are a major factor in our grades and one slip may cause your grade to drop unfairly. Our final grades in all of our courses are heavily dependent on our midterms and final test scores and that is no secret. Imagine if a student were to fail their midterm or final that is a huge blow to their final grade towards that subject and students…
scholarships a year for four seasons. It is unfair that the victims had ,for many year, been ignored by the school and the law, but the action taken by NCAA at the time were over the line.

September 8, 2014 - NCAA ends the Nittany Lions' post season ban and scholarship limits. The $60 million fine and the 13 years of vacated wins for renowned…
