thought my future career had to match my college major. After taking the course and my interview, I now understand this is simply not true. I plan on becoming a math…

lives. The school psychologist records information about the family’s situation and incorporated her notes in the child’s psychological education record. In this ethics case study, there are a few problems present. Firstly, there is no mention of the student’s behavior records from second grade. Secondly, the mother indicated that there has been lax parental supervision. Lastly, the school psychologist included private information in the child’s school psychological education record.

my dad’s death was extreme because he was such a good father and he truly loved each of us. Every month he took me and my siblings out to restaurants for one-on-one time. On these daddy daughter dates, he taught us respect and manners. My dad set a high standard for anyone who would take me on a date in the future. My dad would take us fishing, arrow-head hunting in the fields, camping, to amusement parks, and to beaches. He was an entrepreneur who owned his own remodeling business, known as…

Cheating is one of the most common occurrences within high 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.

The Price of Success Attending college was an inconceivable thought for me when I was ten years old. When I was growing up neither of my parents had a college degree and both worked exceptionally hard to make a living. I did not like school and was so glad I had eight years of school left, and I was done forever; however, my mom and dad quit their jobs to live with my grandpa while my mom acquired her nursing degree. I was both excited to be moving, but I did not understand why anyone would take…

out of high school, I applied to attend this school but unfortunately I was not accepted. When I found out, I was devastated and torn because, out of all the schools I applied to, this was my top choice. Even though, at the time I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to become in the future, I was certain it would be something in the science field, which was one of the top reasons among others why I was so infatuated with this University. To me, at the time it was either this school or no school. I…

Teaching students about positive traits and productive ways to deal with their problems promotes a safe, encouraging, constructive classroom, self-esteem, and better grades. I plan to teach Language Arts to middle-school aged students; anywhere from 6th to 9th grade. The middle-school years are an optimal time to urge good character as it is when kids are defining themselves. For the purpose of this paper, I will write as though I were teaching the 8th grade. In English, particularly, there are…

Mothers inspire children to achieve any goal placed on them; my mother is no exception. They are the foundation of the millions of children in the world, who look to find support in a being that we call, mom. Although the journey is not always perfect, I, like many other individuals, am forever grateful for the mother that raised me. When I was younger, I was bowlegged, my mother thought it was best to deal with the situation now, rather than live a difficult life full of ridicules and…

The school to prison pipeline is a nationwide epidemic that is affecting our students beginning in their primary years of education such as preschool through their post secondary education, or even post graduate level. The school to prison pipeline is only pushing students out of the education system and into the criminal justice system. Essentially this pipeline targets students whom are either minorities, disabled, or LGBTQ. Through zero-tolerance policies students are becoming targets to…
