Should students be required to wear school uniforms? The arguments against the requirement of school uniforms is not new. During the 1800’s England required all of their students to wear uniforms. In the United States, this school requirement began in 1987 in an inner-city school in Baltimore. In 1994, a school district in California followed suit. People who oppose school uniforms argue that requiring students to dress in a particular way is against the First Amendment of the US Constitution.…

Personal Reflection/Hypothesis The social issue I picked for my dissertation is early school times affect on students grades. My personal reflection on this topic is that I think school should start later because from personal experiences almost everyday I wake up for school and i’m still tired, and I know every grown up says “maybe you shouldn’t stay up so late and go to sleep earlier” but that’s the thing we can’t because we have homework, work and sports etc. I understand that if we started…

First Home Run The pitcher steps on to the mound and is ready to pitch, and whoosh in comes a fastball and crack the way I hit the ball sounded like banging a hammer on a piece of metal and as I took off running I watched the ball sail out of the park for my first home run. As I rounded second base I could hear the voices of sister Larissa my mom Leeann and my dad John screaming for me and could feel a lot of excitement from the crowd. In this story I am going to tell you about when I hit my…

Should Schools Reconsider their Homework Policies? For most parents and educators, homework is one of the best things a student can do to improve their knowledge and skills. They are not the ones who are completing the assigned tasks, so for them, the benefits of homework outweigh the harms students experience. For students, on the other hand, homework can be dreaded nightmare. Most students view homework as a way teachers can extend school hours. The bright side of homework is that it creates…

For my final portfolio, I chose to revise a shorter essay, “Potential Ramifications of a Trump Presidency,” and a longer essay, “Assignment 7: Finding Place Research Project.” I chose these two essays specifically because of their differences. The former is shorter, more informal, and includes more of my thoughts and opinions. The latter is a longer research paper, and thus is more formal and less biased as I attempted to give a brief history of gentrification and its impacts on East Liberty.…

My long-range curriculum map was designed for 3rd grade math. When I originally designed this map, math was entirely outside of my comfort zone. I did fairly well at math in elementary school; however, I have tried to help my younger brother with his math since then and I no longer excel in it. This affected my ability to feel confident when designing the units. Fortunately, this did help my perspective as an educator because I can understand how some students might struggle. Nonetheless,…

We all know what it is like to go to school for 8 hours Monday through Friday and then come home to homework each per night. I remember in elementary school how I couldn 't wait to get home from a long day of school and being able to do whatever I wanted to do.

But those visions are always ruined when you get home and your parent reminds you it is time to do…
