Pants to School.” written by Isabella Kwai. The main Idea in this article is about how in Australia the dress code for the female students is only to wear skirts and the schools have many complaints of the dress code. After many complaints after the female dress code a student who is a mother of an 11 year old, Sofia wrote to the state’s education minister, looking for a change.

Everyone loves school, so we should make it easier on the students by getting lockers so that they don’t have to carry around all their books and materials. Today almost every teacher wants their students to have a separate notebook and binder/folder for their own class. That can put a lot of weight in our backpacks. These lockers can help prevent students have back problems. Schools should have hall lockers because our backpacks are too heavy and lockers would be easier to have and would…

Some people think that school uniforms takes away from a student’s individuality but I would have to say that wearing school uniforms creates uniformity instead. Do they take away from the student’s individuality, of course they don’t. There are many reasons that school uniforms would be a good thing for students in all schools. If everyone is dressed the same way, then everyone could be considered equals in class instead of forming groups of students, such as “preps”, “jocks”, “goth”, or…

Students have set rules and expectations to follow. One rule would be dress code. At Beaufort High School a 17 year old Student Body President was stopped by a teacher in the hallway and was told, “Your skirt is too short. You need to go to in-school suspension and then go home”. After she was told to go to in-school suspension, she was told that she could go home and change. She was embarrassed and humiliated. The dress code states pants have to be 3 inches above the knee. The teacher could of…

In my high school, students are grouped by appearance or attitude. There are the “emo” kids, hicks, athletes, nerds, and outcasts. The classifications seem fair at first glance. The classifying is done by other students. Seldom do you see the categorized students referring to themselves as a “goth,” or “redneck.” The way someone dresses is the main reason that influences what other people think about them. In high school, the phrase, “Dress to impress” is accurate. Wearing Nike, or Adidas shoes…

A concrete patio or entryway is a standard on most homes in Texas. Owners don’t typically even acknowledge that they can transform this feature of their home although it’s typically the first thing a visitor sees. A concrete overlay is a cost efficient way to add style and a modern touch to the front of a home to boost its curb appeal. A concrete overlay is an ideal way to transform any concrete feature that needs a little style. A front porch or entryway is typically just plain concrete with a…

Why should students be forced to hide their individuality? Each and every human being is unique, so they should be allowed to put their real selves on display, due to the fact that high school is a time when students have yet to fully explore the different aspects of their personality. Not only do school uniforms remove the opportunity for self-expression, but they could also pose a problem for low-income parents, considering that many schools make their uniforms costly. Looking back at Eastern…

The reading states that the school uniforms can reduce the stresses and difficulties of students and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that there is not much benfits from the school uniforms and refutes each of the authors' reasons. First, the reading states that the families of students will benefit significantly by saving on the cost of clothing. The professor counters this point by saying that the families of the students will spend more money on clothing. The…

In the beginning of the 19th century, cities were growing and railroads were expanding, but people couldn't send or receive messages in a short amount of time. One example of how news and messages were transmitted was the Pony Express. There were some electrical communications, but they were either too slow or too complicated. Railroads were helping expand the country quickly, they were connecting cities to each other, but there needed to be some form of communication to pass messages throughout…

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper made one of the most significant impacts on the field of Computer Science and programming ever through her work both in and out of the Navy. Hopper’s most memorable and well known contribution she made occurred while she was working at Harvard, and found a moth inside of a Mark II computer, shorting it. This moth is the source of the common term “computer bug” still used today. However, the field of Computer Science would be almost identical today, even if the term…
